was not in manhattan- central coast was where this was spotted... since he flew the car in with his rolls (more than one), guessing he doesnt care about money. and he was having the car detailed by a hotel employee!!

another photo- i was told that the cars in the background are his too (mine is in the background of the first photo- not quite a rolls!)

The rims look unappealing, but it's a sick car nonetheless. Nice find.

There's a yellow one that is seen often here in So Cal. I've seen it at Supercar sunday.

I know a guy who is having one made and if he can swing the regulations will have it in So Cal too.

The number one reason is that there is no crash test data. Since there are only like 150 of them built in the whole world Mr. Pagani isn't interested in crashing one or 2. I think they probably lack other safety equipment that would make them illegal in the US (though I don't know this part for sure.) It may also not be able to pass 50 or even 47 state emissions requirements.

yeah, i wonder how this goes... a cop sees the car- how does he know to pull it over to ask if its street legal? cant imagine that they would know by looking!
my understanding is that they were going to drive the car to a car show- am guessing that if you can afford that car you can afford the ticket or fix it ticket !!
