Now You Can Visit the Pagani Factory (on Google)

It's the next best thing to an actual in person tour.

If you ever happen to go on vacation to Italy, there are a few places you ought to go to other than cities such as Rome, Venice and Florence. The Vatican? Good guess, but no. Major museums that display some of the most beautiful works of art ever created over the centuries? Getting closer, but still not quite there. How about supercar brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani? Jackpot.

But getting to Italy may prove difficult for many, so Pagani is now offering the next best thing: a virtual tour of its headquarters and factory via Google Street View. Not only can you experience the workshop itself, but Pagani also went a step further by allowing viewers to "sit" inside the interiors of the Zonda Cinque Roadster and the Huayra. The Pagani facility itself is also quite something, decorated with wall paintings along with a pair of AMG engines on display.

Pagani Factory Tours - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Pagani Factory Tour

Pagani Factory Tour : discover how the beautiful Zonda and Huayra supercars are made.

The  Pagani Factory Tour is part of our Dream Cars trips in Italy, which allow you to live the myth of the best Italian cars brands, such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani, through visits to their museums, factories tours and test drives on road and track!

The exclusive Pagani Factory is based in the area between Modena and Bologna in northern Italy known as “ Land of Motors ” or “Motorvalley” .

This area is famous all over the world since most of the Italian major producers of super cars and motorbikes such as Pagani, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Ducati and Maserati are indeed located here.

San Cesario sul Panaro , near Modena, the small village where the Pagani Factory is, lies just 17 kilometers far from the Lamborghini Factory and the Lamborghini Museum in Sant’Agata Bolognese .

At the Pagani facility you can discover the incredible life of Horacio Pagani , long-term collaborator with Lamborghini, and founder of Pagani Composite Research in 1988, Modena Design in 1991 and eventually Pagani Automobili S.p.A. in 1992, the company that gave birth to supercars such as Zonda and Huayra.

The first spectacular Zonda, known as Fangio F1 , was launched in 1999 at the Geneva Motor Show . The Zonda was replaced in 2011 by its evolution, the Pagani Huayra , with an incredible power of 700 hp, elected “Evo Car 2012” and “Top Gear Hypercar Magazine of the Year 2012”, an exclusive car with price starting from a base of about a million euro.

The visit starts in the showroom, where you can see the very first model to scale which Pagani made when he was just 12 years old, and the first racing car that he ever built, at the young age of 20.

The showroom also hosts variants of the Zonda , included the race version Zonda R , the car that lapped the Nürburgring in 6:47, claiming the record for production-based cars from the Ferrari 599XX.

The exhibition includes also the very first drawing of the Zonda and the latest Zonda Revolution and Huayra .

The tour continues with a guided tour of the Pagani laboratory , which allows you to see the construction phases of the latest models , the Zonda and the Huayra.

In the assembly room you will see several skeletal Paganis in different stages of completion. In another room, you will discover how the workers carefully fit panels together and test them for a perfect fit.

The final room houses the massive kiln where all the carbon fibre pieces, which are formed on site, are fired. Admire skilled craftsmen hand building the carbon fibre chassis and frame of the amazing Pagani supercars.

Particularly interesting are the details regarding the super light materials used , such as carbon fiber and titanium, which make these cars unique and extremely competitive .

The tour ends with a visit to the Pagani Store , where you have a chance to buy official Pagani merchandise.

During the tour you get an appreciation for how much care is put into each car.

The Pagani Factory and Showroom is definitely worth a stop if you’re in Italy.

The visit to the Factory is included at a special rate in our Pagani, Lamborghini and Ferrari Museum and Factory Day Trip from Milan , which will allow you to discover the amazing mix of high-tech and handcraft behind the Pagani cars, escorted by an official Pagani Factory guide , and to learn about the history of Horacio Pagani and its cars.

PAGANI FACTORY TOURS (San Cesario sul Panaro) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go

Pagani factory tour and Horacio Pagani Museum

We always like to say that “a pagani car is not just a car, but a masterpiece”, pagani factory tour.

