2012 Pagani Huayra

The eternity of the element air. Soft and stylish, but the wind can erode even the hardest materials birth to distinctive forms known in the wild. Sleek and muscular Pagani Huayra merges past, present and future in a timeless interpretation of the art car.

The car's design has been cut over the next five years to find the beginning and end of each line. This study during the eight models were created, as well as two models of 1:01, each of the previous developments in the endless attempt to perfect the shape and material processing.
 
2012 Pagani Huayra
The bi-xenon headlights are just one of many precious gifts Zonda R, and LED daytime running lights are completely integrated into the elliptical shape of the design. The rear bumper incorporates a diffuser and is dominated by an elliptical frame around the central four exhaust outlets, is now becoming a feature of Pagani.

Spine

Plants in the new unibody Huayra Pagani is a completely new carbontitanium. However, with the butterfly doors gash on the roof, the research has focused on achieving high levels of rigidity in the application of new advanced composite materials and technologies of the first test of the Zonda R. The fuel tank is located entirely within the protected zone of the monocoque, behind the driver, reinforced safety cell in different composite materials and ballistics. Front and rear sub-frame provides exceptional strength to weight CrMo to allow the suspension to work at its best, while incorporating an advanced crash structure absorbs energy, ready to protect occupants in the unlikely event of an impact .

A never-ending quest also led to weight loss as part of their structural elements and non-structural or aesthetic. An example of integration of all ventilation systems, carried out in the monocoque structure, the use of add-ons and unnecessary channels.

As a result of attention to detail is the weight of the vehicle so that 1.350 kg Pagani Huayra lightweight sports car in its class.

Heart

Mercedes-AMG offers Huayra Pagani center. The 60-degree 12-cylinder turbocharged with a displacement of 5980 cm3 developed not only to meet the stringent technical and quality requirements but also to give the car its many faces.

Peace and harmony to run one of the best GT cars in the world stops when the driver called Pagani Huayra to release its power from 700 to 1000 Nm of torque. The turbos are designed to provide immediate response to any throttle input, which gives the driver full control over the engine for any diet and the prevention of unwanted delays in the supply of energy.

The engine systems are designed and tested to withstand the most adverse conditions of temperature and performance. The Pagani Huayra were exposed to the heights of Death Valley and the bottom of the Arctic Circle. The two lateral radiators are placed at the front to maximize the cooling efficiency of the intercooler is located above the cylinder heads. Dry sump lubrication ensures optimum oil supply to the engine, even when the car is exposed to extreme lateral accelerations. It also regulates the oil flow, so that the necessary amount of lubricant is actually pumped into the engine from the external oil tank, reducing friction in an excessive amount of lubricant in the sump. A heat exchanger oil / water reduces the heating time by the engine lubrication during cold starts and keeps the coolant and lubricant operating temperatures stable. Extensive weight-saving programs leads to brilliant but simple solutions.

To reduce the pipes and connections as possible, it is integrated directly into the engine. Intercooler expansion vessels are covered by low-temperature circuit and the circuit of the engine coolant. Vertical fins contribute to the cooling tanks.

The M158 engine is certified to meet stringent environmental regulations, and LEV2 EU5. Despite the increased power compared to other Mercedes-AMG V12 developed by Pagani, CO2 emissions and fuel consumption is reduced by Pagani Huayra ruling class among the 12 cylinder sports car respective values ​​that are much smaller vehicles on the market. The two-tier system of fuel supply pumps are two microprocessor-controlled fuel to the engine with the second pump is activated only when needed, reducing the energy required to operate the fuel pumps and removes excess waste fuel transported and heated in the fuel lines. This efficiency, along with a large tank of 85 liters of fuel to ensure the ability of Pagani Huayra tour.

As a tribute to the tradition of ten years of manufacturing engines of Mercedes-AMG in the kind of world sports, the M158 AMG emblem shows the history of the intake manifold next to the name of the technician who assembled the motor hand on the seat Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach, Germany.

The titanium exhaust system was manipulated by HG-Fahrzeugtechnik and is a direct use of race-proven technologies in a road car with high performance and complete exhaust weighs less than 10 kg. Hydro-shaped junctions are used to reduce pressure and cons to ensure a free flow of exhaust gases. Titanium offers a lightweight in the region of the exhaust, while ensuring reliability in the parts of Inconel exhaust most exposed to high temperatures. Particular attention was paid to the optimization of its sound, leading to a harmonic rumble at idle with a hint of the power that lies at low speed and a thunderous rumble of the engine and the air, reminiscent an aircraft at high speeds.

