[mx512p]

ya I was wondering aobut that too... is it F or R? and does anybody have any more or pics of this... pref in high res

I don't know what's the real name, in the article it's Zonda F, but in the pics the name is Zonda R.

This pics are the only that I've found, and they're not in good quality.

As reported by Autocar magazine:

Exclusive Italian supercar maker Pagani will reveal a facelifted version of its Zonda C12 next year, before an all-new, more extreme model arrives in 2007. The latest C12 will be shown at the Geneva show next March, and features subtle exterior modifications but key changes beneath the skin. Power from the AMG Mercedes-sourced 7.3-litre V12 is expected to rise from 547bhp to around 630bhp, although final numbers will become available at the completion of engine testing.

Pagani also claims a 50kg weight reduction for the Coupé version, which should mean a power-to-weight ratio of around 475bhp per tonne – enough to match a Ferrari Enzo. Bigger 20in wheels will be fitted to allow larger Brembo brakes, while minor styling revisions will, Pagani says, add 40 per cent more downforce.

The all-new model, codenamed C9, is said to be even lighter than the C12 and powered by another naturally aspirated Mercedes V12 engine. The prices shouldn’t stray far from the current £285,000, despite the numerous upgrades.

Ditto, it'll be interesting to see if it beats the CGT and he Enzo.

according to someone i know who has driven a zonda (yes, that lucky bastard ) the zonda is basically a european elise with a hell of alot more power. i like how this is starting to sound

The first post said the hp boost would make the power/weight about equal to that of teh enzo, so it all comes down to handeling and areo-dynamics.

well, the zonda with 555 horses......didnt it have a 3.4 second to 60? now with almost 100 more horses.......this really is starting to sound very good!
