HK Exotics spotting

That Zonda R is quite amazing isn't it! That's a brilliant shot considering it was taken through glass!

A couple of cars from out roads.

Not a supercar, but I've always thought these are pretty quirky and they do put out supercar numbers:



Couple of Porkers:





Interesting camber going on there:


A couple more from Sunday breakfast





And this, just because you don't see them much!



Anyone planning on going out to TMT this Sunday?

 

Okay, so now I have seen it in the metal I can comment on it's looks - and in my humble opinion it looks fabulous. Way better than it does in the photos.Not sold on this colour but the details abound and the size and shape give it a lot of presence. Pleasantly surprised! The chap with the car (politely) said I couldn't take a photograph of it when I asked (don't get me started), but fortunately I'd already taken these... He said this is the IMSS demonstrator.

Nice shot RWP! Be frank FF is really growing on me, looks great in that red

Feeling mutual. Don't pre-judge. The car has many many goods and merits. The interior on the demo has sumptuous leather seats. Great color and feel. It is not gonna be as rapid as the 458 but it has many other good merits. I like it. The front has a lot of presence. Really good.

 

Lovely car

 

Disagree. On real roads the FF will leave the 458 for dead. I drove the FF around the hills outside of Maranello and was staggered by the sheer pace. The 599 replacement will have a lot of FF tech and I am sure it will be even more insane. 458 is already 2+ years old tech wise and that is a lifetime at the current rate of advance

 

Just saw some new pics of the orange Zonda F...

 

What a pity. Is that the same car posted above on SMDs? It resembles the car that was parked outside D&G with the 458 in Yellow one evening.

Let's hope it can be fixed.

 

Agree. 2+ years tech. You would have a more professional view with your experience. The 599 replacement will be quite a masterpiece. How would you think it would stack up against the Aventador (despite different engine placement and setup). I think you are also very right that in current times, cars' product cycle is getting shorter and shorter. People like novelties. With that said, I wonder if MP4-12c will act as a catalyst for Ferrari to change course and roll out 458 Scuderia equivalent version as upgrade which was once declined by the chairman.

 

Almost definitely the same car...

 

It is the same car, and the worst bit is that the car has only got 3rd party insurance.

For more detail, please see apple daily tomorrow.

Good luck to mr. Shum.

Thankfully the driver wasn't injured in the accident and reports at the scene are that the car isn't a complete write-off and should make a full recovery after investing in some serious repair work.

Let's hope the car is back up and running in no time.

I drive my car daily, so I just pray nothing like this happens and I do buy comprehensive despite I understand most supercar owners would pass on comprehensive due to the 10% high deductible.

 

Read it. Was it a misquote the car was bought in 2010 for 2.65 million? I haven't any idea how much these transact in second hand market. Regardless, let's hope it will be fixed after shipping back to Pagani at minimal charge.

 

Doubt it can be fixed as most of the parts are made of carbon fiber.

 

Indeed the quote has to be wrong! It shows how reliable news reports are these days, especially appledaily.

 

Actually I wonder if this is done purposely as I highly doubt the owner would want to expose himself for owning a EUR1mio+ car.

 

Well, if there're enough money thrown at it, then I'm sure it can be fixed. Moreover, if there's indeed no comprehensive insurance coverage on that car, then there isn't really an element of insurance company deciding whether this will be write-off or not isn't it?

 

Carbon fibre is very black and white - it cannot be repaired. Pagani will simply manufacture new parts and the car will be good as new. Not like repairing an aluminum Ferrari where metal fatigue is a concern. Danger is where a carbon fibre car is "repaired" by an outside shop. This car will go back to Pagani and will be better than new but at huge cost

 

New 360 owner here from Hong Kong, please PM me if you are also in Hong Kong! Thanks!

you think its worth to fix it? maybe he would just get rid of it and get another! If he is getting rid of it, i would be keen on it. Pagandi would deff build another cf for it like what DM18 said.

 

Beautiful triplets on many of them. The Murc is a classic especially the front lights in NON LED style which provides a sharp contrasts to Aventador. The Avenatdor has a very modern and updated look with new LED treatments front and rear especially with the rectangular exhaust. It has a very sci-fi element to it. Great catch on the Murc triplets.
