Italian automaker Pagani has revealed plans for a track-specific version of its Zonda supercar. Called the Zonda R, the new coupe was designed with one goal in mind: "the ultimate performance at the racetrack without any implications of rules, except for safety," the company said. It is expected to compete against the Ferrari FXX.
The Zonda R was designed from scratch, with only 10 percent of Zonda F components being
carried over. It features a 750 horsepower from Mercedes' AMG division, derived from the CLK GTR race car.
The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length by 394 mm and the track is increased
by 50mm. The bodywork and aerodynamics have been modified to offer maximum downforce.
The project began at the request of an Italo-American customer, enthusiast and proud owner
of three Zondas. It's not known how many Rs Pagani will build, but each car is expected to cost over $1.5 million.
