The 2012 Pagani Huayra is more than just an evolution of the Zonda. It starts with the engine, for the Zonda's racing-specification, normally aspirated 7.0-liter Mercedes V12 has been replaced by an AMG-tuned twin-turbo 6.0-liter Mercedes V12.

Pagani Zonda R- Italian car \ Art

Introduced a year ago in Vienna, the Italian super cars soon found their owners. The Pagani is valued at 1500000 euros, while the weight value is only 1000 kg without the driver and fuel. That is because of the titanium and carbon fiber materials installed in the car. Chassis rigidity is doubled, and the weight reduced by one third compared to a standard Zonda F. Almost everything on the car, starting from the front spoiler to the massive rear wing is made ​​from carbon fiber or titanium, except for the "cages" made ​​from steel.

Raw power and sophisticated technology.

What can you expect from this car? The new Pagani Zonda R goes from 0  to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds while top speed reaches more than 350 km/h. However, the lucky ones who have owned this super sport car can calibrate the output power through the latest generation of software that currently does not exist in any other car in the world.

Although the Zonda F has great performances (7:27.82 at the Nürburgring, the realization of the lateral force of 1.5 G), it is still a production car, of course, with the prefix "super". The Zonda F is easy to drive, it is intuitive, and the benchmark in its class for comfort and safety. Since the series of 25 pieces was sold in record time, it is clear what kind of Italian car this is. However, it was not enough to fulfill the wishes of the most demanding customers.

The idea initially came from the customer's of Italian-American origin, automotive enthusiast and a proud owner of three Zonda cars! He described the project in his own way: "I thought about this idea for some time, but actually I'm not interested in racing."

However, the primary goal of the Zonda R is extraordinary performance on the track, without limitation rules and standards,except those relating to security. The first draft was completed in September 2009, but of crucial importance was the support of the Mercedes AMG division. The basis for the desired engine was found in the powerhouse machine from the CLK GTR, which dominated GT championships, and was perhaps the most powerful car in this competition ever. Even at constant racing pace the engine had to cover 5000 km before servicing! The challenge was accepted without hesitation.
