*Pagani Zonda Roadster F



The Roadster F bears last initial of the late F1 champion (and Pagani Zonda design contributor) Juan Manuel Fangio to reflect its enhanced performance versus the stock Roadster. Pagani first unveiled the convertible in 2006 and borrows the same weight reduction techniques as the Zonda F a modified front end and spoiler, new venting, and a hydroformed intake chamber all contribute to its weight of 1.36 US tons. More and improved headlamps are also present. For the Roadster F, Pagani achieved a unique feat in maintaining chassis stiffness near that of the coupe without adding weight: by using clever design instead of simply bulking up the window sills, the ex-Lamborghini automaker avoided adding 77 pounds to the car's weight. Only 25 examples of the car will be made over its history.
