On this episode of The Downshift, we head to Italy to visit Pagani and talk to the man who started it all, Horacio Pagani. Take a trip from Horacio’s early days at Lamborghini to his first car, the Zonda, and to his most recent creation, the absolutely insane Huayra.

The Ducati 1199 Panigale S is a mould-breaking superbike, but how will it fare against one of our favourite supercars, the McLaren 12C? Will the McLaren’s sheer power and incredible braking power be too much for the Ducati? Or will the Panigale’s epic power to weight ratio rule the day? Our last supercar vs superbike outing at Cadwell Park saw the Nissan GT-R beat a Ducati 1098 – will the Panigale level the score this time out?

October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner ascended more than 24 miles above Earth’s surface to the edge of space in a stratospheric balloon. Millions across the globe watched as he opened the door of the capsule, stepped off the platform, and broke the speed of sound while free falling safely back to Earth. Felix set three world records that day—and inspired us all to reach beyond the limits of our own realities, and reimagine our potential to achieve the incredible.
GoPro was honored to be a part of this epic achievement, with seven HERO2 cameras documenting every moment. From the airless freeze of outer space, to the record-breaking free fall and momentous return to ground—see it all through Felix’s eyes as captured by GoPro, and experience this incredible mission like never before. No one gets you closer than this.
