Is a Zonda really worth it?
Discussion
Used to love the purity of the original but even they look a bit kit car nowadays, no matter how few are left. Those updated to F and beyond spec are rather chintzy to say the least. It's almost as if its the type of car bought by someone who made some money flogging bathrooms (why did I give that game up?)
I can appreciate them but a Gordon Murray would be my port of call.

I can definitely see this. Some people on Zondaforums are getting upset that F and C12s are being converted to 760 spec/one off. I personally love it. To me I think the Zonda peaked when the mileson and the Arrivederci became known. Big fan of the shark fin, double wing, air scoop, irridescent color changing carbon we have now. I dont like the F1 but I do really like the t50. I think it will be the most important car of this decade. I can appreciate them but a Gordon Murray would be my port of call.

Peter's affinity with some curves would be really interesting to see-he's pretty much the king of the make over in my book.

I wish I bought one when they were first released in the UK, they were around £250k iirc..
Watch the Harry's Garage video of why he sold his many years ago. Essentially the running costs (insurance/servicing etc) over a few years would have dwarfed the purchase price many times over. I'd hate to think what those costs would be today given the values.Gassing Station | Supercar General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
