Wonder how that happened.
Narrow straight street.
But the car seemed to be rotating clock-wise, wit hate impact starting at the driver side rear quarter panel and continue.
Wonder if the car was doing a right turn, spin out and clip one of the trees in the middle and rip every out the back. But then if the impact is that way, the reaction would makes the car spin the other way.
Whoopsy:Wonder how that happened.

Strange indeed, and seems like a pretty hard hit to cause all that damage.
Whoopsy:Italo:do you think its repairable
Off course it is.
The tub is fine, just some rear bodywork. Plus some suspension and engine bits.
Not gonna be cheap but yeah it can be make new again.
No so sure about that - if you look at the join between the passenger compartment and rear section it appears to be warped from the impact. I would worry that mounting points for the subframe and other rear components to the tub itself may have been sheared from the collision. I'm not an expert on these matters but I would guess repairing mounting points in the carbon of the tub itself would be difficult.

If parts integrated into the tub are damaged then the tub is just a very large and very expensive memento.

In a properly designed and engineered mid engine car, the bolts joining the rear sub frame and the passenger tub, be it carbon fibre or aluminum, will be the weakest link, it will be broken first before damage is done to the tub mount.
Horacio has been with mid engine cars all his life, surely he knows that and design that right it.
I guess the car's tail swing left, either from nailing the gas on a straight line, or doing a right turn, hit the parked car, ripped the driver side rear off, and because of the stuff getting ripped off, nothing solid to bounce it back to fish tail the other way, and it continued the right turn trajectory and stopped there.

The "typical" super or hyper sports car accident...
Sad...

To me the Pagani is the ulitmate car porn machine. There is nothing more stylish, more adorable on 4 wheels available. I don't care if it is the fastest or not, I don't care if has the highest performance numbers or not. But this thing is ultra sexy and I love every little detail on it. Period!
Looks brilliant! The Huayra design has evolved nicely, the first ones looked horrid in my opinion, this looks incredible.
Same with the Zonda, first ones were horrible and the Zonda F became a natural beauty.

The exterior design is basically perfect, I agree. The interior? Not my thing, a bit too "plush" for my taste.
Also, I wish Pagani could get rid of that AMG logo on the engine, it kind of devalues the car, as weird as this may sound.

Not possible
AMG engines have improved a lot, maybe Porsche can send some of their engineers to get educated about reliability, performance and durability all in one package
