I remember when I first saw a 1:1 Huayra in the wild.  I was in my reasonably new C7 in 2015.  In my left side door mirror, I could see a low, wide automotive apparition coming from behind me in the car-pool lane.  However, it was too far away, and I couldn't quite determine what kind of car it was.  Undoubtedly, due to its low, wide stance, it was an exotic!  Heck, this is So Cal, and literally, without exception, EVERY kind of car imaginable can be seen on these roads.  Ferrari?  No.  Lamborghini?  No.  McLaren?  I don't think so.  Koenigsegg?   Possibly, but still, I couldn't tell.  I knew it was something special, so I got my camera ready to snap photos.  It wasn't until it was much closer that the mirrors gave it away!  IT'S A PAGANI!  My first-ever view of a Pagani on the road and on the move!  Cool!  I finally saw a Pagani Huayra in the wild and in its natural element!  The next day, I purchased an AUTOart in 1:18 scale.  

When this Kengfai 1:12 scale version became available, due to my already compromised display space, I told myself I didn't need a second Pagani.  Besides, the 1:18 AUTOart version was magnificent, and having a second in a larger scale made no sense!  In fact, it's the "Signature" level that AUTOart offers for some of its models.  The AUTOart Signature is not quite an Exoto level of detail, but it does put it in the category of a CMC, and as we all know, that's pretty darn good.  Still, the big Kengfai was too tempting because it increased the level of detail.  I pulled the trigger.  

Thanks for looking!

California is a car spotters dream. We never see this variety in Canada. Love your Pagani in 1/12 scale. Beautiful detail. Thanks Marty.
