Pagani Zonda And Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Palling Around

Derek D and the boys at Fast Lane Daily have scored an interesting pic of the next-gen Pagani Zonda buddying up with the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black for high-altitude testing in Colorado. This, of course, sets up rumors the new Zonda will have the same 6-liter V12 expected in the Blackest of SL's, instead of the anticipated V8. We're pretty sure nobody in the supercar world will complain about a frenetic 600 HP V12 making noise in the new Pagani. Check out the Fast Lane Daily video below the fold for details, and the shout-out to yesterday's shocking BMW F1 news. More »

Pagani Zonda Cinque, A Street Legal Zonda R, First Picture

As much as we all love the Pagani Zonda R, it's one of those cars so ridiculously out of reach we have to avoid thinking about it sometimes. Powered by an AMG-sourced V12, the Zonda R and Zonda F Clubsport are among the most extreme track toys our weak minds can imagine. We sadly reported last year that Pagani would stop making roadgoing cars for a while, meaning that owning a Zonda would be that much more impossible. Alas, if a poster at Teamspeed.com isn't indulging in a flight of fancy it may be that the company is about to release a street legal version of the Zonda R called the Pagani Zonda Cinque.

New V8-Powered Pagani Zonda Spotted Again?

We've been told to expect a new version of the Pagani Zonda that supposedly will ditch the big ol' Mercedes V12 in favor of a smaller new V8. Now we've got even more evidence to support the case thanks to AutoExpress. They've been kind enough to bring us these sneaky photos showing us up-close details of the new car.

V8-Powered Pagani Zonda In Action?

We dig the Pagani Zonda. It doesn't just have beautifully crafted details and fantastic style, it's got all the speed and power to back it up. But that big Mercedes 7.3-liter V12 has been around for a while now. So what's the plan for future models? Word is that Pagani is planning on switching to good ol' V8 grunt. Some people are guessing it'll be the dry-sump lump from the McLaren SLR, but we'll let you listen to this clip and decide for yourself.

New Pagani Zonda Test Mule?

The Pagani Zonda has been shooting fire out of the encircled quadruple exhaust tips now for going on eight years. It's getting mighty long in the tooth with all the modern supercars robber barons today have at the ready. Spies have snapped what appears to be a way to change that — a suspicious-looking Zonda with a funny looking engine cover and ducting in places we've never before seen. There's no word on whether or not the new car will be wearing the Zonda badge, but it will likely see a decrease in cylinder count from twelve to eight, but that doesn't mean power won't stay put.

Pagani Stereo System Has Zonda Exhaust Bass

The dragons have definitely perked their ears for this, a Pagani stereo system that features two very conveniently located Zonda-style exhausts. Not surprising, but the entire system is made from aluminum and carbon fiber. I don't have to be the one to tell you that this is mighty sexy, although all of the knobs, platters and buttons in the middle seem to be mighty confusing. More »

Tirrito Vajon! The Mystery Italian Supercar!

Those who know it call it the "TIRRITO VAJON rtt." To the rest of us, it's a mystery. All we can figure is that it has a McLaren F1-style 3-seater cockpit and it's styling is like a cross between a Pagani Zonda and 1990 Mosler Consulier GTP. Maybe it's a kit-car? Maybe it's a garage-built one-off? Other details are slim, but the Italian owner claims "it's a car with engine of 3000 cc biturbo rear traction" Whatever the case, an overly-ambitious project like this is a shining example of making the most from what you have. We'll keep you updated as we find out more. In the mean time, jump to enjoy some video of it in action as it drifts 'round a round-a-bout! More »

Zonda v. GT-R At Nurburgring, Who Will Win?


The ultimate measure of performance for many supercars is the lap time around the Nurburgring. We told you about Toyota letting loose the rumor about the LF-A setting the record lap over various other supercars. Here's a well synched shootout between the venerable Zonda F against a lap from the almost as venerable and certainly more affordable Nissan GT-R. It's a good way to spend more than 7 minutes back at work. (h/t Franzouse) [Source: YouTube]

question of the day

Koenigsegg CCX vs. Pagani Zonda

Thursday's Bugatti vs. McLaren debate was fun, no? The McLaren handily won, garnering just over 65% of the vote. And I don't think anyone is too shocked by that result. Given the choice between pre-meltdown Jenna Jameson and Taylor Rain, the true connoisseur chooses Miss Rain. Every time. Ahem. Today we're presenting you the two other hypercars to scream at each other over debate and discuss. We think the Koenigsegg is better looking and we know it's faster. Still, the Pagani simply screams ultra-exotic and really does seem to have been designed by an alien race. Other than that, I mean, yeah... how do you decide? It'd be like choosing between Sophie Evans and Jenna Haze. More »

Pagani Zonda F on the 'Ring, Cinematic Edition

While most driver-POV videos on the Nürburgring offer production values equal to a home movie of Howe Caverns, this HD clip of a 'ringward jaunt in a Zonda F is a cinematic wonder, nearly on par with the famed Ferrari Shell commercial. It even has a snappy follow-along map for you N-ring-turn geeks. (Raise your hands.) Start it and hit pause until it spools up a bit, to avoid annoying blips. (Thanks to Giuseppe for the tip.)

