Andy_Bangle Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Some more pictures from Frankfurt of the ultimate incarnation of the eminently desirable supercar, itself due to be replaced shortly, the $1.8 million track-only Zonda R. It costs about $1.8 million, is constructed out of a carbon-titanium weave, packs 739 horsepower and features Pagani's first sequential gearbox, delivering extreme performance, with a 0-60 mph run of three seconds flat and a 233 mph top end.

cruiser647 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Feck me that's ugly. It does nothing for me. Am I wrong or should I be ashamed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm with you on that. Vile, but then I am not the Zonda's biggest fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon690 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 There are some amazing engineering touches but ultimatey it does look like a barry-boy's wet dream. All it needs is some under-car neons and it'll be finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think it looks amazing, as a racing car as its not a road car is it. Everything on the car is functional, to make it faster or to generate more downforce and not really to look good as such. I bet it sounds fantastic on a track.

RobK Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wow, that's just nuts. Why would anyone want to race in a 1.8 million dollar car?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 As above i've never really been a fan of the Zonda for my sins but that really does look great. At least we now know where Woppum picked up his colour scheme from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Feck me that's ugly.It does nothing for me. Am I wrong or should I be ashamed? Pagani make an ultimate track focussed car that is all about performance, and people complain about its looks. Isn't that a bit like buying an Audi and then complaining about its performance?

Andy_Bangle Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 The dealing on the car is just in another world... for example look at the mirrors: and the headlight surrounds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that a bit like buying an Audi and then complaining about its performance? I'm not doubting it's track ability, just the need for Roy Orbison glasses as you approach it. However, as mentioned before - would you track a £/$/Euro 1.8M car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 The dealing on the car is just in another world... for example look at the mirrors: Nice detail, but I bet they are absolutely useless as mirrors, they'll be shaking more than gary glitter outside a school playground.

Andy_Bangle Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 This is what Evo thought of the development car on the Top Gear track: How quick is it? Without giving anything away, easily quicker than any of the roadgoing supercars that have been round the track.If Pagani does get invited to Top Gear for a lap, I reckon the Stig will feel right at home in the Zonda R, and that the Zonda will feel right at home on the track. In fact, from the data we’ve seen of the R on barely warm slicks, carrying 70kg of anxious ballast and with a handy driver just getting used to the track, not even the FXX will be able to resist. Nice detail, but I bet they are absolutely useless as mirrors, I bet they wouldn't last long outside the pub on a Saturday night either :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