 We offer you the guided tour of the Pagani Museum together with the Pagani factory tour . Visit the Pagani Automobili means enter in an “art studio” . You will not see mechanical productions lines, bus just workers and their hands, because Pagani cars are all hand made . This car factory is the only one which produces the shape of the car in carbon fiber: the guide will explain you all the secrets about this material, so loved by Mr. Horacio Pagani, and will show you the autoclaves where it is cooked. Don’t image a large factory, but an elegant small building where big secret is kept: a car of 2.000.000 Euros! Here you can really feel and understand what “made in Italy” means. 

Horacio Pagani Museum Tour

The Horacio Pagani Museum tells you about the history of a genius , the story of an argentine young man with the love for cars who has realized his dream and now builds one of the most amazing car of the world! The Horacio Pagani Automobili Museum is a journey back to the beginning of it fuonder, through his first minibike, the Formula 2 car he built, which is considered the first Pagani car ever, the period at the Lamborghini and then, the foundation of “ Modena Design ”, the original name of the factory, a name and a logo that you will find written on all the Zonda cars. But the museum shows also about the history and the evolution of Pagani cars: the Zonda and its models as the Zonda La Nonna (Grandmother…a unique car),  Zonda F, the Roadster Cinque , the Zonda S and Zonda R , one of the fastest car ever built, and of course the new amazing Huayra.

OUR SPECIAL OPTIONS ON REQUEST : private guided tour of the Pagani Museum or/and of the Pagani Factory on exclusive (suggested for groups min. 10/12 people).

From a home-built motorbike to Hondas and beyond: join TG for a sneaky tour

Fancy some Top Gear holiday advice? If you happen to be walking past the Pagani factory based at San Cesario sul Panaro in Modena, Italy, here’s a tip.

You’re welcome to walk up the front door, and for a small fee at the reception desk, take a wander down Pagani’s own memory lane. But in case you’re not passing Modena any time soon, allow us to take you on a guided tour through the Pagani Museo. Be warned: it’s a slobbering, NSFW collection of car pornography.

The OG Pagani

Yep, this is Genesis. And as the eagle-eyed will have spotted, the first Pagani was also the only Pagani not to powered by Mercedes-AMG. Have that one for free, pub quiz fact fans.

While still living in his native Argentina as a 20-year old talented engineer, Horacio Pagani was hired by Renault to help improve its F2 racer. Horacio worked chiefly on the body and aerodynamics, and the car’s results dramatically improved. So much so, that when he decided to up and move to Europe, Argentine racing legend and family friend Juan-Manuel Fangio wrote him a letter of reference. Said letter is also showcased in the museo.

Note that one of several sketches of Leonardo da Vinci is hanging on the wall. Mr Pagani is fascinated by da Vinci, whose innovation and respect for art and science inspires the attention to detail of the company’s supercars.

Four wheels good, two wheels also good.

Before Horacio got to building cars, he was building motorcycles out of whatever he could find. Well, it’s certainly easier to commute on than a Huayra BC, but not quite as quick around Monza.

Grandma Zonda

If you really know your Paganis, you’ll have heard of the car they call ‘la Nonna’. The 'grandmother’.

This is Pagani chassis 002. While 001 was used for crash testing and recently rebuilt to original Zonda C12 spec, 002 lived a very different life – one of constant evolution. It’s been the test bed for the constant improvement of the Zonda, starting life with a 6.0-litre V12 but gradually being upgraded with the 7.3-litre engine, more power, lighter components, Zonda F bodywork and wheels, and then better suspension.

Originally, it had a manual transmission, but right now the car is living out its days in 760bhp Zonda Cinque spec, complete with a paddleshift gearbox. This chassis has, through its hard life of testing, trial and improvement, covered over 620,000 miles over more than 20 years, on roads and racetracks all over the world.

La Nonna has earned her retirement, you’ll agree.

Gran Turismo

Is it rude to take a photograph of an Italian grandmother in a state of undress? We’ll let you be the judge.

