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

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).
