OV9

Not sure whether I like it because it's against Pagani's recent trend of sticking stuff all over their designs or dislike it because the extension looks odd at least in pure side profile.

Might be better from a more normal angle.

And of course the price is stupid and it's not a Zonda.

The usual problem with longtails



The headlights are more Zonda-like than Huaryra, and this rear view isn't bad;



I think it strikes a good retrofuturistic balance.

I like it from the side, it’s the rear that’s a bit weird. The lights look sad and droopy.

The side view looks OK, but I can't say I like it that much. Don't really like the rear view at all and the front looks a bit like a whale shark. Much prefer the Huayra standard model or the BC.

I don't like longtails so overall it's a no from me. The sculpting of the body is rather nice though, and those alloys are divine.

Yeah, it looks a bit weird doesn't it? I definitely like bits of it though.

What's the history/origin of the "long tail" model in cars? I know I could Google it, but someone on here probably knows the story...

Rear looks ungainly. It is a no from me. I won't be placing an order.

They've done their own Speedtail and made it look ok.

I don't mind it, but it's not really exciting me either. I'll be doing something different with my £6m this time.

I like the changes they've made at the back, still hate the interior though. The nice vintage style leather just makes the silver aluminium look even cheaper, like 90s Alba stereo plastic.

It was a term first used by Porsche for aero changes they made to the 917 for Le Man iirc. Stretched the rear body work for high speed stability and lower drag for the Mulsanne straight.

yep, great wheels, everything else is uglier than the original to me.

They all tend to make me think of pish like this.

I get the aero argument, but meh.
