My Trip to Pagani
#15
Yes, it was an awesome visit. There were 2 Huayras being built. They were performing maintenance on several Zondas (including a purple one).

It all depends. On the Ferrari and Lamborghini web sites, they state that you should get reservations before you go. When we showed up at Lamborghini, we were able to get a factory tour without really waiting. When we went to Ferrari, we were hoping to go to a 1:30 tour (or something like that), but they were booked up. They said we could do a 6:00 tour, but we went next door to Push Start and drove a Ferrari :-) instead.
But Pagani was a little more trouble. There was nothing on their website about factory tours. We went to Pagani first thing in the morning, and found a letter (in Italian) taped to their gate. Neither of us read/speak Italian, but we figured out it said they were closed that day. It turns out that National Geographic UK was filming a special about Mr. Pagani that day. Somebody was delivering coffee, and he had us come in with him, so we got to go to the waiting area. That is where we saw the two Zondas. We got their phone number, and we went on to visit Ferrari and Lamborghini that day. We called back the next day, and set up an appointment for the following day. So we went back for the Pagani factory tour. National Geographic was still doing a little filming that day, so we might be in the special when it comes out.
