Five alive: we drive the Pagani Codalunga

Published:04 March 2024

The mercury is hovering around low single figures, wet asphalt and November gloom conspiring to keep tyre temperature well below optimum. The narrow Italian road, 1.5 car width’s wide, snakes ahead. Or at least I imagine it does, because the mist is so heavy and cloying that visibility is reduced to mere metres. The tarmac beneath the wheels is no treacle-smooth race track – instead it harbours nasty off-camber sections and hidden fractures, both lying in wait to spit an errant wheel into the gutter.

And our chosen wheels for this delightful setting? The one-of-five Pagani Codalunga, six million quid’s worth of hand-built beauty. 829 bhp, rear-wheel drive, bi-turbo V12 and enough bespoke carbon fibre to make an F1 team blush.

At a glance
Pros: Stunning looks, bespoke craftsmanship, art with a V12 in the back
Cons: Logic

What’s new?
The company operates under a mantra of ‘our customer is our work-giver’, with owner Horacio Pagani himself under no illusions as to how vital they are: ‘They are our number one asset. We have a very direct relationship to them and they enjoy that the story [of Pagani] is real.’

Continues.
