....factory tour

Just got back from a 2 week vacation in Europe. One of the places I visited was Italy. While there, I went to the Pagaini and Lamborghini factory tours and museum. I also visited the Ferrari museum. When I was in Germany, I also checked out the Porsche and BMW museums too.

The Paganitour was great. Small facilities, but everything in the factory was so pristine and amazing. I wasn't allowed to take pics in the factory, just in the showroom, which had a Zonda F in full cabon, and a Zonda F clubsport coupe' painted white

.

We were told we missed 10 Zondas on the street by one day

There was an owners get together at the factory. Would have loved to see that, and maybe catch a ride.

Inside the factory, we first saw 3 Zondas that were being assembled. One was a F coupe', and the other 2 were R's. All three appeared about halfway completed. We ere told it takes one year to build a Zonda by hand. Before we could enter the factory, they had to put away "something". We were told it was plans/prototypes of the new/future Pagani. We did however see...after pleading...the first ever Zonda Cinque. Only 4 more will ever be built. It appeared almost completed, as it was still on the lift about 6 feet up. It looked awesome. After the tour I took pics of the 2 cars in the showroom. Both sold, awaiting owners pick up. As we were getting ready to leave, they moved the 2 in the showroom, by hand, and brought in another Zonda F spyder from the back area behind the factory. It sounded amazing as they started it up and revved it up.

Here are the pics.....
