It’s no secret that Pagani is working on a successor to its indomitable Zonda, yet while the bubble-canopied Zonda was an uber-exclusive low-production supercar (less than 100 have been built to date), the new car will be built in far greater volumes.

People movers don’t generally excite the senses like regular cars, in fact they don’t really excite the senses at all but that hasn’t stopped Nissan officially taking the covers off their latest concept vehicle, the Forum – one very comfortable looking people mover.

The Forum won’t do 0-100km/h in 5.0 seconds or corner like it [...]

Pagani’s Zonda has to be one of the wackiest supercars out there in standard ‘F’ trim but there is always someone who thinks that hardcore like a Zonda F just isn’t hardcore enough. An Italian-American customer of Pagani’s, who already has three Zondas, wanted a little more:
