There are two great moments in Argentine motoring history centered around the Nürburgring and then there’s a third, a fourth-place finish at a race you’ve never heard of. Of course it’s the latter that’s the pride and joy of Argentine car enthusiasts: the story of the Torinos at the 1969 Nürburgring 84 Hours.

6:48 versus the ultimate record of 6:11 means a quasi-production car is now within 10% of the time set in the fastest Porsche sports prototype by a man who made Ayrton Senna look timid. Let’s dive into some numbers.

Do not adjust your screens: the world around this Pagani Zonda R lapping the Nurburgring in a record 6:47.5 is in fact blurry. You'll want to grab headphones and a jaw supporter, lest your chin hit the floor while watching.

You're going to want to take three minutes, put down what you're doing and watch this. Pagani put together an homage to its track-day specialist, the Zonda R. It's the finest piece of product-focused marketing we've seen in ages.

The Zonda’s insane farewell special may be old news, but would you just walk by if you saw one with its hood carapace torn asunder? You could not. Come and see the gallery of heat-rainbowed titanium below!

In the midst of cookie-cutter super cars, Pagani has brought the wildly proportioned, high horsepower hyper car back to reality. But where do they build the madness that is the Zonda? Speedhunters decided to see for themselves.

Judging by the concepts and production cars making their debuts in Geneva this week, the auto industry hasn't noticed the Carpocalypse, bringing out supercars, exotics and mega luxury vehicles. Here's everything from day one.

No, it's not the devil, although that'd be close. It's the Pagani Zonda R and although it was one thing to see the press photos, seeing it in this first live shot is breathtakingly frightening.

Just in time for the Geneva Motor Show, Pagani has graced us with 45 highly-detailed images of their new hyper-sex machine, the Zonda R. Check out all the carbon fiber and titanium goodness inside.
