Supercars: Pagani-Million Euro Hyper Car

What makes a car worth a million Euros? The answer for Horacio Pagani is a super car that perfectly blends art and
engineering, that has unsurpassed power, performance and luxury, the finest possible raw materials and in which
every single one of its 4700 components will be recognised as a work of art. This film tells the story of Pagani's
successor to his world famous Zonda. It follows the creation of the Pagani Huayra from the start of its secret design
and development eight years ago through a testing programme that has exceeded one million kilometres to its
launch in Geneva in 2011 and to the production of the very first customer cars. We'll meet the dedicated Pagani
craftsmen who share Horacio's love of detail and the starstruck suppliers who have gone to extraordinary lengths to
win his business and produce parts for the Huayra that meet his breathtakingly high standards. Most of all we'll enter
the world and imagination of Pagani himself - an engaging, passionate genius who is entrenched in a pursuit of
perfection so relentless, there's a very real danger this car may never be finished.
