I love that. Much respect for keeping the manual transmission.

Not a question, but I just wanted to say great job and its great to see a product that pushes the envelope to set records come out of this country. Its people like you and your company that proves that nothing is impossible and there is always room outside of the "box".

Yes! Back in the mid 90's some friends and I built a few replicas as a challenge to see how high we could take the all round performance of them. It quickly transformed into a burning desire for me to design something from the ground up that was not built around a pre set platform.

List of excuses when the UAII comes out:
1. so what.... how fast is it in reverse
2. Yeah but where is the spare tire
3. That's impressive but can you do it on a perfect test track with a 5 mile straight?
4. Yeah but can you speak German
5. wait do it again I wasn't ready that time

Definitely glad to hear you guys are making the manual standard!! Don't get me wrong there is definitely a place for F1's as DJ said, but the feel of a true manual is part of the driving experience in my opinion.
Loving this thread btw!!!

Right now it has come down to Bugatti vs Koenigsegg vs SSC. Competition to me, has always fostered growth as we see one trying to outdo the other. The mere fact that SSC has managed to get a company like Bugatti to not only notice but respond was impressive in itself. Do you envision this trend continuing for the near foreseenable future as a result? What are your thoughts on Bugatti and Koenigsegg?
Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Pagani, definitely all provoke innovation through competition. I think that the trend will continue and that each of us has similarities and definable differences. We have the utmost respect for the said manufacturers and are actually close with some!
