Owner uses car as art in his condo

- By Johnny Diaz Staff writer

A condo owner in Surfside had a Pagani Zonda R recently installed in his unit where it divides the living room from the master bedroom.

The 800-pound super car serves as art and a partition in the 4,232-square-foot unit at the Fendi Chateau Residences in northeast Miami-Dade, according to The Miami Herald.

Although the project took several months to design, it took three days for Artefacto Home Staging and Finish My Condo to place the car into the unit, according to a publicist for Artefacto. A flat bed truck and a crane were used to lift the vehicle into the fifth-story residence.

The Italian car, which doesn’t have an engine, looks like it’s floating inside the unit where it sits on an aluminum and carbon fiber stand.

The identity of the resident and the total cost of the installati­on weren’t disclosed but the public relations firm said the client wanted to furnish the unit “around the car, with a sleek aesthetic of clean, bold lines.”

On Instagram though, a user named Pablo Perez Companc, an Argentine race car driver, says the car and condo belong to him.

Companc, who has 810,000 followers on Instagram, said the vehicle which is hanging in the living room is actually a copy of a car that he owns, a Zonda R Black Minion.

“This is just a work of art,’’ he posted recently.
