Having lived through Bush years, my eyes always gravitate towards any growing nationalism waving flags. Although you may have just seen a new Pagani Huayra R, I immediately realized a bigger Italian flag on the side.
Here is an original C12 S roadster. When you look at the original Paganis, you see exactly no Italian flag on them. Why didn’t you need an Italian flag to let you know it was Italian? Because it’s a bright yellow supercar that’s about half an inch off the ground with a V12 behind the seats. The whole car is a sufficient indication, as it is, it is Italian.
Pagani is the most Italian car company in existence, running demonstration races on the side street behind the factory. It couldn’t be more Italian, although the founder was born in Argentina.

The first Pagani I found with an Italian flag was the Zonda Cinque 2009. Can you identify the flags? They are right there, in the wonderfully delicate side mirrors.
The most direct, of course, was the Zonda Tricolore, baptized both by the flag itself and by the Italian version of the Blue Angels, which also bears the name.
Even that car, which was named after the flag itself, did not have as big a red-white-green scheme as this new Huayra R. Look at this big flag! There is even a flag color scheme on the diffuser.
The comedy added is that, in addition to finally releasing a successor R to Huayra for Zonda, he also made a new Huayra Tricolore. At first glance, it looks like we even any less flag than before. But then you look again and!
It has an even bigger flag on the side! The flags refuse to get smaller. I can understand that America will never return to a state where we do not have flags of thirty meters high in all car dealerships on the city limits, but Pagani?
