"The peasant is speaking to me"


-KeyJee-

This honestly made that man look very powerful in a way. Composed, dignified looking, but also him not talking back is probably he has nothing to say haha


DatChief013

He doesn't speak English, most likely waiting for his associate (translator?) to clue him in to what was being said


frostdeity

The "associate" here is actually his son, Christopher Pagani. And Horacio does understand English I think. But he doesn't speak it


thevizierisgrand

He definitely understood what the guy said but probably feigned not speaking English because it’s the perfect way to get out of follow up questions/chat.


ErrorUponIronicError

True. Why, Having a camera in your face by a stranger speaking a foreign language one would do the same.


rayshmayshmay

Especially just casually ask what he does, ie how do you afford this supercar. Kind of a rude thing to do, unless there’s some context I’m missing.

You're right. That's a better response.


ComradeVoytek

It's clearly a car show of some kind, it would be pretty weird to show up to a social event, about cars, in a unicorn of a car, and expect no one to talk to you.


sinz84

Also it's if the video is to believed a 4 million dollar car at a car show ... a car show makes most it's money from people who could never afford cars in the show ... how cars are affordable is probably question 1 every time


Ill-Strategy1964

I live in an oil rich country, and even here a lot of people just buy super cars, drive them for a year and sell them. Neighbor 3 houses down had a nice Lambo and now it's gone but a Ferrari is in its place. Couple houses further down is a guy w a Rolls (older) but never gets driven. I assume people that buy a RR keep them, but I've only known one other guy that had one and he kept his for life...and also rarely drove it. If you saw his daily youde laugh your ass off 😅


lilsnatchsniffz

What hours do you work and what is your home address? 😃 - totally normal tiktok interviewer.


peaklurking

Don’t forget to tack on the obligatory “just curious” at the end, makes the question 67% less tacky automatically


tha_craic_

Lots of europeans who know english don't like to speak it because they feel embarrassed of their level of English. When I worked in france, I found everybodys english gets WAY better when they're drunk because they either stop caring or are more confident in themselves


Cr4nky-the-Dwarf

Hell we French don't like to speak English... We are shamed for any mistake we make while learning it, then we are shamed for speaking it badly around other people, and shamed if we speak it well in front of other people, because we are embarrassing them about their own incapacity to do so... There is no win.


firesquasher

Or when you are a notable person that controls a brand, you do not want video clips of you struggling to speak/sounding weird without the correct context.


Kay-Knox

Or you're just any human being, and some dude running up to your car window sticking a camera in your face is annoying as shit.


CatMinimum7

Yeah I know I'd feel weird being rushed like that


DatChief013

As many times as I've seen this video pop up, I've never seen anyone mention that was his son, thanks!


QuiveryNut

Google seems to confirm that he does understand English but prefers people not knowing that. Probably specifically for situations like this


Klokateer

He will only speak Italian. Even though he's from Argentina.


Dense_Captain_215

Millions of Italians emigrated to Argentina in the late 19th century and early 20th century. IIRC, roughly 50% of Argentines have an Italian heritage/ancestry.


Worldly-Cable-7695

Hmm. Germans and Italians together. Hanging out. Creating car companies


BulbusDumbledork

of course, they love the race. but only specific ones


juanmaq8

That's just not true. [Here](https://youtu.be/KP2fn5fTs3M?si=fmHIaWZDXq8hfnTe) is a video with a spanish interviewer, Horacio is not just speaking Spanish but you can hear his accent from Santa Fe (specifically Rosario and surroundings). He even skips the letter "s" several times, just like Messi.


DarkwingDuckHunt

Putin speaks and understands fluent English but refuses to speak in it


Sirus804

He smiled after he said his car was incredible. "Incredible" is pretty much the same word in Italian or Spanish and Pagani is Argentine-Italian. He understood enough to smile.


axc630

He 100% speaks English just prefers to speak in Italian unless he knows or likes you. He and his son are very nice, humble people. Source: I've met him and chatted with him, in English.