Feet

The prodigious power and torque generated by Pagani Huayra V12 is transferred to the wheels through a sequential gearbox transverse seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and weighs just 96 kg complete. Keep the weight of the rear overhang lowest possible is a priority we are aiming for a neutral position to the limit. Another advantage of this arrangement is a better handling car during a rear impact. A dual clutch has been evaluated, but ultimately unsuccessful, as that would have increased the weight of about 70kg, thus negating any change slight improvement over time.

Xtrac gearbox already provided Zonda R, so it was a natural choice for the development of new high-performance braking. Xtrac expertise in motor sports was evident throughout the design and material selection processes led to the gearbox can be stronger and lighter is suitable for road use, where the synchronization window, offering comfort, a change machine travel will never be able to offer.

Suspension geometry has been designed to further enhance the presence of sure-footed nature already has a longer wheelbase, Pagani Zonda Huayra. Suspension arms made of forged an individual have been tested extensively Avional double Zonda R program. Incorporated into the wheel hub assemblies are the cooling channels, which connect directly to the brackets, thus extending the reliability and bearing life. Push rod motorized adjustable Öhlins shock absorbers to keep the situation under control and has been optimized for the dynamic needs of the vehicle.

"Power is nothing without control ..."

Pirelli said that "power is nothing without control" and to ensure complete control of the controller Pirelli has developed the measurement of P Zero tires, specifically for Huayra Pagani. Pirelli engineers have been facing a demanding task, which combines the thrill ride at the wheel and low rolling resistance to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. P Zero tires these are built in a dedicated MIRS ™ (Modular Integrated Robotics) Facilities dedicated to the production of ultra high performance tires and are at the forefront of what is technically possible, appropriate for a top speed of more than 370 kilometers per hour and lateral forces of more than 1.5 G.

Skin

The concept of aerodynamic Pagani Huayra is that one wing. The vehicle can alter the properties of this wing by varying the front ride height can be adjusted dynamically, and adjusting the four components of control over each of the four corners of the car. The goal is to have a neutral behavior of the vehicle at all times and roll control by aerodynamic means. The behavior of the components is managed by a dedicated control unit which is fed by information from the ABS and the computer, which transmits information on the vehicle speed, yaw rate, lateral acceleration, steering angle and position accelerator.

The system improves aerodynamic efficiency in a variety of driving conditions, where a coefficient of resistance is not the determining factor. During braking, for example, the shutters on the front and rear suspension rose to counteract the weight shift and balance the weight distribution between front and rear, allowing better use of the braking force back .

Another design for Huayra vital tenant was to ensure clean air in the car body. The shape of the two air intakes of the engine behind the occupants of the shoulders are a tribute to the supersonic aircraft in late 1950 and 1960, but also help engine breathing, without interrupting traffic. Admission to the gearbox radiator is located between the bay window of the engine and valve cover carbon rear, which provides airflow to the radiator without a good substantial impact on aerodynamic drag. This decision also resulted in the omission of a rear spoiler, replaced by mobile flaps.

The openings should the car was also carefully studied. The coils are bent to participate in the downforce and provide the best flow of hot air can escape. Central cooling air is extracted from the mouths in front of the bonnet and the bottom of the front wheel arch. Radiator side air will be supplied through the cooling channels of the brake discs and wheel hubs. This blows air over the brake temperature of about 50 ° C, heating up the brakes when it is cold, and improve significantly the first bite. Side vents behind the front wheels to create a negative pressure in the wheelhouse, offering efficient extraction of a lower drag coefficient and produces a front downforce.

In addition to the support generated by the panels and the bodies of two high pressure areas designed in the shape of the bodywork and rear diffuser, and thereby increase the aerodynamic stability and guarantees Pagani Huayra support anyway.

Man and machine

Once the doors are closed Pagani Huayra transports passengers to a new dimension, a world that surprises and pleases the senses. To have everything at arm's length is not close enough for a vehicle with the capabilities of the Pagani Huayra. Therefore, the driver can find all the primary functions directly on the wheel. The shift paddles are mounted directly on the steering wheel so the driver never needs to take your hands off the steering wheel. The seats offer comfort to both make long journeys comfortable and lateral support necessary when the g-forces build up on the track.

