Knowing that Pocher has partnered with Pagani is great news, and even more so if it means that car fans can build the incredible engineering masterpiece that is the Pagani Utopia Coupé to scale. And, what's more, in a very special colour, the Rinascimento Lucido, the one chosen for its world premiere. With more than 556 parts, to which we should add more than 200 screws, this kit has been made with the same meticulousness and quality of materials as the original model. Its powerful V12 engine, its elegant interior or its aerodynamic bodywork, everything has been developed with the utmost detail for the enjoyment of the modeller. Logically, both the doors and the front and rear hoods open, revealing the interior of the car. What a delight!
