Pagani Zonda R Preview at Geneva

Pagani Zonda R side

Wow. Sketches of Pagani’s newest car have surfaced. It’s called the Zonda R, and will be debuted at the Geneva Auto Show. The car will likely cost over $1.5 million, and there’s no word on how many will be made. It was made at the request of a current lucky bastard owner of 3 Zondas.

The new Zonda will be powered by a 750 horsepower V12 derived from the Mercedes CLK GTR, and have 523 ft-lbs of torque. For reference, the ridiculously fast Zonda F makes 594 horsepower. The release of this new car is surely a competitive response to Ferrari’s FXX and the Maserati MC-12, as this will be a track-only car. As you can see, the Zonda R is lighter, longer, lower, and likely wider than the current Zonda F, and only shares 10% of it’s parts. It also has some very nice aerodynamic improvements that plants the car firmly to the ground.

[…] Yes, I know this is a picture of the Roadster, not the Zonda F. With Pagani’s new Zonda R on the way, the Zonda might be creeping up on this list faster than Bugatti can say “We need bigger turbos.” […]
