After I lived the Bushears, my eyes always draw down to any heightened flag-waving nationalism. Although you may have just seen a new one Pagani Huayra R, I immediately noticed a larger Italian flag on the side.
Here is an original C12 S roadster. If you look at the original pagans, you see exactly no Italian flags on it. Why did it not need an Italian flag to let you know it was Italian? Because it’s a bright yellow supercar that stands about half an inch off the ground with a V12 behind the seats. The whole car is adequate, because yes, it’s Italian.
Pagani is about the most Italian car company out there and runs demo runs in the side street behind the factory. It can no longer be Italian, even though the founder was born in Argentina.

The first Pagani I found with an Italian flag on it was the 2009 Zonda Cinque. Can you spot the flags? They are just there, on the amazing fine side mirrors.
The most direct was of course the Zonda Tricolore, which was both named for the flag itself and the Italian version of the Blue Angels, which also goes by the name.
Even that car, named after the flag itself, did not have such a red-white-green scheme as this new Huayra R. Look at this big flag! There is even a flag color scheme on the distributor.
The additional comedy is that in addition to being an R sequel for the Huayra to the Zonda, it also made a new Huayra Tricolore. At first glance, it seems like we even have less flag as before. But then you look again and!
There’s an even bigger flag on the side! The flags refuse to get smaller. I can understand that America will never return to a state if we do not have one hundred foot high flags at every car dealer, but Pagani?