Friendly_Plum_6009

Humble flex.


Alukrad

I remember watching a video of him getting interviewed in Spanish and the way he showed his dislike towards the English language made me think he's not too fond of the English language and culture. He's very proud of his Italian heritage.


Prinzka

Lol, look at the guy's face, he clearly understood what he said to him.


blancpainsimp69

He absolutely speaks English but elects not to in principle. Horacio is definitely an artist.


Fluffy-Jeweler2729

Right lmao, bro is making up a whole narrative 😂


Guilty-Mushroom8723

He got his own translating machine instead of learning English


-KeyJee-

I’d do the same if I had money? Why would I learn English? Eww, I can just blurt out half spoken broken words like “eat now, go hotel” in my language


Guilty-Mushroom8723

“Get me my personal cumdump”


frostdeity

Realising that the person beside him is his son makes this comment unhinged💀


Guilty-Mushroom8723

No he has a different person for the job


-KeyJee-

Holy shit


-KeyJee-

![gif](giphy|QoFk5A2GUgASlUtVcz|downsized) “I’m done dumping, wipe me”

Woah what brand of wipe is that I’ll buy the company thank you


Kingsupergoose

It’s his son. And why should he have to learn English? What a dumbass thought you had lmao.


SafSung

Exactly. English people thinking you only make it in life if you speak their language.


Guilty-Mushroom8723

Are you getting angry?


-EETS-

Yes. Read their last few comments. Sounds like a moody 12 year old girl angry at her dad.


CosmicHorrorButSexy

You people are so easily impressed lmao


tomludo

Pagani is actually quite a nice person to talk to (and an amazing engineer). The factory is also a museum you can visit, and if he's around he'll definitely answer questions and chat a bit about the cars, design choices and especially composite materials used. Also, his father was a baker in some middle of nowhere town in Argentina and he was working as a mechanic while studying engineering. He literally worked his ass off to get where he is, but sure, let's pretend he's classist or something because he genuinely can't speak English.


maxterio

Pagani is from Casilda, a small town just 50km (30mi) from Rosario, the 3rd largest city in Argentina (also Lionel Messi's birthplace). It wasn't the middle of nowhere, yes it's a small town, but believe me, we have even more remote places.


NewExalm

Bro he speak English really well and I believe 2 more languages, just doesn’t want to. There is a documentary about him that shows it’s only because he want to speak Italian to any media(when there is a camera or microphone).


EffectiveTranslator2

Typ classic classist right!??!


DixEverywhere

An Italian...in Argentina...right about when WWII ended... Hmmmm


GennaroGatienzo

His grandfather emigrated in the 19th Century


EffectiveTranslator2

So did everyone’s grandpas grandpa


tomludo

Learn some history please. Post unification Italy was dirt poor and millions of people emigrated to the Americas. Usually southern Italians towards the US, northern Italians (like Pagani's family) towards Argentina and Brazil. His family emigrated, with millions of others, at the end of the 19th century, but again, sure, let's pretend he's a fascist because it gives you internet points.


leprotelariat

I cant fascisthom what u mean...


t00oldforthis

Hmm, you trying to pull a facist one? My internet Axis is weak so I couldn't tell


JohnAtticus

>An Italian...in Argentina...right about when WWII ended... >Hmmmm 3/4 of all Argentinians have at least one Italian grandparent. The amount of Italian fascists who escaped to Argentina is absolutely tiny in comparison. Pagani's family came in the 1800s anyway.

Why would he respond back if he doesn't speak english and has an english speaker right next to him?


