For reasons that are frankly rather straightforward, a supercar collector with a penchant for Paganis has driven two of his toys right into the Hungarian State Opera House.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the proof. And no, it\u2019s no AI-generated, rendered, or in any way made up: those really are two jaw-droppingly exquisite, handcrafted machines capable of mellifluous V12 symphonies sitting inside a place designed specifically to house such wondrous noise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 klJNAL\">\n<p>The wealthy owner, clearly a lightly enthusiastic fan of Horacio&#8217;s handywork, boasts one of the biggest collections of Paganis\u2026 in the world. Think of any limited-run model of the last decade and he&#8217;s probably got it.<\/p>\n<p>Like the two you see here. The carbon fibre one\u2019s a Zonda 760 RS \u2013 the first of that limited series \u2013 while the silver one\u2019s a Zonda 760 Roadster that bookends the line by being the last. Both of course, are powered by AMG\u2019s monster 7.3-litre V12 churning out 760bhp. Imagine having box seats for that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 klJNAL\">\n<p>Ah yes, \u2018reasons\u2019. It really is straightforward: Paganis are \u201clike pieces of art\u201d, and so why not stage two of Horacio\u2019s most beautiful creations inside a beautiful old building steeped in history and built for sound? Essentially, it&#8217;s &#8216;why the heck not&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photography: Mark Riccioni<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 klJNAL\">\n<div class=\"media media--type-image\">\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/media_embed\/public\/2026\/09\/DSC07641-light.jpg?itok=E-fY7Tsf\" width=\"1241\" height=\"1784\" alt=\"Pagani Zondas inside the Hungarian State Opera House 2026 Top Gear\" class=\"image-style-media-embed\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"media media--type-image\">\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/media_embed\/public\/2026\/09\/DSC08060-light.jpg?itok=FrcH3qP7\" width=\"1241\" height=\"1784\" alt=\"Pagani Zondas inside the Hungarian State Opera House 2026 Top Gear\" class=\"image-style-media-embed\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"media media--type-image\">\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/media_embed\/public\/2026\/09\/DSC08225-light.jpg?itok=xuLaO1tK\" width=\"1241\" height=\"1784\" alt=\"Pagani Zondas inside the Hungarian State Opera House 2026 Top Gear\" class=\"image-style-media-embed\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the world\u2019s most expensive orchestra.
