  • If you could have something named after you, what would it beโ€”and why?

    My Answer: A naturally aspirated hypercar. Just 30 units. A legacy machine.

    If something were to carry my name, it wouldnโ€™t be a watch or a resort. It would be a machineโ€”a hypercar born from passion, performance, and purity. Think Pagani Jarocki, Ferrari RLJ Competizione, or RJ30 Stradale. A vehicle that blends art, engineering, and emotion into something timeless. Something mechanical. Something that roars.

    My inspiration? The Pagani Huayra BCโ€”named after Benny Caiola, one of Horacio Paganiโ€™s earliest believers and closest friends. That car wasnโ€™t just a spec sheetโ€”it was a tribute. A thank-you. A physical expression of legacy. Thatโ€™s exactly the feeling Iโ€™d want the Jarocki to carry.

    It would be unapologetically analog.
    A naturally aspirated engine only. No turbo lag. No hybrid weight. Just the unfiltered rage of a custom-built V12 designed to scream past 9,000 RPM. A work of mechanical art developed with Cosworth or a racing partner who understands what soul feels like at redline.

    Key elements?

    • A naturally aspirated V12 with over 800 hpโ€”raw, responsive, sonically unforgettable
    • Lightweight carbon-titanium chassis, sub-1,250 kg curb weight
    • 6-speed gated manual or a motorsport-style sequentialโ€”no DCT, no padding
    • Hand-stitched interiors with old-world craftsmanship and zero screens
    • Aerodynamics inspired by Le Mans prototypes and classic Can-Am racers
    • Exposed hardware, forged aluminum controls, and a view out the front that reminds you itโ€™s about the drive

    Only 30 will be made, globally.
    Every car would be personally specced with the ownerโ€”no configurator, no dealerships. Deliveries would happen during a curated weekend in Italy, Brazil, or Japanโ€”depending on the ownerโ€™s story and driving history. This car would come with more than just a titleโ€”it would come with a narrative.

    Each unit would include:

    • A matching luggage and leather goods set
    • A limited-edition mechanical chronograph
    • Custom-fitted driving gloves and helmet
    • A short documentary film about the carโ€™s design and delivery

    This wouldnโ€™t be built for social media hype. It would be for the people who still keep their favorite key on themโ€”who know the joy of a heel-toe downshift and the danger of chasing perfection at 200 mph.

    If my nameโ€™s going on somethingโ€”itโ€™s going to scream with a naturally aspirated heart and a soul you can feel in every gear.
