Pagani marketing director and son of Horatio Pagani, Christopher Pagani, says the brand is continuing to work on an electric model, despite previously pausing development of the car.
Information came from Pagani last year that they had no plans to launch an electric model in the near future, citing concerns about battery technology and charging speeds. However, while speaking at the Goodwood Festival of Speed recently, Kristofer Pagani admitted that the brand remains interested in an electric car.
“We loved working on the electric car, and we’re still working on this project, so it’s not a closed chapter for us,” Pagani revealed. Christopher added that after meetings with its dealer network around the world, the Italian brand noted that “there is no interest in the (fully electric) Pagani hypercar,” but said it was a “fun project.”
Although the brand spent many years playing with the idea of an EV, it never got to the point of building a prototype and only developed it virtually. Battery weight is still a concern because, according to Christopher, Pagani models are not about “horsepower” or “top speed” but about “vehicle dynamics.”
It seems that Pagani will not venture into the world of electric vehicles until it develops something that meets its standards and brings new innovations.
