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 »

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]
