i love the daddy abandonment issues creeping into just about all of james' videos....
They are a little on the nose dont you think?
He is really hurt 💔about it, that his freaking dad leave them to earn for themselves he was still a child 👶 during tht time maybe
It makes me laugh, even though it shouldn't 🤣
I am happy he is doing fine in life.
1 year already! Love this!
I almost died when you said worlds fastest fire truck
i hope you're ok now
@@gokulkrishnan2690 So much better now !
@@javierweatherspoon4313 glad to hear it
I like the vibe in the replies
RIP
AMG: how many engines d'you want? PAGANI: yes
AMG: How loud do you want it? Pagani: *Y E S* So loud that it gets banned from tracks
@@eun5oo280 ya dude
Crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
More like how many variants
@@eun5oo280 It's pretty dumb that people complaining the cars on the race tracks for being too loud. Which pretty much like saying "oh this beer has an alcohol in it" or "oh this sugar is too sweet". The Nürburgring is pretty much one of the oldest race tracks in the world! It's been there since (probably) our grandads were still a kid or might not even born yet. And saying "this race tracks has so many loud cars, you have to close this" just because you lived just couple kilos (or miles) is pretty much arrogant and stupid. Like c'mon it's your fault who lived near the RACE track where pretty much lot of LOUD HEAD BANGING RACE CARS speeding around and pops flames. Why don't they just move out of the place and search for another "peaceful" place instead of whining about how loud the cars on the race tracks? Again, it's stupid and very arrogant yet so selfish in my opinion.
Auto subtitles: “Shift years in 20 milliseconds” Pagani zonda r is a time machine Confirmed by subtitles
I demand a Back to the Future remake using the Zonda R instead of a DeLorean
"World's fastest fire truck!" - damn that was good 🤣
He's lucky to have a friend like Fangio, the wind beneat his wing.
Of course, but he won himself that friend. It's not like Fangio was a friend of the family. His achievements in regional and national leagues were what got him to meet Fangio, and then making friends with him is a whole other deal. Knowing this dude, mayne even without Fangio's help he would've reach really far anyway.
As an argentinian, my chest fills with pride every time I hear people talking about Fangio and Pagani. Beautiful episode guys!!
Argentino everything fills you people with pride I swear. But guess what. My country, Brazil, has a better economy, better women, better food, and of course, a far superior football team. Maradona nunca vai ser melhor do Pelé. FORÇA BRASIL CARALHO🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@@steroidbaggins2936 Bait
Bro everyone knows you guys smoke 20 kg of crack a second in Brazil stop acting better
Why do you have pride about Pagani, when they are italian cars.
@@BruceKent00 because Horacio Pagani was born in a small town in the middle of nowhere, and got to where he is, it gives me hope that anyone can do whatever they dream no matter where they come from.
His custom Countach looks like a sport version of the Cybertruck, Cybersport
Nice OBSERVATION! I can't look at it the same way again
Ahh i also saw it as a hypercar version of the Delorean
Pagani: "Hey guys, I got a uhhh a cool race car out there, it uhh just needs an engine and it'll be good to go." Renault: "Now, who are you?"
The fact this comment is edited but is missing a end quotation mark on Renaults line is bothering me way too much. This comments 2 years old why is this bothering me.
@@grabe1890 wow, you made me remember that I used to watch donut media a lot, and I fixed the quotation error for you.
@@yaboidilan218 now that's what heroes do
@@yaboidilan218 hello, here is your yearli reminder to watch donut media
Wow I never knew Pagani was Argentinian , not even that , but he spent a great deal of his life close to where I grew up 🇦🇷
Hay algo referenciando a Pagani por ahi cerca?
🇮🇹🇮🇹
It's Italian but he was born in Argentina
Mo Ali he was born in argentina and lived in argentina until hi was an adult, so yeah, he is very much an argentinian
@@arturoidoyagamolina5109 lmao thanks for the info
Met horacio pagani in Monterey car week 2019. Also met Dennis Rodman there. Yes I’m bragging
I met Horacio too
Congrats
Does anyone else think Horacio Pagani is handsome? He looks so much better then I thought...
I sat in a 458
The Huayra literally has control surfaces like a weapons platform. That is nuts and incredibly ingenious.
One of your best videos of Up to Speed. I didn’t know Pagani was an Argentinian. Glad, he never quit. I’m also glad you all never quit making videos. I am excited to see what’s next.
I first time knew Pagani cars since I read a book that tells about fast cars (it was published during 2002 and it is from UK), and in that book, Horacio Pagani mentioned as Argentinian.
@Govin Lock, That must have been a cool find. Did you enjoy reading it?
@@WarriorsPhoto yes man, from that book, I know some cars that not regularly appear in video games such as Bugatti EB110, Jaguar XJ220 and TVR Tuscan.
Govin Lock Wow! Those are 3 amazing exotics that deserve way more credit than they get. Good man for sharing! What’s your favorite car?
... no more up to speed😭😭😭
As a descendant of an Argentine, you guys did one helluva job underlining the Argentine influence and connection with regards to the company. Many people associate Pagani as an Italian car, but forget about it’s Argentine roots. Similar to DeTomaso’s Pantera. Thanks!
This is the only exotic car company I know of from Latin America. 🤔
he is from Argentina the company is Italian
The cars are Italian, built in Italy. Are you that stupid to believe that these are Argentine card
Yes but Horacio had Italian origins...It's all italian blood mate💪🏻🇮🇹
Mario that does not have sense. Almost half of people who live in Argentina have italian roots. That does not mean I’m Italian
11:34 I have never laughed so hard at someone's pain before
The moral of the story is *PAGANI IS. A FIBER FAN*
Face Palm... Nah, It's persistence and teamwork make the dream work.
I still remember how excited I was when I unlocked the Zonda on Grand Tourismo on the PS2, I almost missed out on the extra herrrsspwers from doing an oil change before driving it.
I unlocked one in a Need For Speed (Shift, I think?) and I also got super excited. That machine was damn fast. And loud.
I unlocked it on test drive unlimited 2 and took it on a cruise around ibiza
The Zonda was awesome, it was the fastest street legal car in Gran Turismo 3, making almost 1200 HP fully tuned!
@@Gojira_uz TVR Cerbera Speed 12? Though that thing was an undrivable POS compared to the Zonda.
@@Idiomatick the Speed 12 is cool and all, but not faster than the Zonda both in a straight line and around corners sometimes.
Pumphrey shouting about Argentina is everything I never knew I needed
Te juro..
falta que tome mate(?)
15:00 “that’s a Nolan line” 😂😂 love this man
From 🇦🇷 to the world, absolutely a masterclass
Zonda Tricolore is actually made in honor of Italian Air Force aerobatic team. Tricolore refers to Italian flag. Mechanically they are similar to Cinque and outside the difference is a small aircraft wing near the engine cover as a nod to Aerobatic team.
all the different Zondas are a Zonda with basically the same mechanics: they just add some body kit, give them colors and they name something to justify an higher price... the same for the several Huayras.... and Bugattis...
@@kskdtrAll cars have the same mechanics.