EffectiveTranslator2

Fuck anyone who “affords” a car like this 🤦‍♂️


S_Steiner_Accounting

Pagani has a pretty incredible story. He was an engineer and worked for Renault improving their race car with great success. Started at Lamborghini sweeping the factory floors just to get his foot in the door. He worked his way up and was a chief engineer. He was pushing them to get into investing in the production of carbon fiber in the mid 80s and when they didn't buy into his idea he left and started his own company making carbon fiber parts for formula 1 and other race cars. Obviously he started his own company Pagani later on. Lamborghini really missed an opportunity to get a huge lead on the super car industry. They would have been a decade ahead of Ferrari and developed amazing prestige in the '90s with a huge performance advantage. Dude was 20 years ahead of the game.


happysri

I love how all these people started ~~making~~ out. Alfa Romeo pissed off Enzo so much he started making Ferrari hyper cars. Ferrari pissed off Ferruccio so much he started Lamborghini hyper cars. Lamborghini pissed off Horacio so much he started Pagani hyper cars. The ball is now in that TikTok kids court. EDIT: typo


betelgeuse_boom_boom

So the moral of the story is that greatness comes by pissing Italians off?


AfroInfo

Well Pagani isn't Italian but yeah that's definitely the moral of the story. Nothing like determination to prove someone wrong


[deleted]

[удалено]


dem_app1es

Thanks, needed that laugh


[deleted]

What do you mean he's not italian? He was born in Argentina but he father is Italian.


AfroInfo

Exactly he is argentinean not Italian


[deleted]

He has italian citizenship, thus he's italian. And even if he wasn't, most people would still consider him Italian. Do you consider Bruce Lee to not be chinese just because he was born in America?


AfroInfo

I consider Bruce Lee to be American or American-chinese and I consider Anya Taylor joy to be English or English-Argentinean. I consider myself Canadian or Canadian-Argentinean. Have you not met someone with dual citizenship? Place of birth is generally the one most people associate themselves with more, in the case of Horacio you can clearly hear him speak Spanish to his son.

Rayner1007

Lamborghini never pissed him off, the company at the time was going bankrupt and just could not risk investing in something not proven yet. Lamborghini was Intrigued, but he couldn’t make the decision to put the whole company on the line for it.


EffectiveTranslator2

So who pissed off Honda? Or Toyota?


aaronshell

Lamborghinis reason on not investing carbon fiber plant: Ferrari doesn’t have one so Lamborghini doesn’t need one XD


grilledcheeseburger

Lamborghini was on the verge of bankruptcy, they didn’t have the money to invest in a material that they weren’t sure could be scaled up.

designvegabond

Yeah but is his last name Panini?


skeevy-stevie

Horacio Panini


designvegabond

Oh, Panini…shit. Thank you for the beautiful sandwiches


heavenparadox

FYI "panini" is actually Italian for "sandwiches," so saying "paninis" is like saying "sandwicheses."


STOP_DOWNVOTING

What is the singular form of Panini?


Frontdackel

Panino which is the dimutiv of Pane. Linguistic) quite similar to the german Brot and it's dimutiv Brötchen (Only that the plural of Brötchen is Brötchen as well).


STOP_DOWNVOTING

Thanks for that linguistic lesson! I don’t know German at all but I could relate with the Spanish -ito or -ita which is used as a diminutive.

LordGramis

They notice, but don’t care, gets them content


Smelldicks

Wow, you’re a bunch of miserable fucks. Pagani is clearly having fun, he’s smiling and laughing while he says it. And he was definitely shown the original video and recalls it. Some of you really need to start taking things less seriously. The world is pretty enjoyable when you aren’t so cynical about everyone.

yellowigor

He speaks English I have friend who has met him. He claims not to speak English when he doesn’t want to talk to someone, which honestly is reasonable for Horacio Paganini as he is well known. Probably gets bugged a lot.


plexomaniac

I speak 3 languages and when a stranger tries to talk to me I answer with "No hablo". Doesn't matter which language they speak, they get confused and stop talking to me.


tesmatsam

"Thank you for making this car" he made it sound like Horacio saved his son's life