A Zonda fit for a prince

This is a very early Zonda S, painted a bespoke shade of blue as commissioned by a wealthy (duh) Arab prince. Nowadays, it looks almost quaint – paint on a Pagani, instead of bare carbon fibre. How very old-school. Pagani bought back this car because of a rare spec choice – painted inner wheel rims, matching the car’s bodywork.

Depreciation? Never heard of it

It’s been a dream of Mr Pagani to have a museum showcasing the progression of the cars bearing his name for some time, but putting it together has been a painstaking process. The reason? Well, Pagani never retained ‘one of each’ for nostalgia’s sake. Each car built was individually specced and sold, with only the factory test mule remaining behind.

As each new iteration of Zonda and Huayra has emerged, customers have sent their supercars back to Italy to be upgraded and tweaked. So, originality is a rare thing in the world of Pagani. The company has had to persuade customers to sell cars back to the museum, at up to three times the original price paid for them. Triple interest!

Toilet stop…

Sorry, had to have a swift bathroom break midway through the tour. Hope you understand. But, I thought you might like to see inside. Because where else but the home of Pagani would you expect to rinse your hands in a carbon-fibre sink, under a carbon-fibre tap? On a carbon-fibre worktop, too. Welcome to Top Gear’s Loo of the Year.

Recognise this? It’s the original 2005 Zonda F press car, now fully detoxed of journalistic bodily fluids.

This is the very machine you saw blowing Richard Hammond’s mind on Top Gear telly, before setting what was for a long time the TG test track lap record of 1min 18.4sec. This 602bhp example, with the suppliers' logos stencilled onto the side, also featured in Top Trumps cards, posters, and all of the press photography of the Zonda F. Is this the perfect Zonda spec?

F. (Roof) Off

Course, you might prefer an all-original Zonda F Roadster. Faster around the Top Gear test track than a Bugatti Veyron, you might remember.

Is this man the owner? Is that colour-coordinated rucksack just a coincidence? Yes. Yes it is.

It’s pronounced ‘Chin-kwuh’

The Cinque was supposed to be the last hurrah for the Zonda – and we know how that turned out. But the fact that more powerful, more aero-obsessed special editions came later doesn’t mean that the five hard-top and five topless Zonda Cinques are any less awesome. That roof scoop has become a Zonda icon. Is it just us, or can you hear this picture?

Pick a Zonda your own size: part one

Pagani very kindly supplied a Zonda Cinque more suited to a Top Gear oik’s budget.

Pick a Zonda your own size: part two

Who says supercars bring out the inner kid in all of us? Oh. Whoops.

When Pagani revealed the 739bhp Zonda R back in 2009, we didn’t really understand it. Too loud for a private track day, too crazy for the road, too unrestricted to be eligible to race. Oh, and the small matter of £1.5million. What was the point?

Underneath, this was really a test bed for the Huayra, allowing Pagani to work on racetrack-proven suspension and material tech in plain sight. And it was a nice little bit of business on the side, truth be told. Ten years on, we don’t question the point of the gloriously loud, batsh*t mad Zonda R. We just thank the lord (no, not that one, Horacio) that it exists.

Game of thrones

Yep, the seat bolsters in the no-compromise Zonda R are actually colour-matched to the Italian flag. Personally, if we were going for a 6min 47sec lap time at the Nürburgring, we’d have gone for a nice rich brown. Parp.

The end of the beginning

After the Zonda, the Huayra carried on the Pagani name. This matte silver example is chassis 001, as seen on the cover of Top Gear magazine, on Top Gear telly, setting the TG test track lap record, and probably in a few other  magazines over the years. But mainly in Top Gear.

Funny how it looks almost plain, these days. We’re too used to an Instagram diet of Huayras in clear-coat carbon with zany colours and big wings attached.

Door to door service

And here’s a bonus shot of the original Huayra for you, with the doors raised. You could argue that no supercar deserves to live out its days posed in a museum, but the Huayra surely gets close to qualifying as art.

No really, this is the last Zonda

And Horacio should know. This one’s his.

Really. It’s the last one