Pagani video! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!! "He who doesn't use oil shall perish from low compression." Internals 8.7:1

The story of Pagani early days in Lamborghini is even sadder. While Lamborghini love to hire him, they don't have empty spot and he volunteer to take any job and he start his job as a sweeper in Lamborghini.

Aww yiss new up to speed episode
I was so amazed and clicked then got put off by the super annoying presenter. Just here to leave this comment, goodbye
Dude I love your videos, KZhead finally got my recommendations right
I fell more in love with the Pagani and its history. Thank you for that. One day I’ll have my own and hopefully be on your show.
This guy must be doing a line of coke before every video 😂
dohc1974 I’d say so myself if I didn’t know he recently had a heart attack
I think he is a Pepsi guy. Who knows.
AwtZ zzZzZz Lmao
@@awtzzzzzzz2151 he should get Bang to sponsor him with his energy level
Nah, he's just hype. His face does look red in his videos lately, so I'd bet he's a drinker... maybe he thumb guns a Four Loko or two before each vid
If I had the money to buy a super car, or heck, a hyper car, I wouldn't choose a Lambo, or a Ferrari, or any other of the biggest names in that territory. I'd go straight for a Pagani. The amount of passion, elegance, beauty, and straight power these beasts are given is nothing short of brilliance. I actually had the pleasure of seeing of these on the streets once. I heard her roaring blocks away. And I've got to say, it only reinforced my love for both the brand and cars in general. It truly is a company that makes nothing short of amazing creations that all the other Italian brands have lost. This is what stands out in a world of many others...
Chase you're dreams. You can get it.
Yes! Pagani or Koenigsegg! Id be just as happy with either tbh. (this coming from an italian btw lol)
Not to divert from Pagani, but does anyone remember Spyker? Weird ass cars, but damn they were cool.
@Centipede 8: I remember Spyker. They have a similar sensibility. Their interiors are just a inspired as what Pagani does. They'd go well together.
I do! I remember Spyker from like some Forza game.. Probably Motorsport 4. Definitely like those though
i can’t stop watching this channel THIS IS SO GOOD
Glad I watched this. Mad respect to this man.
World's fastest firetruck XD Haven't laughed that hard in a while
Lol as that part came up I saw this
This is definitely one of those feel good success stories that make you feel like you can achieve just about anything 👍🏽 Except have a decent dad
Or own a pagani
You got one of the best info car channels period. Good job on the videos.. good luck with all of it and your career I been benge watching your videos since yesterday lol
I'm South American (Brazilian) and never knew that Pagani was Argentinian... What a Man, never gave up on his dream...
one more thing to add to this was that , the amg motor in the huayra has its seperate engine code , which amg never does with anyone this the first time
14:02 "Mathboy knows what math does" Me when I successfully complete any math
Same
you guys are amazing; you treat these high selective items like it’s dope, thank you
fun fact: the huayra's twin-turbo uses a single cam, 3 valves per cylinder system
"This Dude is becoming Italian" delivery is priceless.
James knows a little thing or two about hosting. The dudes set for a great career dude. This YT channel is his CV haha
This episode was enthralling and Pagani is my new hero. Holy shit the balls and determination on the guy. You have to admire it.
I have watched this twice very enjoyable and entertaining thank you very much
James you and Nolan are the 2 raddest dorks I’ve ever seen you both are the reason I subscribed to Donut. Keep doing what you’re doing and know that you’ve got a huge fan out there not just because of your knowledge but because of the ways you get it out there you guys are like two 10 year old car genius and I love it. Thanks keep doing what you do.

