Students from the Instituto Europeo di Design (IED) have created a gorgeous concept car called Alisea as an homage to the Pagani Zonda.
Although the Alisea is just a static Pagani concept car, not a fully functioning one, it still looks amazing.
The project was meant to honor the Pagani Zonda, the car that put the Italian carmaker into the supercar hall of fame.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Pagani Zonda.
Students from IED – an unfortunate acronym, to say the least – created the Alisea to honor the legacy of the Zonda, in cooperation with the Italian car maker.
Only the world’s elite, such as Lionel Messi have the honor of owning the Pagani Zonda Tricolore, an even rarer supercar.
Pagani is currently the only Italian automotive manufacturer still making their supercars as an independent company.
The automaker’s origin can be traced back to Lamborghini, another Italian car maker.
The Pagani Zonda is one of the world’s most rarest and expensive cars.
While the Huayra and Utopia are also gorgeous to look at, they don’t stand a chance in front of the Alisea.
However, it’s unclear if any element of the Pagani concept car will make its way into the automaker’s future production cars.
“Its surface has no decorative elements or interruptions,” said IED.
“Alisea is a single, clean, and legible shape, with no hollows in any part of the body – a rare feature in this car category,” they added.
The Pagani concept car is powered by an AMG V12 engine.
It is ‘the closest translation of a Le Mans car for the road’, according to the students.
The Alisea looks very much like a modern Pagani Zonda, with smoother bodywork and fewer ornate details.
The car’s interior is also extremely good looking, with analog gauges, a manual gearstick, a digital dash, and a whole load of leather.
The IED also released a video showcasing the concept car and its design process.
