It"s a sunny April lunchtime at the Pagani factory just outside Modena, in northern Italy. I"m waiting in Horacio Pagani"s glass-walled office, ogling his scale models of the Gulf Porsche 917, various Paganis, and replicas of Jorge Lorenzo"s, Lewis Hamilton"s and Ayrton Senna"s racing helmets. Downstairs, Mr Pagani arrives in his striped Ferrari F12tdf, and parks it straight outside the sliding doors. He crosses the atrium, shaking hands with awestruck visitors and posing for a selfie or two with young fans making the pilgrimage to the museum, featuring a timeline of his life story and a mouth-watering collection of Zondas. After grabbing a chilled glass bottle of Coca Cola from the fridge outside his office, he shakes my hand, sits down ahead of me and gestures at Giulia, Pagani"s press manager and his translator, to begin our conversation.
