In the already highly exclusive world of Pagani, yet some special orders still manage to push the boundaries of what is imaginable. This is precisely the case with the new Pagani Utopia Named by its client «Madonna of the Car Nation,» this one-of-a-kind project was commissioned by American collector Kris Singh, known for owning some of the world’s rarest hypercars.
If his name sounds familiar, it's probably because we've already mentioned his spectacular Pagani Zonda Arrivederci, which was spotted in Las Vegas several months ago. This time, the collector is back with an even more ambitious project, scheduled for completion in October 2026.
A painting that took more than three years to complete
In an Instagram post, Kris Singh revealed the first details of this upcoming Utopia, which is already shaping up to be one of the most extravagant creations ever to come out of the workshops in San Cesario sul Panaro. The most impressive feature is undoubtedly its paint job. According to the collector, the German specialist Karosserie PHL spent more than three years developing this unique shade. The goal was to create a color capable of replicating the appearance of real gold on a body that combines carbon fiber and aluminum.
To achieve this, the teams used shavings from a genuine gold ingot, as well as authentic moon rock. The moon rock was reportedly acquired by Kris Singh at a highly publicized auction.
The result, visible in the first samples unveiled by the owner, features a particularly deep golden luster, enhanced by a subtle luminous effect created by the crushed lunar rock particles. According to Singh, one of the main challenges was preventing the paint from taking on shades that were too yellow, coppery, or bronze. After several years of experimentation, the result appears to have achieved the desired effect: a finish that truly evokes gold.
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci
The name «Madonna of the Car Nation» was not chosen at random. Kris Singh explains that he drew inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting «Madonna of the Carnation.» In this work, he was particularly struck by the golden accents on the Virgin Mary’s scarf and on the seat of the Baby Jesus. These elements served as the starting point for the project’s entire aesthetic philosophy. As is often the case with Pagani’s most exclusive creations, the car is not merely a matter of color scheme. It tells a story, blending art, cultural heritage, and automotive craftsmanship.
Interior inspired by Italian fashion
The bodywork is just one part of the project. The interior has also been the subject of particularly meticulous work. Kris Singh reveals that he collaborated with designer Pandragram to create an interior that would complement this exceptional paint job. They exchanged numerous inspirational images over the course of several months to define the desired atmosphere.
The collector also notes that the materials and fabrics were chosen to reflect the Italian style that his partner, Silvia, particularly appreciates. The fabrics are currently being manufactured before being entrusted to artisans specializing in leatherwork. Although few details have been revealed so far, everything indicates that this Utopia will feature a particularly refined interior, in keeping with the Italian brand’s most prestigious creations.
A new centerpiece in an extraordinary collection
This future Pagani will join an already impressive collection. Kris Singh owns, among other cars, an Aston Martin Valkyrie with a paint job that also incorporates moon rock, as well as several extremely rare Lamborghinis, a Bugatti Divo, a Koenigsegg Agera XS, and an impressive collection of Pagani models, including the Huayra BC, the Huayra La Monza Lisa, the Zonda UFO, and the famous Zonda Arrivederci.
Nevertheless, the «Madonna of the Car Nation» seems to hold a special place in his garage. The owner describes the project as the culmination of several years of reflection, research, and experimentation.
