Scarcity and a bespoke experience are part of Pagani’s appeal, while the production figures he has cited show how the company has grown without presenting a current 2026 output number.
Why buy a Pagani instead of a Ferrari or Lamborghini?
In a 2010 interview with Quattroruote, a reader asked Pagani why someone should buy one of his cars rather than a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Pagani replied that all three marques make extraordinary cars, and that buying this kind of car is not a matter of a single logical reason. In his view, the decision is more emotional.
He described Pagani’s limited production as a draw for buyers who value exclusivity and want something like a made-to-measure suit. That is his explanation of Pagani’s appeal, not evidence that Ferrari or Lamborghini do not offer personalization. The interview does not provide a standardized comparison of price, performance, reliability or ownership costs, so it cannot establish that one marque is objectively better.
What production figures has Pagani cited?
The figures come from separate interviews and refer to different periods. They should not be read as a like-for-like annual comparison or as a current production forecast.

| Figure | What it refers to | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| 120 cars in ten years; about 20 cars per year | Pagani’s description of production at the time, in response to questions about output and the Zonda | Horacio Pagani, Quattroruote interview, 26 April 2010 |
| Around 40 cars in 2023; a target of 50 for 2024 | Pagani’s reported output for 2023 and target for 2024—not a target for 2026 | Horacio Pagani, as quoted by evo, 4 March 2025 |
| Around 500 cars since 1998, including test and development cars | An approximate cumulative estimate, with test and development vehicles included | Pagani’s estimate, reported by evo, 4 March 2025 |
In the 2025 interview, Pagani said the company wanted to preserve exclusivity rather than increase sales simply for the sake of growth: “We are happy with our level in terms of supply and demand dynamics. We don’t need to sell more cars.” The same interview described potential for future organic growth, subject to keeping supply exclusive relative to demand.
These are statements made in interviews, not audited production data. They do not establish Pagani’s annual output in 2026 or a definitive current cumulative total.

What can—and cannot—be compared with Ferrari and Lamborghini?
Pagani’s comments support a comparison of buyer motivations, not a production league table. He acknowledged Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s long, glorious histories and called their cars extraordinary. The cited interviews do not provide same-year output totals for all three manufacturers, so they cannot show how Pagani’s annual production compares directly with either rival.
- Scarcity: Pagani has described limited output and exclusivity as part of its appeal.
- Personalization: His made-to-measure-suit analogy conveys the bespoke experience he says some buyers seek; it does not establish how the other marques approach customization.
- Motivation: Pagani’s view is that choosing a car of this kind is primarily emotional, rather than a decision settled by one objective ranking.
- Brand history: Pagani explicitly recognized Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s established histories instead of dismissing them.
How Pagani’s model names fit the company’s history
Pagani Automobili says it was officially established in 1998. In the company’s 25-year history, C8 is identified as the project code for the Zonda, C9 for the Huayra and C10 for Utopia. The 2010 Quattroruote interview discussed the then-upcoming C9 project; those model-code references provide context, not evidence of current production plans.
