AutoExpress – Pagani Zonda R

We experience Pagani’s £1.3 million track star up close

After a long silence from super-exotic Italian manufacturer Pagani Automobili, suddenly we’re summoned to the famous Monza circuit to become one of the first magazines to watch the extraordinary new Zonda R up close, at the track.

First off, the Pagani Zonda R starts at the heady price of £1.3 million before taxes and any personal add-ons. It is gorgeous work however, and the technologies aboard are all cutting edge. Only fifteen examples are planned and eleven have already sold according to Pagani.

This unit you see here, number 001, is built to an absolute minimalist specification – total weight before a driver and fuel is added is just 1000 kg. Keeping things light is the world’s first carbon-titanium chassis. Rigidity is doubled and weight is slashed by a third versus the road-going Zonda F. Almost everything else on the car, from the gaping front splitter to the massive rear wing, is either carbon-fibre or titanium, apart from the lightweight steel rollcage and milled aluminium suspension arms.
