Thread: Pagani Huayra Officially Heading to US

The Yellow is isn't on a DLR tag, if you look closely, it's an MFG tag.

The silver car and the NY plate Roadster are new to me. The Euro plate car could be here on a temporary importation. We get many euro plated cars and motorcycles coming through the mountains, usually here to drive the Dragon or the Blue Ridge.

I'd really like to know how these guys are plating these cars, as they definitely are not US road legal.

Do you have any more information about these cars?

Not really......

When will dealers be getting in the Pagani's in SF?

1. Zonda S 7.0 silver/blue #760083

This was a real pain in the ass. First of all, this was the first legally! registered Zonda in the States.
According to carfax this is the only Zonda/Zonda S7.0/Zodna S7.3/Roadster S ever registered in the States.
The car was sold to Pagani Germany, or rather Bob Forstner. Here are some rather recent shot of it:



2. Zonda Roadster red/black #76044

The #76044 always got the plate for Italian citizens living in a foreign country. Apparently it's made due to financial reasons, but it has a limited time span,
as after some months the car has to be registered accordingly to the country. Hence the double plate.





3. Zonda S 7.0 red/black #76010

Not sure who exactly is owning it at the moment. Was owned by Wyclef, then sold to Dan Kennedy.



4. Zonda S 7.0 light yellow/black #76014



Well, kind of legally in the States:

The owner's primary business is in the electronics field and he has a separate company working on electric vehicle technologies. With that company he was able to establish it as a vehicle manufacturer getting all the proper credentials and such. Using that status, he's able to import any vehicle for testing purposes just the way all the major manufacturers do it. He wouldn't be able to sell the car, and I am sure there are some limitations, but it seems to have worked just fine for him for many years.

^^^Great info!

The huayara has been delayed now until 2013

Kuester you are the fucking man. It seems apexoversteer was right about a lot of things but one of the key things to remember about the united states is, anything is possible with money.

It may not be legal but if you're cousins/friends/donating money to/dating daughter/golf buddies/ etc/ with the guy who is in control of who gets in trouble for illegally imported car... you're good as long as you're not flaunting it DD

Im not saying this is the case but there are clearly laws against Zondas in the US yet as Kuester/Sir Robbins has so kindly shared with us there certainly are zondas in the US. So clearly the individuals that drive these cars are rule benders of sorts, but they are definitely doing it in style
