Being a test driver for a renowned sports car manufacturer is probably the No1 dream job among car enthusiasts, but very few are good and lucky enough to make their dream come true.

Davide Testi is one of them, as the Italian has been working for Pagani Automobili since he graduated from Ferrari’s mechanical school. But don’t think that Horacio Pagani put him in one of his cars right away. Testi had to start with lesser jobs at the factory and was only allowed behind the wheel of a Pagani after two years of work.

When he first drove the Pagani Zonda, he had to do it with Horacio Pagani in the passenger seat, so understandably he was quite nervous. But everything went well and since then he has been driving Pagani supercars for a living. Not bad, right? Scroll down to hear his story from /Drive’s latest video.
