Pagani have released official details and illustrations of the Zonda R, their answer to the Ferrari FXX. The car was designed at the behest of an Italian-American enthusiast, who already owns three Zondas. It is not known how many will be built, but prices will certainly be high.
The car only uses 10 per cent of the Zonda F's design, the rest was conceived from scratch. The 750bhp engine comes from the Mercedes AMG division, derived from the CLK GTR racer. Specifically designed for track use, the Zonda R will concede nothing to road practicality, according to Pagani.