Ring of Fire: Pagani Zonda F Clubsport Takes the Nurburgring Fastest Lap

What a difference two tenths of a second make. The Pagani Zonda F Clubsport recently made it around Germany's Nürburgring faster then the previous production-car record holder, the Porsche Carrera GT. The lightweight, super hi-po Zonda did the Green Hell's 14.2 miles in 7:27:82, edging out the Porsche's 7:28. The Mercedes 7.3-liter V12 powered Zonda's combination of massive power (641 hp), low weight (2700 lbs) and massive downforce conspired to give the Zonda a hair's breadth advantage. Yes, but will it blend? [Winding Road]

Pagani Reveals New Zonda R Renderings

Because the old Zonda wasn't bat guano enough, right? This sucker seems to have been born from the same design chic that hatched the Countach 5000QV. That is to say, "Josepi, if you find any flat surfaces, put a scoop in 'em. Also, definitely needs more wing." Apparently more power (up to 750 horses) and carbon fiber, too. The new track-focused Zonda is longer and wider than the "regular" Zonda. In fact, the two cars will only share 10% of their parts. We just like how it looks a tiny bit like an Audi R10, because we so love the Audi R10. We'll supposedly be seeing this particular track-car next spring at the Geneva Auto Show. [Motor Authority]

Pagani Zonda: Say Goodbye to an Instant Classic

A few months back at Top Marques Monaco, I heard some slightly distressing news. Not only would there not be a Pagani Zonda F Roadster available to drive for the foreseeable future, but they also had just five left for sale. And that will be the end of the Zonda, one of the few supercar success stories in recent years. Not quite, in fact, as the Zonda F track project has gathered momentum and we can expect a backslapping, $1 million+ Ferrari FXX-style project. But in terms of the road cars then the end is nigh, and the high-rolling Top Marques show might have pushed it over the edge into extinction. They'll need to build the remaining cars, but that will be that until 2008. More »

Geneva Pre-Show Pagani Zonda R Revealed

Days after leaked images revealed Pagani's new Zonda R clubsport (that's a club we wouldn't mind getting hazed for), official word has come from the Italian supercar builder on its newest model. The track-only Zonda R will get a 750-hp (523 ft-lbs of torque) version of the Mercedes AMG-sourced, 7.3-liter V12 that produces 680 hp in the Zonda F clubsport (594 hp in the street model). It'll be 40 cm longer nose to tail, with a slightly longer wheelbase. More pics to come from the land of the midnight cheese products. – Mike Spinelli More »

Geneva Pre-Show: Pagani Zonda R Club Racer

Now here's something. According to the super Swedes at Sportbilen.se, this is the car Pagani plans to show off in Geneva [NOTE: Actually, it's a conceptual rendering by a design student. Carry on NOTE 2: New rendering up. May be ore accurate. Grain of salt, and all that.]. It's called the Zonda R. It's a non-street-legal club racer powered by some manner of 750-hp Mercedes V12. It's Pagani's track-day version of the Ferrari Enzo Fxx and Maserati MC12. Compared to its street legal, $700,000 Zonda sibling, the R model is longer, lighter and lower, and has a longer wheelbase for the kind of stability only a slingshot dragster can provide. Only we're betting it can take corners too. More to come. – Mike Spinelli More »

Horacio Alger: Pagani's Philiosophy

Horacio Pagani started out as the son of Argentine bakers. We wish this stupid cop-chopper would stop circling. Seriously, po-pos, either catch the perp or go home. Sheesh. Anyway, Mister Pagani, like many insane visionaries, bootstrapped himself by building trailers and racing cars. Er. Racing cars. Er, well, whatever. Anyway, if you can wade through the purple ESL prose of the linked piece, it's an interesting look at the man's ideas about automotive design and construction. Meanwhile, we're about to reach for our revolver. Really. Stop circling, dammit! – Davey G. Johnson More »

Rascally Rabbit: Japan Tuning Shop's MR2-Based Pagani Zonda Clone

Rabbit, a Japan-based Porsche tuning shop, wants to put you in a Pagani Zonda for $50,000. Sound like a scam? Ok, so it's not a real, AMG V12-powered Pagani Zonda, but the Rabbit PG-Z will indeed play one on TV (if that's your thing). Using the Toyota MR2 as a starting point, the Rabbit bunch is creating the PG-Z to be a veritable Zonda doppelganger. They're only in the prototype stages — that's a hand-built wooden prototype in the picture, says AutoWeek — but the're serious about rendering it for real. They're just showing it off to gauge interest. Interested? [Gallery] – Mike Spinelli More »

Music Videos Make Anyone Look Fast: Danica Patrick Shows Jay-Z And Dale Jr. What She's Got

Quickly, before YouTube ganks it again — and thanks to our brother/sister site obsessed with all things music — check out Jay-Z's latest music video, "Show Me What You Got" — featuring Danica Patrick in a Pagani Zonda S out-racing a Ferrari F430 driven by none other than Dale Earnhardt, Jr. — with Mr. Shawn Carter (aka Hova, aka S.Dot, aka Hov, aka Jigga, aka Lucky Lefty, aka Iceberg Slim, aka — ok, you get the picture, Jay-Z's got a lot of nicknames) in the passenger seat. You know, we kind of feel like this is totally a race Danica could win — one where she's got a car fully 70 hp faster than the competition. Still, we totally know Jay-Z's just going to say he lost cause she weighs less than he and Dale Jr. [Hat tip to will!] – Ray Wert More »
