Lamborghini Said No. He Risked Everything to Build a Pagani

A young man from Argentina wanted to build a car with his own name on it. First, he had to convince the world he belonged in the workshop. Horacio Pagani crossed the Atlantic, worked his way into Lamborghini, and recognized the potential of carbon fiber before the company was ready to invest in his vision. When management refused to buy the machine he needed, he borrowed the money and bought it himself. But owning an autoclave was one thing. Building an entire supercar was something else. This documentary follows Pagani's journey from handmade models in Argentina to the Lamborghini Countach Evoluzione, the founding of Modena Design, and the years of work behind the Pagani Zonda. Along the way, a friendship with Formula 1 legend Juan Manuel Fangio helped connect an unknown carmaker with Mercedes-Benz. A true story about engineering, calculated risk, and the distance between drawing your dream car and putting your own name on its nose. 0:00 The machine they would not buy 1:19 A boy with an impossible address 2:51 Building a way out 4:24 Starting again in Italy 5:51 The carbon-fiber 7:17 Leaving the bull behind 8:46 A legend opens a door 10:13 Making the impossible work 11:44 Geneva, 1999 13:11 The name on the car #Pagani #PaganiZonda #SupercarHistory
