Pagani Zonda F Prototype Spotted Testing In U.S.
August 7th, 2008
The 2010 Pagani Zonda F prototype was spotted testing in the U.S. In case some of you have not been able to keep up - the Zonda F was first known as the C12 - which debuted all the way back in 1999 during the Geneva Motor Show. Since that time it has been given many changes including different names.
Up front, this next-generation Zonda F will get an all-new front clip. In back, the rear quarter panels have been re-sculpted to allow for significantly increased airflow. The rear diffuser has also been redesigned and there is a totally new air scoop that sticks up from the middle of the engine cover.
Pagani Zonda And Mercedes SL65 AMG Spotted Testing Together
July 29th, 2008
A spy shot of two test mules described as the Pagani Zonda and Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series has surfaced all across the web and many of us are wondering why the two are testing together. The only obvious answer is that they both share the same powerful engine stored underneath their hoods.
While that may be the case, it could be a simple instance of AMG doubling-up on their test time, since Pagani renewed its engine deal with the Mercedes tuning house. Previous reports suggested that the supercharged V8 from the outgoing SLR McLaren could be flipped around for duty in the next-gen Zonda, however the SL65 Black uses a much larger 600hp twin-turbo V12.
Pagani Zonda R
July 25th, 2008
The Pagani Zonda R was made to be driving around the racetrack with the ultimate performance and not bound by any rules. The only rules they wish to follow are those of safety -which could never and should never be crossed.
The drawings for the Zonda R were first designed and ready in September of 2006. Designers sought hard to seek the approval of Mercedes-AMG to supply them with a powerful engine. The engine was indeed built by the racing specialists at Mercedes AMG, where the championship winning DTM cars are born, as well as the CLK GTR, probably the most devastating and effective weapon ever to compete in the GT series. From it’s engine the Zonda R borrows the basic architecture including an ingenious dry sump allowing a low centre of gravity.
Pagani Zonda F Becomes ‘King Of The Road’
October 19th, 2007
Any supercar that can drive around the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife will become a legend but only one will hold the top title - fastest production car. This title will give the supercar fame and recognition - that is until someone comes and knocks it down.
The Pagani Zonda F, named after F1 driver Juan Manuel Fangio, is a supercar that has taken this record to new heights and set a new laprecord for Supersportcars at the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife race track. The Pagani Zonda F Clubsport has shaved nearly two tenths of a second off the Carrera GT’s time to post a sizzling lap in 7:27:82. It may not sound like much of a margin, but when you’re in the stratosphere, every inch counts.
