AMG, Bosch, and other tier one suppliers assure technological excellence. if the company’s philosophy is to meld art and technology, Pagani cars also represent a path not taken by other supercar manufacturers, a path more analog, less electronic. “We always have one philosophy: art and science,” says Christopher Pagani.
