For most of us, the Pagani Zonda and the Pagani Huayra are just dream cars. For guys like Goodwood Road and Racing Club member Peter Read, they are a beautiful reality since he owns both of these cars. But it's good thing since he offers us the chance to see the Zonda and its successor together on the track for the first time. So let's enjoy what we have. Video after the jump.
It is powered by an AMG sourced 800 Hp naturally aspirated 6.0-Liter V12 and weights just 1070 Kilograms (2360 pounds). Price is $2.8million and only five units will be made. Has a DRS-like active aero system.
Summary:
Zonda R: weight: 1,071 Kilograms, power: 700 Hp, no active aero, Nurburgring lap time: 6:47
Zonda Revolution: weight: 1,070 Kilograms, power: 800 Hp, active aero: DRS, Nurburgring lap time: ?
If you grew up mounting LEGO Technic Sets using nothing but instructions without leaving room for your imagination, you will feel ashamed after watching this. This Polish LEGO genius built a fully functional motorized Pagani Zonda. I have an admiration for the work done here and how the electric motor and the battery found their place in such a small structure.
There are plenty of fully functional awesome projects made by Pawel "Sariel" Kmiec that require much more skills than just being a LEGO artist. So you better hurry up to his site and have a look. You can also buy his "Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide" is which he exposes techniques that might help you (or not) build your own Zonda!
The motorized LEGO Zonda also features fully functional push-rod suspension and can achieve a top speed of 15.4 Km/h (nearly 10 mph). You can see it in action in the video after the jump.
This fantastic creation surely deserves its place among our personal favourites including this Porsche 917K by Ming Thein.
To celebrate the Italian aerobatic team, The Tricolor Arrows' 50th anniversary Pagani has presented the Zonda Tricolore earlier this year. A one off version of one of Modena's tastiest an most exclusive supercars. Based on the already more than exclusive Zonda Cinque, The Zonda Tricolore features front LED lights, Zonda R like yellow wheels and of course a very distinctive blue and black carbon fiber body work. Once again, Horacio Pagani makes a true piece of art, which by the way carries his signature. As for the performance figures, the Zonda Tricolore is ready to beat nearly everything on a track. I think i like this car too much, and i think you should too.
This video features the ten fastest lap times round the Top Gear test track until season 13! So if you still didn't watch the series that far, maybe you would like to wait until you'll be able watch the whole series. And maybe you shouldn't read the whole post either...
Otherwise, enjoy!
For those who aren't familiar with the corners' names here's a little reminder:
The video also includes the Ferrari FXX lap time which has been removed by Jeremy Clarkson for obvious reasons (slicks, not road legal..) but it's still worth the watch, what a noise!
Through this post i would like to share with you my all time favourite supercars. Each one of them has something special that makes me want it to be someday in my dream garage...
Ferrari F40
year 1987
It's my all time favourite supercar and in my opinion the best looking Ferrari ever made. It was built to be as simple as possible. With its obsessive weight saving, the car was just 1100 Kg heavy, with doors that weight only 1.5 Kg each! A figure that is completely impossible to achieve today thanks to all the technology put in modern supercars..
