After releasing the ultimate road-going Zonda, the
F Clubsport last year, Horacio Pagani set about honing his beloved – and brilliantly executed – Zonda project for the ultimate performance on the racetrack. Using the familiar M120 Mercedes-AMG V12 engine – similar to that of the Mercedes-Benz , the R will sport 750 horses – an improvement of over 100 horsepower over its road-biased brethren. But most importantly, the car will share just 10% of its components with the Zonda F. The wheelbase is longer, length is up, and the track widened. The net result of this is sure to be, much like the mythical Ferrari FXX and Maserati MC12 Corsa customer track cars, a stunningly effective and emotive experience worth every penny of the million-plus euro asking price.