Pagani is an opportunity to present the drivers at the forefront of cutting edge solutions, leveraging the rich history that precedes it. The focus is still on the life that breathes, rather than digital. This can be seen throughout leather closures of switches, but that philosophy finds its purest expression in the assembly of mechanical shifter aluminum, a monument to the art of developing the manual transmission is not to deny the past . The aluminum panel is based on the most complex designs and includes a center of Swiss watch multi-function display that shows relevant information about the performance when the Sport mode is engaged and an onboard computer when the comfort mode is activated . The center console is machined aluminum with an aluminum block and has a wide range of clarinet style mechanical switches control the HVAC system.

High definition touch screen is the heart of the system of the vehicle information and entertainment center, audio controls, satellite navigation, secondary vehicle functions and Bluetooth phone.

On the road

To date, five prototypes were built, what the road tests in the last 4 years. Currently, more than half a million miles have been covered by our prototypes and before entering the U.S. market, which have reached one million kilometers of testing.

Each prototype has been assigned a specific task of development. Mercedes-AMG you are used to develop the driving skills, and another is used for program development. A car driven continuously by Bosch Engineering to the use of ABS and stability of advanced systems and better performance. Yet another vehicle is used for transmission tests, and overall vehicle dynamics development.

Security

The car meets the strictest European and American standards in terms of safety rules and pollution. Several studies have been conducted to determine the most frequent types of accidents, high performance cars. The results of these studies, we must develop specific safety measures are not required by law, but to ensure better protection for passengers. Several cars were used for these tests.

Legend

Ancient legends tell us Indians Huayra Tata, the wind god, who commands the winds, blizzards and winds that invade the mountains, rocks and hills of the highlands of the Andes. It is said that Tata Huayra lives deep in the peaks and valleys, leaving them only the power to show his wife Pachamama, the goddess of Mother Earth. Tata Power Huayra was able to collect the waters of Lake Titicaca, and rain them down on a fertile Pachamama. Tata Huayra when asleep, and rivers provides a quiet area. But the calm before the storm was interrupted ...

2011 Pagani Huayra

2011 Pagani Huayra Review

Seven years of hard work, Horacio Pagani is now able to give us a brief history and the path that led to the birth of Huayra, the project name of C9.
 

The concept was born in 2003, the year of the introduction of the Zonda Roadster S. As you may remember the early 2000s were prosperous for the world of supercars. Commit to the major automobile manufacturers have contributed to the rise of extraordinary cars like Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes SLR McLaren.

This correlation led us to make several observations on the future of Zonda, and this could be a new Pagani. Since the original design of the Zonda has been done in the early 90's first thought was that it was now obsolete and a project we decided to imagine the car completely different in shape, dimension, dynamics and technology, all without losing the essence of our approach to follow a concept born in the Renaissance, when Leonardo da Vinci said that the art and science are disciplines that need to go next. Air eternal element in all its forms, including wind, was crucial in the definition, and it was a great inspiration, a sit is always present in our lives: a reaction turbine, the silence of a Glider ... elegance of movement creates wind ... but also the violence and power that can trigger.


Huayra consists of more than 4000 pieces (engine and transmission not included). You can create them and put them together requires creativity, patience and passion that I shared a fantastic team and young, the most competent partner in all areas.

Determine the size, I immediately thought of the car, it would be longer than the Zonda, the track increased by 70 mm, 40 mm cottage station moved back and more spacious. Silhouette is soft, easy to read and form a line of self-slim and stylish, with a clear beginning and an end.

Because the style is concerned about these five years we have tried to find the best compromise between working models of 8:02, filled with hundreds of scale models and drawings without ever leaving the original idea, and attention to detail.
 

The ideas were elliptical shapes that recall of our brand in front and back, keeping the central exhaust as the completion of the line of the canopy, the line starts at the headlight area continues and ends in the making air. We thought from the beginning of the aerodynamic force. Components that are activated depending on the study results obtained by calculations and aerodynamic testing. The whole car is shaped like a wing, so it was necessary to create a high forehead to reduce the length of the upper part of the wing to counter the lift.
The front suspension and four active tabs let optimal drag coefficient of balance and support.

