Pagani Zonda
There have only been around 100 Zondas ever manufactured. But everyone has heard of them.
Stunning. I think with this finish and all the exterior flourishes, the supreme hi-grade engineering suitably couples the stylistic excesses perfectly. One sight of this car instantly renders all other vehicles as utterly staid and bland.
For me, the big story of the Zonda is that glorious, 7.3 litre aluminium DOHC, 48 valve, V12, M120 engine, that first debuted in the C12 S of 2002. Hand-reared by AMG, the M120.990 produces anywhere from 540bhp to 740bhp, depending on application. Considering that it has seen service in two generations of S-class and the R129 SL, then it will make a stripped out R Clubsport, veritably fly. Made in very limited numbers, the supply line for these engines has stopped, necessitating Pagani to seek a new powerplant partner.
A considerable shame, as in my book, alongside the BMW S70/2, BMW N62 family, Jaguar V12 and the Chevy Small-Block V8, it is, quite simply, one of the all-time great engines.

I haven't enough superlatives for the Zonda., and I wish they were road legal in North America so I could fantasize about seeing one going down the street one day.
Hi mate,
Not road-legal? That's a fact I wasn't aware of. I take it, it's due to the extensive crash test participation that Horatio wouldn't want to go through?
Zondi are particularly stunning automotive sculptures, btw. So, sorry you're missing out! Incroiable!
I think it's more emissions than crashworthiness, but it could well be both. That V12, however magnificent, probably wasn't designed with ULEV status in mind.
Good excuse for a Monegasque vacation though.

There is 1 zonda that can legally be driven in america, not sure where i saw this, might have been the latest issue of EVO...
I have seen 2 Zonda S's one the road, but sadly no F, which would be my ultimate goal as i love those things!!!!
Hows the arab car spotting going Mr.Koi??
There are many types of windshield damage that can be repaired using special equipment and glass repair resin. Common types of breaks such as the bullseye, half moon and star can be repaired if they are less than the size of a quarter, and are not in the driver's direct line of sight.minnesota auto glass