You guys are making such a great job... I've learned more about cars (technically and historically) from you than in any other channel in the past 2 years! I only wonder why your subtitles are not covering Spanish and Portuguese, so that we can share your knowledge with more people! Being and argentinean myself, I feel honoured not only that we had men you've mentioned like Pagani, De Tomaso (also argentinean by the way) or Fangio, but how carefully you looked up for all details... CONGRATS! And THANKS!

agreed..so nice id be scared to sit in it...spyker however looks really nice untill. u look real close ..inside looks cheaply made..but i would still love to have one.
Your vedio are full of knowledge and at the same time you never get bored while see them, thank you very much sir for amazing content about p'gni 😅 , love from India 🇮🇳✌🙌
Great Video man, great gesture by Fangio too.
As an argentinian-born in Santa Fe fan of Donut, I've been waiting so long for this. I'm really happy for how you explained and made clear all the work Horacio Pagani did here in the beggining of his career. He's the result of many petrolheads' dream from this country, and if you ask any, we are very proud to say Horacio made it all the way up. I personally wish one day I get a job in Pagani, even as a janitor like Horacio said to Giulio Alfieri. Keep it up Donut. A big hug from the south of the world! P.s: if you love Pagani, you might wanna check out the story of the IKA Torino and his developer, Oreste Berta. Horacio's second hero.
Except that Pagani the company isn't based in Argentina... It's an insanely anti-business place in terms of legislation and taxes. Aka, you need to escape the 3rd world inflation hell-hole that is modern Argentina if you ever want to have even a CHANCE of making your dream a reality. Good luck. 🤷
@@Cooe.Everyone knows that, retard
This is one of the best/entertaining videos ever and I don’t know anything about cars 😅
That's good
I have a newfound respect for Pagani. What a legend
14:24 omg that yellow Huayra is the first Pagani I ever saw 😍😍😍
Really appreciate the amount of research you guys put into these videos, not to mention, James' genuine excitement in each of them. Also, shoutout to the editors. You guys are the real MVPs!
The dad and Jessica jokes are the whole reason I watch these videos 😂. Jk Donut keep up the good work 👍 Up to Speed on Hyundai Genesis Coupe?
That's an interesting one I literally couldn't find anything about the conception of it
The zonda cinque will forever be my favorite Pagani, and I want one so bad
This guy turns every car documentary into a epic bro talk and so motivation
Had the chance to meet the man in person as a kid and even talk to him when he presented the first Zonda in Argentina. Such a nice and humble guy, I am happy to see donut covering an episode on this legend.
The 25th Anniversary Countach actually was a last minute idea because Diablo was supposed to be the car to celebrate Lamborghini birthday, but it wasn't ready. The 25th Anniversary desgn isn't for everyone but it cured Countach long running heat issue.

I remember Pagani vehicles getting referenced on Top Gear (UK) for many years. I didn’t give it much thought. Over here in the states, most gearheads (including myself) are very ignorant to the brand, its history and its offerings. So personally, this video was awesome and informative as a car fanatic! Big love for James, Nolan and the DM Crew. ✌️ 🇺🇸

Argentines dont make these cars, they are made in Italy by Italians
@@BruceKent00 not EVERYONE in Italy is Italian you dumb fuck
@@BruceKent00 Thats like saying that iphones are chinese. Italians are only the workers but the actual brain and design is argentinian.
@@josegabra 🤣🤣🤣🤣 your comparison is hilarous. Iphones are made by Apple which is a company from the USA and makes their iphones in China simply to save costs. PAGANI is a registerd Italian company that makes their cars in Italy, so your comparison to Iphone is truly dumb. Horaccio knows that all the technology, infrastructure, knowledge and resources to build supercars are either in Italy, Germany or the UK. Why do you think Pagani Automobili is located near Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Ducati ? Because he knows this is where the knowledge and resources to build supercars and superbikes exist. Horaccio knows he would not have a hope in the world of building supercars in Argentina, not a chance in hell 🤣🤣🤣 but if Horaccio ever needs to breed donkeys, then 100% Argentina would the place to do so 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@josegabra yes, but Horacio is of Italian ancestry, but yeah his nationality was Argentine, but this isn't a topic of debate, we Italians, Spanish and Argentines should be close and be proud of the company that is more of a joint effort
