I became aware of Pagani somewhere in the middle of the Zonda development arc and loved it. When the Huarya came out, I wasn't as enthralled by the rounder shape but I agreed, the thought of having those flaps and gorgeous steampunk [automatic] shifter was so enticing (not that I'll ever afford one). Ironically, I now think the Huarya is a standard shape and the Utopia has some less-desirable curviness, but the application of steampunk styling to the returned manual shifter is enticing. I appreciate the sentiment of no longer chasing the absolute fastest lap times and instead working towards a driver's vehicle that's 99% as fast around a track. Horatio Pagani continues to keep his artistic flare attached to his namesakes.
I'm gleeful over Koenigsegg for similar reasons, but from an engineering perspective. Christian can ramble on about his tech development and deliver results much in the way non-technical people think "Tesla" does.
