Pagani Rinascimento: How Pagani Automobili is enhancing the value of hypercars over time

PAGANI AUTOMOBILI ATTENDS 2022 CHANTILLY ARTS & ELEGANCE WITH PAGANI OFFICINA, A SERIES OF PROGRAMMES AND SERVICES DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE VALUE OF HYPERCARS OVER TIME.

Pagani Rinascimento is a restoration programme designed to restore every Pagani vehicle to their original glory. Thanks to the dedicated handiwork of the specialist artisans who work in this section of the Pagani atelier, which is exclusively dedicated to the programme, every detail is treated with the utmost precision, using original drawings and materials. A thorough service, involving mechanical parts, body, interiors, and all worn parts, restoring the vehicle’s appearance and function to mint condition. Not a single nut or bolt is overlooked in this restoration work: every component, however small, is dealt with to restore that perfect combination of art and technology, and to reawaken all the excitement and the unique experience of beauty, like a tailor-made outfit.

Representing the values of Pagani Rinascimento, better than any words could, in Chantilly (France) was Zonda S, with its aggressive, powerful lines combined with an unexpected level of interior comfort.

Pagani Unico

Pagani Automobili is famous in the automotive sector for offering one of the most immersive customisation experiences for its customers, providing countless possibilities to personalize a vehicle.

With the Unico programme, created a few years ago, Pagani wanted to offer the same experience to customers who buy a used Huayra or Zonda. With this programme, an existing chassis can be completely customized, to create something unique and very personal for the new owner.

This programme has proven to be a valuable investment, since the value of updated cars increases significantly, reaching similar prices to those for unique models.

As with the Rinascimento programme, a dedicated team will analyze and inspect every single component, updating it according to the new configuration defined by the client and the Pagani Design team. Whereas the Rinascimento programme is aimed at ensuring the vehicle remains as faithful as possible to the original specifications, the Unico programme allows customers to improve and personalize their car’s design and technical characteristics.

The rebuilding process is conducted in accordance with the rigorous Pagani Automobili quality standards, ensuring that the update is fully reversible, allowing the car to be restored to the original specifications.

Demonstrating this programme, a Huayra Coupé 760 VR was on display at 2022 Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille.

A great day at Château de Chantilly: DS E-TENSE PERFORMANCE wins Prix de l’Innovation at Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille

DS Automobiles took part in the most prestigious Concours d’Élégance organised in France. Already among the award winners in 2016 with DS E-TENSE and Eymeric François, the brand returned with DS E-TENSE PERFORMANCE and a design by Nicha.

DS E-TENSE PERFORMANCE AT THE CONCOURS D’ÉLÉGANCE

Designed as a high-performance laboratory, DS E-TENSE PERFORMANCE was created by DS PERFORMANCE after winning two Drivers’ and two Teams’ titles in the Formula E championship. DS E-TENSE PERFORMANCE is based on a carbon monocoque, two 600 kW (815 horsepower) electric power units and a four-wheel drive transmission.

The front reveals a new area for expression in place of the grille. This treatment shows the DS Automobiles logo in a three-dimensional effect – like a display case – with a special welcome sequence. On both sides, the new daytime running lights combine flair and technology with unprecedented finesse to give a wide span to the lighting. The combination is made up of 800 LEDs. Two cameras positioned instead of headlamps finish off DS E-TENSE PERFORMANCE’s visual identity, while enabling the acquisition of useful data for this moving laboratory.

Supporting the aerodynamic lines, the bodywork showcases a beetle-effect interference colour. Depending on exterior conditions and viewing angle, the sense of colour develops and produces a striking contrasting effect with the gloss black surfaces that extend to the bonnet. The 20-inch wheels feature an aerodynamic profile with unique inserts.The cockpit errs on the side of efficiency. Bucket seats and a Formula E steering wheel give a high-performance feeling.

Comfort and attention to detail are also taken into account with the special black leather upholstery insert.

The drivetrain is made up of two electric motors with a total power of 600 kW (250 kW at the front and 350kW at the rear) corresponding to 815 horsepower and 8,000 Nm of torque to the wheels. Derived directly from DS PERFORMANCE developments in Formula E, these two motors demonstrate exceptional efficiency.
