<< Prev Page 2 of 2 Built as a pure-bred racing car, the Zonda R's interior was equipped with only the bare necessities. In its original guise, the car sported a full width, adjustable rear wing, massive rear diffusor and a sizeable splitter. During the development period, much work focused on the splitter and front intakes, which substantially grew in size. Another striking feature was the roof-mounted airbox, which directly fed the big V12 engine.
Although work started late in 2006, the Zonda R did not debut until the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. It was later also demonstrated at the Goodwood Festival of Speed where it impressed with its raw pace and the glorious howl of the race-bred V12. Even more impressive was the 6:47 lap-time recorded at the Nürburgring set in June 2010 by Marc Basseng. Pagani initially intended to produce ten examples but due to the demand, this was increased to fifteen.
Well over a year after the Zonda was replaced by the Huayra, Pagani quietly revealed an 'Evoluzione' version of the 'R' at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Externally it can be distinguished from the earlier examples by a distinct fin on the rear deck. It is believed to be powered by a 760 bhp version of the engine and it has already been sighted at the Nürburgring in the hands of Bernd Schneider. << Prev Page 2 of 2