Mercedes-AMG engine has created a unique and easy, a twin turbo over 700 hp and 1100 Nm of torque, which fits perfectly in the car gives a feeling that motivated our research: the raw power of a plane .

Emphasis was placed on a linear power delivery which was rather late, because it could create security problems or continuous electronic control.

Mercedes-AMG has ever thought there five years on the restrictions to come into the environment by creating a 12-cylinder engine is at the forefront of efficiency in terms of CO2 and consumption.

Pirelli Tyre has developed a very progressive with outstanding grip in all situations and low rolling resistance of friction. Every aspect of safety was addressed not only to observe the highest standards in the United States, but also taking into account the dynamics that most accidents with cars, high performance engine in the back occur .
 

During the development of C9 we have witnessed the evolution of different models of Zonda, and showed that the Zonda is not updated as I initially feared. The Zonda R has been a key laboratory for Huayra. The team has worked on several projects at once are on different tracks, which sometimes came to meet through the exchange of engineering concepts, materials, safety and scientific studies or design.

Pagani Huayra: open a new era agent Zonda

Thep-level sports car for the fans who do not like a regular Super Car. And annual production capacity of only a few dozen. Of course, this is a forest check the first option in the row of Niche, and I say that, this time with the new call-box that really in the past 10 years.

Granted, this company was founded by Ho Rnrci O Spa check here as early 1990, but more than that they are aggressive marketing official with a super early to stick your company logo that when I roll up to the year 1999 over there and here it is. why Huayra became the first new model sports cars than in the past 10 to replace the version of Zonda.

Huayra is a legend associated with the Aymara tribe in the mountains of a South American Andy Hill Eye Camera, which Tata is the name of the Chakri Sirindhorn of the wind. Check here and wishes to use this name to the media to see that reflected the agility. The exterior. As the performance of the car that responds provocatively typical. Super Car Brand Italy

Pagani said the sports car now. The beginning of the project. For many years. And take up to 4 years of testing on the streets around the world to be able to respond to all state routes such as hot as any in the Death Valley of California USA. Or very cold weather. The country in line at the Arctic Circle including the distance of the test more than 1 million miles, and of course check that the spa will send the U.S. market with Huayra Louis.

1350 Sport / kg body weight of the engine is placed mid-body length 4605 mm, width 2036 mm, height 1169 mm, the main materials used in the production of a CFRP is carbon fiber and aluminum.

Although the flavor of the Zonda remain, especially in front of tanks designed to the same arrowhead With the headlights a little unsure on each side 2 circle the moon, but for external design. The overall look of the car is all new works. And the exposure of the sport by using the doors opened on the same pinion While the ratio of weight distribution between front and back with the number 44: 56%.

Engine is placed behind Cox pit even if it is powered V-12 block. The Mercedes-Benz - Mercedes-Benz has been Modified by AMG as Verizon Florida. But it seems that the struggle for survival in the market the next generation. That's something to control pollution and fuel consumption rates become articulate There are stringent regulations. Spa check made here to update this blog engine.

From the existing level of capacity in a 7300 cc fuel consumption with a cup of camel Pagani and AMG so I turned to the concept of adding more capacity with Turbo. Many versions of the same bus home is turned to the engine capacity 6000 cc less in muscles, but increased with twin turbo. That horse in the stable of Huayra exists in close to Zonda.

In addition, development of the engine oil system a Dry Sump Lubrication break out issues like drunk fun in Nursing at the stadium or at throwing curve, while production of titanium exhaust. Weight is lighter than the previous intake of 10 kilograms with Verizon Florida ever. No personal driving at 700 hp and maximum torque of 101.9 Uu.-am. gear semi-automatic transmission with seven strokes to drive the rear wheels.

Excitement in the foot early in the acceleration has not even said this. But the number of G forces that occur in the 1.5G at Tech to do the acceleration. Would not be identifiable to the common chassis. Meanwhile, in the end for speed. It has a number at 370 miles per hour.

The launch is the first time. Be held at the Geneva Motor Show in early March 2011, which is the Pagani Khrprahm of this work. It came out areas on a regular basis. Although the price has not been knocked. But news of the many agree that Probability level of 1 million pounds or 50 million Baht

Pagani bringing "hybrid" Zonda F Cinque

Pagani Zonda F Cinque

The Pagani Zonda F Cinque seen here isn't a hybrid as in "green," it's a hybrid of the Pagani F and the Pagani Cinque. The car, slated to star at the Geneva Auto Show, is a one-of-a-kind Pagani simply meant to hold a place in our hearts while we wait for the Pagani Cinque to arrive next year.

