Geneva 2011 in Review

Geneva! Once again, the Geneva 2011 Auto Salon revealed some great cars! Here is our review of the Pagani Zonda's replacement; the Huayra. We are also providing specs on the Spanish GTA Spano! Enjoy!

Pagani revealed the Zonda's replacement; the Huayra. The car includes a Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo M158 V12, producing 700 horsepower and 1000Nm of torque. To start the design, the car features bi-xenon headlamps from the Zonda R, and LED daytime running lights. The rear bumper integrates a diffuser and features the four central exhaust outlets. The new central monocoque is made of carbon-titanium, while gullwing doors have been added. A titanium exhaust system was added to the vehicle, which is engineered by MHG-Fahrzeugtechnik and uses race proven technologies.

The Spanish-built GTA Spano was also part of the extremely-exotic group in Geneva. After making an appearance in Monaco, GT Motors displayed the car in red. A limited edition of 99 models of GTA Spano will be produced, while the car retails in Europe for € 600,000 (£ 496,000). Performance is at it's best, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in under 3 seconds and having a top speed of over 350km/h.

First full photos of Zonda HH Revealed!

Remeber we told you that Pagani would make a special edition Zonda for a lucky american custumer. Well, some photos were revealed not long ago to show what the car will look like when it is finished being made. Enjoy the three photos!

One-off Pagani Zonda HH

The news is out; a very lucky American man asked Horacio Pagani to make a special version of the Zonda for him. It will be called the HH, and is the second one-off car from Pagani. The other one was the Zonda Uno.

The car will have the same engine as the Zonda Cinque; a 7.3 liter V12 engine. The engine will produce 678 horses and 780lb-ft of torque. The curb weight is to be at 1210kg while the car will reach 100km/h in 3.4 seconds. Finally, the car will have a top speed of 350km/h (217mph)!

Here is the owner's explanation:

It turned out to be even cooler, though. I have basically commissioned Pagani to build me a special one-off that is going to be called the Pagani Zonda HH. It will use most of the bodywork of a Zonda F Roadster, but have the upgraded 680hp Cinque engine as well as the carbon-titanium tub, ceramic coated titanium exhaust, etc. The car is going to weigh around 1210kg (2670 pounds). I am currently in the midsts of designing this car with Mr. Pagani and his team of designers. It is going to be complete this year.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I certainly don’t fit the standard profile of Zonda owners these days. The majority of recent customers either run their own countries, are part of some royal family, sheiks, or distinctively old money. So I think it is been fun for the Pagani team to deal with someone who actually still have to worry what stuff costs and is about the same age as many of the employees.

The color is likely going to be Monterey Blue or a close variety of that. I have wanted a Lamborghini in that color since forever, but it never came to pass, so now I am trying it on the Zonda. We are currently playing with a few yellow highlights as well, but that is not a sure thing yet.

The design and the specs are indeed an open buffet of everything Pagani has worked on with the Zonda for the last 10 years. I have been picking and choosing stuff. My car, I believe, is going to be the only stick car mated with the new, more powerful engine. Most of the recent cars have been paddle cars. Which is kinda funny, because usually I love paddles, but for the Zonda, it seems to fit very well as a manual. The car is very much a simple, mechanical car. Not a lot of computers in there, so a stick seemed to fit it as well.

The default choice, though, is to use the newest of everything. So center-lock wheels, the new F1-based ceramic coated titanium exhaust system (it is stunning, same system as you can see on the Zonda R), carbon-ceramic brakes, the carbon-titanium tub (only road car in the world using that, it’s about 30% lighter than carbon-fiber and even stronger), and of course the new 680hp AMG V12. We are currently trading renderings back and forth. They will send me a rendering and I will draw some ideas on it and we will bounce back and forth. I am hoping that we will have the visual design locked down by next week and I can share some final pictures. It is going to look like a cross between the Cinque and the F. I am not going to have the Cobra-style air intake on top (that was a little much!) and the front is F too.

