At Art Basel, Miami, artist Joaquin Arbiza unveiled his unique creation, the Pagani Zonda Carpincho, a stunning replica of the Pagani Zonda F supercar.
Entrepreneur and car collector Jorge Gomez commissioned this exceptional piece.
The Pagani Zonda Carpincho boasts a frame crafted from wood, foam, and clay. However, its true uniqueness lies in its exterior, adorned with over 100,000 2-peso coins from Uruguay. The reverse side of these coins features the capybara, a large rodent native to South America, which inspired the car’s name.
Crafting this model car took artist Joaquin Arbiza over three years of meticulous design and execution.
Paying homage to his Argentinian roots and his love for football and his homeland, Mr. Gomez requested that the football legend Lionel Messi’s image be featured on the car’s hood.
With an estimated cost of just over 200,000 pesos (approximately 110 million VND) for the coins used, the artist created a masterpiece. In contrast, the original Pagani Zonda fetches a price tag of around $1.9 million (48.2 billion VND).
Currently, the Pagani Zonda Carpincho resides in Mr. Gomez’s private collection, valued at millions of dollars. He is a renowned car collector, owning limited-edition models from prestigious brands such as Pagani, Ferrari, Porsche, and Mercedes-Benz.