The car hasn't been finished yet, but the Zonda F Cinque is essentially a Zonda F in Cinque colors. That means you'll miss the roof intake and lower aero modifications of the Cinque, but you'll get the carbon fiber and silver exterior treatment, and the spoked mags with red accents. That isn't much different than a decal package, but this is a Pagani and there will only be one of them, which means we still look forward to bringing it to you next week from Geneva.

Pagani's R-rated swansong debuts

Pagani Zonda R


While the closest that most of us will ever get to driving one of Horatio Pagani's creations will be via a Playstation or xBox controller, that doesn't mean we didn't nearly puddle ourselves at the mere sight of the new Zonda R. As we somehow missed out on an invitation when the car debuted in Vienna a few weeks ago, we are nonetheless happy to bring you these first official photos.

Although the Zonda R's sexy self is a sendoff for the current model range, the exoticmaker reports that the car is in fact 90% new. Built using a spendy carbon-fiber/titanium mix (reportedly an industry first) and being at once longer, wider and lower than the Zonda F, the R figures to have real presence to go along with its 739-horsepower 6.0-liter V12 engine. Zonda says the supercar was inspired by Group C racers, and street legality was not a consideration.

Thanks in part to its light weight (1,070 kilograms, or about 2,360 pounds) and Pagani's first-ever paddleshift gearbox, the rear-drive R will launch to 60 mph in three seconds dead and run up to a 233 mph top speed, provided Sir has paid the help to make sure the adjustable aero bits are properly tweaked.

A total of 16 Zonda Rs are planned, with 15 being offered to the public (the 'extra' model will stay in company hands) at a tidy €1.4M – about $1.8 million Yankee bucks. That's a shedload of cash to be sure, but given that the carbon-titanium work alone is said to have cost more than four times that of the Zonda F, it might actually be a small bargain.

Pagani Zonda R officially unveiled in Vienna

Pagani Zonda R

The Pagani Zonda did something incredible. It proved that the supercar world did not revolve around Ferrari and Lamborghini. So to commemorate Horacio Pagani's achievement, the hypercarmaker has created one last version of the Zonda before its replacement arrives next year.

After 24 months of development, and at the urging of an unnamed Italo-American customer that already owns three Zondas, the Pagani Zonda R was created as a lightweight, track-only variant of the iconic coupe. Production is limited to ten examples with a price tag of 1.4-million euro.

Although the carbon fiber exterior is deceiving, the Pagani Zonda R only carries over 10% of its structure from its predecessors. The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length is 394mm longer and the track has been widened by 50mm. An all-new carbon fiber monocoque resides underneath the wind-tunnel tested body, along with a forged aluminum suspension, new six-speed sequential gearbox and four aero-spec fuel pumps that feed a Mercedes-Benz AMG-sourced 6.0-liter V12. Pagani claims the new heart – nestled into the 2,425-pound R – will produce 750 hp at 8,000 rpm and 524 lb-ft of torque, for a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 248.54 mph. Air is fed into the bent-twelve through a carbon fiber air intake system, while an Inconel manifold and "F1-style" exhaust releases spent hydrocarbons and keeps engine temps in check.

Pagani makes it clear that the Zonda R is a not street legal, and one owner is taking that to the illogical extreme. One of the first Zonda Rs to be delivered will be installed in the customer's living room and fitted

Pagani releases more renderings of the Zonda R

Pagani Zonda R

The Pagani Zonda is on its way to supercar heaven, due to be replaced by Horacio Pagani's next masterpiece, currently code-named the C9. To send off the current Zonda in style, Pagani is working on the Zonda R, limiting production to ten examples with a price tag of €2,000,000.

Despite looking very similar to the Zonda F and its predecessors, the R only shares ten percent of the outgoing model's underpinnings, and instead, gets a sleek new shape that's 47mm longer, providing even more downforce through the use of a longer splitter, rear defuser and wing.

