One thing came to mind. If Mr Pagani does decide to broaden his range of cars (since he has expanded his production facilities in anticipation for sales to the United States), why not produce a C9 that is powered by the forthcoming AMG twin-turbo 6.2L V8 engine.

I think this will be a nice idea if you don't mind me saying so. The AMG twin-turbo V8 engine will pay homage to the original Le Mans winning Sauber-Mercedes C9 as it was powered by a Mercedes M119 twin-turbo V8 engine.

The V8 version of the Pagani C9 should not be positioned as below the V12 version. But as a more focused and sporting version with lighter weight and (slightly) superior handling qualities than the big brother V12 engined C9.

But Clubsport is correct in saying that using a V8 engine for the top of the line C9 would indeed be like painting the Mona Lisa with the spray can.

I know I'm being greedy here. But I think Mr Pagani should take inspiration from the Sauber Mercedes C291 or C292 for his next masterpiece. Without the bland aerodynamic-driven front-end of course.