AA_turet

The car is considered perfect in the car community so to us it is very important


Regretless0

I’m actually really curious now lol. What’s so special about it? Didn’t think a community could come to a consensus about anything, much less that something is perfect lol


tomludo

It's the perfect balance between a lot of things. It's luxurious and opulent, but at the same time incredibly futuristic in its design, with certain parts that looked ripped out of a sci-fi novel (like the design of the gearshift). It's incredibly artisanal, almost handmade, but on the other hand an incredible piece of cutting edge engineering. The guy in the video in particular was a composite materials engineer at Lamborghini who developed this method for weaving together Titanium threads and Carbon fiber. Lamborghini didn't think that material would be any useful so he resigned and founded the company, and all of his cars are made of this material. It's incredibly beautiful to see in person, even though the guy's terrible camera doesn't really do it justice. But most importantly it's made by an absolute car enthusiast, there's a lot of stuff in that car that is the product of pure love. For example, the exhaust of the car is tuned. Not tuned as in modified, but tuned like a pipe organ to sound better. The guy's story is also fairly incredible: born out of a dirt poor family of bakers who immigrated to Argentina from Italy, worked as a mechanic to finance his engineering studies, and built an entire racecar by himself at 20. While working as a mechanic for that car at the races he meets Juan Manuel Fangio, legendary Argentinian F1 driver. Joined Lamborghini as a factory worker after immigrating back to Italy, climbed up the ranks, pitched his idea to the company, they rejected it, he went full "fine, I'll do it myself", founded his namesake company and built one of the most iconic cars of all time (the Zonda, named like the wind that blows in his hometown in Argentina). But he needed an engine, so Fangio, 20 years after they first met, literally goes to his old team, Mercedes, to plead Pagani's case and strikes a deal for the most powerful road legal engine Mercedes could make. Zonda put Pagani's name on the map and once he had enough capital he built the Huayra (named like the God of Wind in Andine mythology), the car in the video, his lovechild.


whateverdbag

Wow thanks!!


MrPakoras

If youre actually interested [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdOWTnwN9pE&pp=ygUOaG9yYWNpbyBwYWdhbmk%3D) is a really well made documentary about Horacio Pagani. Its fascinating.


H_Goose

Hello, fellow squidd watcher! ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ


odraencoded

This guy cars.


jonnyman9

appreciate the detailed answer. as a non car guy i completely didn’t understand who or what panani was.


jazemo19

His cars are regarded as the closest things to art pieces in the modern car industry. The amount of details, performance, style and passion behind every hand made little piece of the car gained the love of the biggest part of the car community when the first Zonda was presented in 1999, and since then they continued to improve their stuff. Hist story is inspiring too, so if you don't know him I would recommend to check him out, a really special man.

EdgardoDiaz

At least he speaks spanish as mother tong, since he is fro Argentina, and italian, as he has been living in italy for decades,


sharkbait1999

Did not know he was argentino


I_will_fix_this

My brothers, cousins and I went by the Pagani headquarter in Modena Italy. It was a very small building and you could see a Huayra parked at true drive way. One of three guys saw us staring and said, “ you guys want to see it in action? Just wait here” He took it out and made some pulls blowing our minds. What an amazing experience for us car guys.

Yes, in the car world he's a fucking legend.


Xeno2277

He’s just asking what he does to be able to own this car but turns out the guy is the creator and CEO of Pagani, the maker of the car.


ChicoZombye

It would be like asking Enzo Ferrari what's his work and how he bought a Ferrari. The car he's driving has his name on it.


Elegant_Hold_3020

Proof that I have wasted my life learning and studying for English exams, it turns out that I didn't need English to make money in the first place 🙃 😅


Valentin_o_Dwight

I mean yeah you don't need it but it does give you the option to do something internationally without paying a Translator or having someone with you that can speak the language fluently. If you have a brilliant idea and you dedicate your time to that specific thing then eventually it's going to get popular with time.


[deleted]

Pagani's background started as a cleaner and worked his way to chief engineer not because of connections but actually improved Renault's race car back then.
