2010 Pagani Zonda R is equipped with a 6.0 liter. V-12 from the Mercedes-Benz AMG, has a huge capacity of 750 hp (552 kW) and 710 Nm of torque. United engine with 6 speed gearbox. A car at 394 mm longer than the previous model of Zonda, the wheelbase has increased by 47 mm and 50 mm at planting.
Wondering why the owner of an exclusive supercar like the Pagani Zonda S Roadster would paint his car in pink? The simple answer is because he can and in case you're wondering, the 'Barbie-doll' Zonda was photographed in front of the Marina Mandarin Hotel in Singapore.
With Pagani's upcoming retirement of its Zonda supercar, the Italian manufacturer is making room for the next dramatic project: the 2011 Pagani C9. This includes approval of a new factory that will be three times bigger than the current Pagani facility and will be ready in time for the launch of the C9 in 2010.
The new car will be built in far greater numbers than the Zonda, which was only available in select markets and had production limited to 16 units each year. The new C9 will have a much wider release and is being called a "global model" by the automaker.
The C9 is currently in development with four different prototypes. The automaker is now testing their endurance and versatility before deciding which will be produced at the upcoming factory. It is also worth noting that Pagani's new car is even more unusual for the fact that, save for the powertrain, it's being produced entirely in-house.
Despite the fact that fewer than 100 cars have been built by Pagani since the Zonda C12 was introduced in 1999, its cars have been well known and dreamed about in the enthusiast community. Wild, race-bred looks wrapped around an interior second only to one crafted by God himself are the name of the game for the small Italian firm. It's a Ferrari Enzo except even more psychotic. That is, until last year when Ferrari debuted the FXX track car to be sold in low volume to hand-picked buyers for over $2,000,000. The Zonda R Clubsport is the answer to that car.
Power for the Zonda R comes from a 7.3-liter V-12 sourced from the AMG shop at Mercedes-Benz. Output is a dizzying 750 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque. And as with other Paganis, exhaust gasses are released through four pipes arranged in a square in the center of the car's rear. Between the body, the giant rear wing, and the countless spoilers and diffusers, there's enough carbon fiber on this car to slow up NASA space shuttle construction for months. And while it appears that those spoilers are responsible for 100 percent of the increase in overall length, the Zonda R's wheelbase is actually slightly longer than other models. Pagani hasn't announced a price for the R yet, but frankly, we don't even want to know. We just want a ride.
