A few years ago, an incredible moment unfolded near the Pagani factory in San Cesario sul Panaro, Italy, and it has just recently been uploaded to our site. While out testing a Pagani Zonda 760RS prototype on the road, the car caught the eye of De Friezen Crew, who happened to be there at the right moment. The excitement from spotting this rare prototype was hard to miss, and Pagani's test driver, Davide Testi, noticed it too. He decided to turn the car around and drive back toward them, giving them a perfect opportunity to take some fantastic photos and videos.
As they were capturing the stunning Zonda, an unexpected moment added to the experience. A random Italian guy cruised by in his classic 1990 Fiat Panda and stopped to have a chat with Davide. For about three minutes, they engaged in what must have been a lively conversation, likely about their shared love for cars. Once they were done, Davide didn’t just drive away - he floored it with a dramatic powerslide, then roared off at full throttle.
Experiences like this truly feel like they can only happen in Italy - a country where car culture is a way of life. From little kids to the elderly, and even the local police, almost everyone has a soft spot for cars. Seeing a Pagani, Ferrari, Lamborghini, or any other supercar on the streets sparks excitement and admiration. It’s moments like these that highlight the unique automotive passion found in Italy.
