Liam Neeson has spent years playing men who track others down. In his latest film, the roles reverse. He becomes the one everyone is after, and the machine he chooses for the job is a serious piece of American muscle.
Auto enthusiasts know Pagani for their hypercars. Now the Italian company has found a way to extend its distinctive approach into private aviation through a dedicated division. Pagani Arte handles this expansion. It grew from a simple idea to carry the same standards of detail and quality beyond cars and into areas such as furniture and aircraft cabins.
