Yep, you are seeing this right. It's a
pink Pagani Zonda
. One of the most desirable cars to come out of anywhere, ever, is going under the hammer at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, although in that colour it's a bit like being told that you can spend the night with Scarlett Johansson as long as you turn up at work naked for the rest of the month.
And we're not talking about any old Zonda either (not that there is such a thing). This one was originally a yellow C12S Roadster with the 7.3 litre version of the Mercedes Benz's glorious V12.
It will have served-up 555bhp, been easily capable of 200+mph, and made arguably one of the most evocative noises in the history of internal combustion. However, in 2008 it was sent back to the factory to be upgraded to 'F' specification with a new diffuser, exhaust system, and re-worked ECU. The result was 602bhp and a top speed in excess of 210mph. Looking good so far then...
We'd imagine, though, that despite Pagani's famous 'anything you want' approach to customer service, their master-artisans must have gone into shock when the customer also specified that they wanted them to change the car's colour from yellow to 'Elvis Presley Cadillac Pink'.
Still, it was done and here's the result. It's not the most shocking pink ever, but it's still pink. Bonhams, who are conducting the auction, reckon that it'll go for £200,000-250,000, although the results of recent high-profile auctions would suggest that it'll go for somewhat more than that. Oh, and in case you're still thinking 'yes, I could go for that despite the colour...' it's only fair to point out that if the car stays in the EU it will be subject to 20 per cent import tax on top of the hammer price. Ouch.
