Another Zonda thread from yours truly.

I thought I had it figured out how to tell the difference between at the Zonda C12 derivatives but now I am not so sure.

I used to think that a carbonfibre spoiler meant it was a C12s 7.3

and a spoiler the same colour as the car meant it was a C12s 7.0.


Now I am wondering if the Circle(or lack of one) on the hood at the rear, means anything.

Anyone know if any exterior signs give it away.

I know nothing about these but would suspect that a number of cars, like Harry's in EVO, have been back to the factory on the odd occasion for upgrades so I am not sure you could say the wings would necessarily give any true indications.

As far as I know (only from what I've read) that these cars are kept by their owners for longer than the average supercar.

With very few being made and the client relationship being built up by the company through servicing etc. I'd say there are very few of the earlier cars that are still standard.

With the mods being done by the factory, provenance also can be maintained.

The car in the top picture simply has a naked carbonfibre wing, and the one in the second picture has the normally painted one.

Check out my profile pic for more ways to confuse yourself...

Thats the one that was owned by the singer from the Black Eyed Peas?
I had thought that was the only one, but clearly not

Caiola is that guy with the Yellow and Red Enzos in NY that are often pictured on LP?
He does have a car I really like, his F40LM http://www.ferrariownersclub.co.uk/happenings/2004...

The Zonda sounds the bits . . . I wonder why no other supercar uses Mercs great 12.

The Fugees are fking brilliant! But I suppose you deserve a Zonda more than a musical pioneer?
