Pagani Huayra fails to make U.S. homologation

What a shame.

I love this car and Pagani. I love it more now Americans still can't get them. BUT...it's a shame it'll harm Pagani in the long run.

the DOT could really let Pagani sell their cars there because it is so low volume that those 15 customers would buy it with knowledge that DOT is not approving but allowing...anyway that is a collectors car and DOt could really look through fingers in this case :P

wtf! this is bs from the dot

1 more reason to hate those fat debt hungry people!!!!! they can sell and 'make' kit cars that pass without airbags or anything good or safe about them but they cant pass this fine example of an automobile. shameless americans!!!!!!!!

It's because the fine men and women at the DOT can't pronounce the name.

Dear Mr. Pagani, don?t despair. In the near future you can?t make money in the US anyway. It?s a bankrupt country...

Why don't Pagani just buy the Airbag or presafe safety technology from the Mercedes-Benz? Lets face the fact that most cars comes with an airbag. I still like the earlier Zonda S.

You damn DOT! You take away the Exige, and now you take away Pagani?! Why not take away my house?!

Hehe, I'm pucking my brother up off the bus today and I think it's run by the Departement of Transportation, done bus division idk. I'll give them a peace of my mind. Think about the children, me my brothers, my classmates, the whole world, you are taking away their beliefs and dreams in fast cars :(

Screw America, they are going down. Concentrate on China, Pagani, that's where the money comes from.

agree with adding the airbag just to get this DOT compliance. shouldn't be a big effort. LOL on the financial hardship.

Yet the ultimate aero sneaks by with no airbags...

This is not a big deal, as a matter of fact in states like california where most of these would be sold they should buy their dealership, or partner up with a Mercedes dealer and import the car in two separate containers, in one the car, and in the other the engine, transmission, and wheels. The car would not be considered a motor vehicle. Then they would assemble it at the dealer and it would be classified as a kit car therefore exempt from emission regulations and taxations, also safety/DOT standards. If this can be done with R34 skylines and other JDM cars i'm sure it can be done with the Pagani.

LOL!!!--wow so much hate for America! I'm American--live in Dallas. Tell me about the perfect country where all you people live.

As I hear the US wants to tax the rich more and the death of 15 millionaires a year can't be good for the economy... LOL!

The Aventador looks better, sounds better, is much cheaper and performs and handles as good if not better. why would anyone prefer this?

people are just paying for the lazy and inefficient italian works.. if it's made in japan or germany, it could sell for 1/10 of the price..

One person doesn't live the same life as the rest of the population, nor does he share the same mindset. No country has clones and thorough equality. Americans are just people living on a mass of land with messed up foreign politics. What makes a country a great place to live is the natural characteristics and how easy it is to make money. If you have money it doesn't matter what country you live in, sure having money in Antarctica won't do you much good. Bangladesh for example, it's a relative shit hole, but i'm sure if you had a few million in the bank you'd live a good life. I mean if you have money the foreign politics, the freedoms the general public have, or how the rest of the world sees you doesn't matter, you buy your freedoms, and lets face it you don't interact with average people. You think the billionairs in Russia or China give a shit about the US's foreign politics and hate US billionairs because they are "American", nah they don't care, they have their own group where nationality doesn't matter, $ does, and as it stands most of the wealth is still in the US, the country may be in debt, but the rich individuals get more rich. And lets face it, if you are super wealthy the US is a great place to live. They have almost every type of natural environment, you want a pimp ski cabin you have it, you want a beach house on a tropical beach you have it, you want to live in a huge metropolitan city you have it, they have everything available, and the things that aren't readily available, money buys anyways. I'm sure if you really wanted a Pagani you would have one in as long as it takes a cargo plane to fly from Italy to US. Money buys everything guys, most of the rich people in the world are concentrated in one state, California, so you obviously want to hang with people on your own level so the US is a great place for the wealthy. Now if you are an average joe trying to make a living it SUCKS right now. For the average joe Europe is where you'd have a better life, mainly Germany/France. Free education/Healthcare, more vacation time, more evolved work culture where at the end of the day you have a personal life and aren't just a robot put on idle. To tell you the truth I live in Canada and i don't give a shit about American/Canadian politics, if it doesn't affect my life I don't care, I have enough of my own problems to worry about how canadian politics affects other people's lives and how the world views us as a nation because of that.