Pagani has released four new renderings of its all-carbon fiber coupe, and according to Autoblog.it (no relation), Pagani won't be using the 750-hp, 7.3-liter Mercedes mill, instead opting for the 6.0-liter AMG V12 putting out similar hp and torque. Five road-going versions are planned, while the remaining five will be limited to circuit duty. We're hoping to finally see the Zonda R in person sometime next year, likely at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

2010 Pagani Zonda F spied

A priceless supercar prototype was parked on petrol station with only a few small pieces of camouflage. While the badges were covered in black tape, there was no doubt we were looking at the 2010 Pagani Zonda F. Up front, this next-generation Zonda F will get an all-new front clip. At the back, the rear quarter panels have been re-sculpted to allow for significantly increased airflow.

The rear diffuser has also been redesigned and there is a totally new air scoop that sticks up from the middle of the engine cover.

2010 Pagani Zonda F -12010 Pagani Zonda F -22010 Pagani Zonda F -3Inside, we can see the “Zonda F” nameplate above several toggle switches. Other than a new shifter, we don’t see any major interior changes. This Pagani has absolutely enormous 335/30/ZR20 Pirelli Pzero Rosso tyres at the back and 255/35/ZR19 tyres at the front. Inside the wheels are equally enormous carbon ceramic brake rotors.

What power plant this supercar might be packing is a bit of a mystery. Pagani certainly wants to keep the motor a secret as the clear engine compartment panels were covered with black tape. Judging from the new, larger air intakes on this prototype, whichever motor resides under the cover obviously needs more airflow than the Mercedes AMG 7.3L V8 found in the current Zonda F.

There are rumors of the 5.4-Litre supercharged V8 from the McLaren SLR 722 or perhaps the bi-turbo V12 from the recently debuted Mercedes SL65 AMG Black series providing motivation for the Zonda F.

Whatever the motor, it should be good for 600-700hp. The Zonda F should start production sometime in the first half of 2009. If you want one, count on an MSRP of at least $1,500,000 AUD.

Pagani Zonda F - new spy shot

Pagani Zonda F

A spy photographer caught the future Zonda F testing. The car will keep a similar body to the design launched 10 years ago, but will add a wider grille, sleeker looking headlights, revised rear end, and a new engine air scoop.

Under the hood the engine will likely be borrowed from the SL65 AMG Black Series. In the Zonda, the 6.0-liter V12 should deliver 661bhp and over 700 ft lbs of torque. The 0 to 60 mph sprint will be made in under 3.6 seconds. The engine will be mated to the same six-speed Cima sequential gearbox found in the Zonda Cinque. Prices should be around £400,000 (about $800,000).

Pagani to make five street legal versions of the Zonda R

Zonda R

Back in February, we opined the fact that the production Pagani Zonda R, a track-only carbon fiber supercar powered by a 750-horsepower V12 to go along with its 1.2 million euro price tag, didn't make the trek to Geneva. It seemed at the time that there just weren't enough orders for the vehicle for Pagani to be able to offer it. That issue could soon be rectified, if rumors floating around on the Teamspead forums prove accurate. It seems that five roadgoing versions of the Zonda R will be created, known as the Zonda Cinque, which, appropriately enough, means five in Italian. Could this version of the Zonda be what we've seen testing in spy shots these last few months? It's hard to say for certain, but we do detect the pairs of triple headlights on both the spied cars and the supposed image above of the Cinque. Draw your own conclusions, but we think there is always room for another carbon fiber supercar in our dream garages.

Next Pagani Zonda packing big engine, bigger intakes

New Pagani Zonda

Spies have caught a Pagani Zonda mule during a brief respite from testing and at first glance, not much has changed. The greenhouse looks similar to the current version, while the front end benefits from a revised splitter and a softening of the previous model's hard creases. While these changes are minimal at best, it's not until you scope out the massive air intakes above the rear fenders that you realize that big things are afoot. Those new inlets are rumored to feed a supercharged version of an AMG-sourced 5.4-liter V8 – the same 680-hp mill that powers the McLaren SLR. Partnered with Pagani's extensive use of carbon fiber and other lightweight components, there's little doubt that the new Zonda will crack the three-second mark to 60 and continue on to a top speed of well over 200 mph. No production dates are available yet, but expect the new model to debut sometime next year.

Pagani C9

Pagani C9

Pagani is preparing to launch a new model. Internally known as the "C9", the supercar is designed for the USA and the Japanese markets and will go on sale in late 2009, after its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show next year.

