Pagani Launches the Zonda R

05.02.09

The Zonda R is born from owner Horatio Pagani’s dreams. “The car’s long been a crazy dream of mine, but I never expected to find so many people who were just as crazy,” he told Autocar. There will only be sixteen cars produced, and only five remain up for grabs.

Pagani is right to call this car crazy. The Zonda R sports a 6.0-liter Mercedes-Benz V-12 engine and is the product of further development on the 6.0-liter V-12 found in the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR race car from the late 1990s. The engine produces a monstrous 739 hp and 524 lb-ft of torque.

The cars basic body structure is built from a woven mix of carbon fiber and titanium and is the first car in the world to use the material. The special weave is four times the cost of ordinary carbon fiber, but can easily be absorbed into the cars €1.4 million ($1.8 million) price tag. Using the exotic material helps the Zonda R achieve a curb weight of just 2300 lbs.
