Among the very few new supercar brands that have successfully managed to challenge the establishment and the likes of traditional sports car builders such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bugatti, is Pagani Automobile.

The company that was founded in San Cesario sul Panaro, near Modena in Italy, in 1992 by Horacio Pagani, launched its first model, the V12-powered Zonda, to critical acclaim in 1999.

The Zonda remained in production until 2011 when Pagani presented it’s second model, the Huayra at last year’s Geneva Motor Show.

In the video documentary that follows after the jump, you can watch how the Huayra came to be and what it takes to build one.
