just watched the video from 11.13.2005 = 07x01

"It's named after an Italian racing driver, the company that built it is owned by a Dutchman, and it has a German engine...."

But it is engineered and put together in Britain.... god that's complicated.

Well everyone considers Paganis to be Italian. Even though the owner is Argentinan, the Zonda is a tribute to an Argentinian and the Engine is from Germany...