Also, I am definitely buying this to drive and keep it forever. It is not going to merely sit in a garage museum somewhere, which unfortunately is true of a fair number of Zondas. Although, even at this stratospheric pricing, the Zonda has been doing very well on resale. The incredibly few cars that have come up for sale has been going for 20-30% over their sales price. But short of falling on hard times, I don’t really care. To me, this is the best looking, best driving car ever made in the history of cars. Why would I want to sell that?

So far, Pagani has made 118 Zondas. Three of them has been totalled, so there are currently 115 left. He is currently wrapping up some of the special editions, like the Zonda R and Tricolore, but the new car is coming soon, so they estimate that no more than 120-125 Zondas will ever be made. That is about the same number of cars as McLaren made of the F1.

Photos of the Day: World Cup Cars

As you guys know, the soccer world cup is going on right now in South Africa. A Ferrari Enzo and a Pagani Zonda have been restylised to show patriotism for their country! Enjoy the photos!

2011 Pagani Zonda Tricolor

To honor the 50th anniversary of Italian Fleece Tricolor, Pagani has decided to make a special version Zonda. I am 99% sure that this will be the last Zonda.

Anyway, the Tricolor is based on the Cinque Coupé. Aerodynamics are better and a few exterior adjustments (not including the beautiful paintjob!).

Finally costumers will have to pay €1.3 Million for the car.

The car is supposed to be revealed at next week's Geneva Show.

Pagani C9 Mule Spied

As you might have guessed, the
Pagani C9 Mule will be later on replacing the current Zonda. C9 is not it's official name.

Pagani has decided to downsize the engine from a 7.3liter AMG V12 to a 6.0liter V12 twin-turbos that come from the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series.

We are expecting the car to be revealed at next month's Geneva Show.

We already showed you Ferrari Day at the Bologna Motor Show, but here is a video of some Pagani Zondas at the same show:

Car news today

A few days after the famous Lamborghini Gallardo Polizia crash, another italian supercar has been destroyed; this time, it is the Pagani Zonda! This happened in Hong Kong when a man wrecked his million dollar plus supercar by backing it up into a parked car!




Like we said about a week and half ago, Japanese magazines have been giving us information about many Japanese cars. This time it is the Honda CR-Z Hybrid and the Toyota FT-86 RWD Coupe (new design). So, let's start off with the Honda; photos of the Honda CR-Z Hybrid have made themselves to the web, which mean these leaked photos mean that the car is official. The magazine also revealed complete specs and it's launch date. The car is supposed to go on sale in Japan in February of 2010, with Europe and North America following shortly after. Toyota wise, photos from a Japanese magazine called Option Car show that there will be a tuned version of the FT-86 RWD Coupe. The artist provides the looks with two-tone paint scheme as well as a bodykit and deep-dish alloy wheels.


As you might know, Porsche has been trying to buy Volkswagen, but this has been turned around completely. Volkswagen has bought Porsche! They bought them for US$5.8 billion and take up 49.9% of them. Volkswagen already own Seat, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Scania which will give them a profit of €700 million in the long term.

The Evolution of Supercars

The Lamborghini Reventon is great. But, wouldn't you think that it would be even greater if there was another Reventon model, the Reventon S or something like that. For example, this year, Audi revealed 2 new R8 models, the one with the V10 engine and the one with the V12 engine. Well, today, I'm going to talk about 2 cars that also evaluated from from their single name. Here they are are: the Pagani Zonda and the Bugatti Veyron. Here are all the different models of these 2 cars.

Store a Pagani Zonda R in your living room

The replacement for the Pagani Zonda is scheduled to arrive sometime next year. In order to commemorate this supercar Horacio Pagani has designed one more version. This newest version of the famous supercar – the Pagani Zonda R – was in development for 24 months and was built as a track only variant.

The Zonda

If you are a super car-loving person,then you will like this car. It is called the Zonda, or Pagani Zonda F, to be precise. It is one of the fastest car on he planet. Its interior is beautiful. It usually is red leather. It handles quite well, but it isn't still the best car at handling. Its top speed is around 200-235 mph. It can go from 0 kph-100 kph in 4.8 seconds. This super car is incredible. Even better than that, it is
the Zonda.
