Founder of Pagani Automobili - about stylish and "smart" tires Pirelli

The founder of Pagani Automobili Horatio Pagani told about the "being in touch", the manifestation of his individuality, his ability to dream and feel the ground under his feet.

Most recently, Pirelli, the leader in the production of premium tires, demonstrated at the Geneva Motor Show two innovations capable of revolutionizing the tire market: the Pirelli Connesso system, allowing the tire to "talk" with the driver via a mobile application, and the first collection of color tires (primary colors : Yellow, red, white and silver).

As in past motor shows, most flagship models and concept cars were shod in Pirelli tires, specially created by the company individually for each car. An exception was not the novelty from Pagani - Pagani Huayra Roadster.

During the presentation of the new supercar Horacio Pagani, the founder of the automobile company Pagani Automobili, spoke about his new creation and shared his impressions of two innovations Pirelli - color tires and the Pirelli Connesso system.

According to the automaker, Pagani has made a definite breakthrough - the new supercar has become lighter by 80 kilograms, compared to the previous Huayra Coupé, due to the use of new and very light composite materials.

Horatio, your new Huayra is shod in the colored P Zero, also presented at this auto show. How do you like them?

"I think that in white the tires are great. Pirelli allowed every car owner to customize their tires and thus stand out from the crowd, to show their individuality. Pirelli tires combine high technology and advanced design, which emphasizes the new stylish color P Zero. "

Another important thing is that the world's automakers together with Pirelli are now "in touch" with the road (Pirelli Connesso). How do you think, is it important to "feel" the roadway while driving?

"Pirelli has done an incredibly difficult job, adjusting the driver's dialogue with its tires. Ideally, the car should always be designed in conjunction with its future owner, and when the driver is behind the wheel, he should know that the tire feels right now, at this time. The work of automotive engineers is completed with wheel discs, and then they begin to create "shoe masters" Pirelli, who know their business. "

What does it mean for you to be "in touch" in your daily life?

"It means feeling the ground under your feet. "Fly in the clouds" is priceless, but the time comes when your feet should stand firmly on the ground to make the right decisions and confident "grip on the road." Dreams, carelessness and curiosity help to come to the realization that the moment is momentous, but in order to move forward, we need high accuracy, discipline and self-control. "

What does it mean for you to "keep in touch" with the road as a businessman?

"This is the most difficult thing: you must have a real sense of responsibility. In Pagani we encourage teamwork, we give an opportunity to everyone who wants to share their ideas, because everyone needs to encourage their inventiveness and initiative. We want to achieve in the company a certain "smooth ride while driving."

Do you have a habit of "being in touch"?

"This is how to look. Pragmaticity in life is one of the key qualities. I often imagine that my life is a big apartment building. When the door of one apartment closes behind my back, I forget about it and switch to a new one, inspired and with a smile on my face I move forward. By the way, music inspires me very much, and I sometimes take music breaks during the day, close my eyes and scroll in my head the project that we want to create. "

Pirelli has been cooperating with the Pagani brand for a long time, creating for it a homologated model of P Zero Corsa, and in the case of the new Pagani Huayra Roadster, Horatio Pagani himself took part in the development of tires.
