I have already posted these pics in the super car section but on reflection felt that they deserved a wider view.

Personally I cant get enough of these. I think it may be the best yet as I much prefer the coupes. A few LM/F1 clues in the rear fin.















I find it interesting that buyers are still ordering Custom Zonda's even though the C9 replacement is due soon. Does that mean that the C9 is not deemed to be a decent replacement? Having seen the renderings of the C9 I have to say I prefer the look of the Zonda

The people that can afford these will have both.

I like it but would want an exterior colour less likely to get the st kicked out of me in the carpark!

That looks shocking in that finish!

I agree, most buyers would probably have a few.

I'm liking them less and less these days.

They are just getting too fussy styling wise and just seem to be made for arabs to park outside the Dorchester.

No denying the quality of the materials and build though.

No offence Pagani but the world doesn't need another vulgar special edition supercar.

Get back to creating something original. The Zonda is excellent but things have moved on and so should you

The thing is only a couple of Zonda's are in Arab hands. The vast majority are in the UK and Europe and the Far East. The Dorchester car just happened to get a lot of publicity over the summer

I know but thats just the sort of image they have now.

I think the current version peaked with the C12S version.

Do you think? I beg to differ.

The thing is the Zonda is likely to be one of the last supercars of its type and that is a shame. We are very unlikely to see high reving, large capacity, NA engines linked to a manual gearbox ever again. If only for that reason I will continue to celebrate the Zonda. Also few cars have ever sounded so good from idle to full chatbiggrin

As I said they are just getting too fussy for my tastes. Too many vents, huge wings etc.

Then again my favourite supercar is the Carrera GT so as you can tell my tastes are probably too conservative to get too wound up over the latest Zondas.

No disagreement on the noise though.

Prefer Zonda's when they look a bit less mad!

LP400?

25th Anniversary?

Will these later Zondas be remembered in similar ways?

I'll never afford any zonda, however the earlier "vanilla" cars are the ones that I'd like to roll up the armoured shutter doors to in my garage
