By the way guys, neither Koenigsegg nor Pagani produce Blue carbon. The effect you see is actually blue tinted clear lacquer sprayed over the normal black carbon. As the paint is translucent, whatever is underneath it will show through. The more of the tinted lacquer you spray on the darker the colour gets. I have produced this effect myself. It is not new or clever, just the use of candy paints that have been around for over 40 years.

This car uses the same technique but with a different colour

Exacly! This guy thinks Pagani is some kind of MIT....

I think what he was saying is that Pagani were the "first" manufacturer to offer it as an option which they were. Koenigsegg and the Bugatti then offered it as well. But Pagani were the first to offer the finish commercially

All of them offer it. Bugatti even has he says, inspires much more often on that bluish shade than Koenigsegg, wich as far as i know the BLT is the only one with that shade because the client requested it like that. Coloured carbon is not a Pagani only patetend product. Koenigsegg went deeper, once again, and in house developed shimmered in diamonds carbon.

Mr pagani is actually the MIT of carbonfibre learn something

And how do you know that the active aero did not bring anything new ? It's bearly been tested.

You are sad cause koenigsegg delibretly does not post track times. Last time they did they got their ass handed to them.

Maybe you can talk to your contacts at the factory.. They might listen to your request to prove their product to be more than a top fuel dragster wannabe

And why is that? As far as we are aware and what automotive sector concerns Mclaren was the first to use Carbon Fiber on their chassis. So the amout of data and development that they have should be way more important than what Pagani or Modena Design have aquired.

Dont worry, I'm happy with the times that they have posted the last time and also the world record for 0-300-0 that Koenigsegg are holders off.

FYI when mr pagani was 17 he worked for Renault racing team with glas fibre and he was responsible for the cf work on the Lamborghini countach 25 anniversary.

So he is easily an authority on cf.

Atleast way more so than koenigsegg

Wowwwwww!!! You are a genious!! From that to consider him a kind of MIT guru of CF, man its a very long distance. Do not know if Pagani is more advanced in CF that Koenigsegg, but these days thats easely achivable because that knowledge on CF is widespread. One thing i can tell you, the engine that Koenigsegg developed and continues to develop in house its a true MIT of enginering contrary to some companies that do not have the knowledge or decided to go the easy way sourcing out third parties.

That third party actually invented the car and make pretty good engines.
And yes you said mclaren has done it for a long time hence them being experts. I say the same
Thing and u whine like a bitch?
Hah

Go read up on pagani and learn how skilled they are. Just look at the weave of carbon fibre on a huayra compared to any other cf car and you will see.
And on top of that they invented carbotanium .. Carbon fibre is old now