Pagani will continue its cooperation with AMG, but this time the model will not be powered by the 7,3-liter V12 engine. Instead the C9 will be powered by either a 6,2-liter V8 or a 6,0-liter V12 biturbo engine.

As you already know Pagani will increase production from the current 16 units a year to 60 units a year, so you might be a bit more lucky if you want to drive a Pagani next year!

Pagani Zonda R

sports cars

While we certainly cannot say the Zonda F lacks performance figures, driving around the Nürburgring in 7:32 and achieving lateral G forces of almost 1.5 G, it is however a road car, easy to drive, intuitive and setting the benchmark for comfort, safety and lightweight. Paired with a quality finish and the attention to detail this made the Zonda F one of the most desirable supercars resulting in the 25 Coupé models being sold out in record time.

This did not seem to fulfil the requirements of our most demanding customers, who adore the weekend drive on a racetrack.


The spark has been set by an Italo-American customer, enthusiast and already proud owner of 3 Zondas. He describes the project this way: "The thought has been on my mind for quite some time, but I am not interested in racing".

The Zonda R is born with full liberty. The target: the ultimate performance at the racetrack without any implications of rules, except for safety, where no compromise is allowed. In September 2006 the first drawings were ready, but it was crucial to have the support of Mercedes-AMG for a high revving engine with a power output of 750hp, dry sump, light and
with a low centre of gravity. The basis was the self supporting engine of the mighty CLK GTR, which has dominated the GT championships.

Eve at constant racing pace the engine would have to cover over 5.000 km before servicing. The challenge has been accepted without hesitation.

The Zonda R is a car designed from scratch, with only 10% of the Zonda F components to be carried over. The suspension forged in Avional, a new Pagani six speed transversal sequential gearbox, carbon fibre monocoque, aeronautical four pump fuel tank are only part of the equation.


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 studied to offer maximum downforce. Even though built for the track, the project would not have received kick off, if the quality and finish of the car and its details was not up to the level of the Pagani road cars.

One of the first cars to be delivered however will be kept in a living room, designed by Pagani and built with the same materials as the Zonda F, beautifully textured carbon fibre, avional, titanium, inconel and other state of the art materials. Additionally it will feature a bespoke HiFi System that will allow the customer to listen to the sound of this car at Le Mans and the Nürburgring.

The Pagani customers who have ordered the Zonda R will be relieved of almost 1.2 million + taxes.


This Zonda is purpose made for track use, without restrictions of any competition rules or homologation, with the only exclusion of the passengers’ integrity, where no compromise is tolerated according to our philosophy and state-of-the-art safety measures are featured.

A new heart
The engine is built by the racing specialists at Mercedes AMG, where the championship winning DTM cars are born, as well as the CLK GTR, probably the most devastating and effective weapon ever to compete in the GT series. From it’s engine the Zonda R borrows the basic architecture including an ingenious dry sump allowing a low centre of gravity. This self-supporting engine with 750 hp at 8000 rpm and 710 Nm of torque carries a lightweight carbon fibre highperformance intake system, a racing multiple disc sintered clutch and Formula 1 style exhaust system, hydroformed in Inconel 625 and ceramic coated for optimal heat dissipation. The power unit combined with a 6 speed transversal manual sequential synchronised gearbox is designed to satisfy the most ambitious drivers.

The chassis
The central carbon chassis will incorporate a roll cage and a rubber racing fuel tank with 4 fuel pumps and quick refuel filler like on GT race cars. The wheelbase has been increased by 47mm to offer the best stability. The front and rear subframes are brand-new, built to accommodate a new suspension geometry, produced in avional. The magnesium forged rims with central wheel nut and a quick pneumatic lifting system allows fast and effortless changes of the slick tyres.


Bodywork and aerodynamics
The new bodywork has been honed to offer elevated downforce even in low speed corners. The longer front bonnet with flaps, closed underbody and the rear overhang with the adjustable rear wing and race derived diffusor translate into shattering aerodynamic efficiency and will let you experience cornering speeds beyond imagination.

The car displays and logs information about the amount of dowforce that the car is generating at each moment. Combined with the adjustable wings you can easily find the best setup for each track.

Workstation

The interior is designed to accommodate the driver and passenger in bespoke seats, built to offer the best support, when the G-forces from the vehicle dynamics come into question. The Digitek instrumentation provides the essential information and a sophisticated telemetry allows through a variety of sensors to monitor every single component of the car.
