Good news, one-percenters: Italian supercar maker Pagani opens 5 U.S. showrooms

One might think that American million and billionaires were spoiled for choice, when it came to supercar offerings. Turns out, though, there’s been at least one major void in the American supercar market: Pagani.

Known for making some of the most stunning – and hard to pronounce – supercars in the world, Pagani prides itself not only on speed but also distinctive design. Prospective buyers needn’t look past the open gear shift linkage to see what I’m talking about.

Delightfully, Pagani has moved to correct this oversight and has announced the opening of its first-ever Stateside showrooms.

That’s right. Now horsepower hungry one-percenters can waltz into one of five brand new Pagani showrooms in the cities of San Francisco, Dallas, Greenwich, Miami, and Beverly Hills and plunk their – let’s say, “hard-earned” – cash down for a Huayra or Zonda.

It’s not a bad move for the firm either. Pagani is allocating 40 percent of its production to the U.S. market. With that kind of force behind the new North American market, it makes you wonder what took Pagani so long to cross the pond.

Either way, this is a happy day for us bespoke supercar fans. I mean, the number of carbon fiber Italian hypercars with belt buckle-style glove box clasps was wildly lacking.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.

We’re finally getting to the fun part of automakers’ methodical quest to replicate their lineups with electric cars.
