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.

Self-driving cars keep getting in the way of first responders, and Uncle Sam just ran out of patience
Robotaxis are supposed to make roads safer, but first responders say they're becoming a real problem.
Waymo Jaguar I-PACE sensors close up

Self-driving cars are supposed to make our roads safer, but it seems that they are  doing the opposite. NHTSA administrator Jonathan Morrison sent a letter to autonomous vehicle developers this week, and he didn't hold back. He called the pattern of driverless cars getting in the way of first responders "unacceptable," and said a car that can't safely handle an emergency scene is a danger to everyone around it.

What's actually going wrong?

Xiaomi built an SUV that doubles as a camping tent, and its range numbers are equally wild
A pop-up camping roof, 300 miles of electric range, and a gas extender for when the tent life takes you somewhere the grid hasn't reached yet.
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

Xiaomi went from selling smartphones to making profitable electric cars and turned profitable in just two years, a feat that took Tesla a decade. 

Now, the automaker has unveiled a whole new EV sub-brand called Sky Nomad; it’s answer to the outdoor and family lifestyle market. What’s even more interesting is the lineup’s first vehicle could come with a built-in retractable roof that literally pops up into a camping tent.
