This Might the Only Way You’ll Ever Own a Pagani Utopia

You'll just have to build it yourself.

Pagani’s are expensive, and for good reason. The level of craftsmanship and detail, paired with the low production numbers, creates something closer to a work of art than a mode of transportation. And now you have a chance to own one, provided you’re willing to spend 30-plus hours putting together a detailed 1:8-scale model of the Utopia.

The kit is the result of a collaboration between Pagani and Pocher, an Italian model maker that's part of Hornby Hobbies. The car measures 22.76 inches long, 11.5 inches wide, and 5.83 inches high when built, which will take well over a day to complete, according to the company. All together, it weighs 17.6 pounds.

What do you think?

The 1:8-scale Utopia features over 556 individual parts and more than 200 screws, which Pocher says are made from “premium materials.” It has metal body parts, and rubber tires, as well as functioning doors, steering, and suspension. You can’t peek at the Utopia’s V-12 engine, however, and you'll have to make your own engine noises

The model, which is available in the car’s launch color—Rinascimento Lucido, isn’t cheap. But it's a steal compared to a real Pagani, costing £879.99 ($1,190.95 at today’s exchange rate). The 138-page manual is available online as a three-part PDF, or you can buy a physical version for £14.99 ($20.29). Porcher is running a deal right now where you can buy the kit and a display case for £999.99 ($1,353.04).
