Pagani have a separate company dedicated to carbon composite manufacturing and consulting - they came up with the "carbotanium" bonded carbon composites and titanium used in the Huayra:

Pagani make McLaren look mass market!

Pagani cars also look like they've been designed by 11 year old boys on a sugar-high.

That's a bad thing? :-)

[crispyambulance]

Not necessarily, but very few people can pull off THAT level ostentatiousness and keep a straight face.

I am glad we live in a world where such things can exist, but I wouldn't own one even if it were free.

[beachstartup]

people who drive around in cars like that don't have to keep a straight face. they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Obviously; anyone with standards prefers cars designed by 16 years olds on cough syrup high.

Carbotanium is my favorite canobtanium.

I wonder what McLaren can achieve when it puts its mind to reducing production costs?

[bwilliams18]

They've said before that they have proprietary techniques that allow them to produce the CF for their road cars at scale more affordably.

[stcredzero]

Combine this with Tesla's acquisition of CF expertise, and I would wager that more CF is going to be used in electric vehicles in the near future, providing even greater range.

Bravo man, bravo.
