When you’re rich and well connected, and you love Pagani supercars more than anything, you are in a position to have them mounted as room dividers in your condo, if you so desire.
Pablo Perez Companc is an Argentinian race driver who also happens to be the son of the country’s wealthiest man. He is also friends with founder Horacio Pagani, so a few years ago, he came up with the idea of using one of the Pagani cars as an art installation.
Before you cry sacrilege, don’t. The car mounted in his Miami condo that serves as a living room divider isn’t an actual Pagani car, though it still came from their factory. As Companc says himself on his Instagram, where he’s boasting of his impressive art installation, he would never do that to his Zonda Revolucion Black Minion.
Companc already owns an actual Zonda Revolucion and the rare Huayra BC, so he knows the worth of these supercars. He would never ruin one just so he could have it mounted in his apartment.
“There is a lot of talk about the Zonda that I have in my house. First of all, it's not my Zonda Revolution Black Minion. This is just a work of art. Structurally will never be able to receive an engine or the entire mechanical part. I would never condemn Black Minion to being locked in a living room. Race cars are for driving,” Companc writes on social media.
The car in his condo is just an empty chassis. Still, getting it meant using his Pagani connection. Getting it inside the condo was just as tricky, since he didn’t want to cut it into pieces.
So, the carbon fiber shell was brought up via crane, on the outside of the building and brought inside through the wide balcony doors. Once inside, it was rotated in a vertical position and fixed in a custom-made stand of aluminum and carbon fiber, and it now serves as a living room divider.
Companc also owns a signed and bespoke miniature Pagani model, which costs upwards of $13,000.
