Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta at Pebble Beach

Just when you thought Pagani was done making Zondas!

---

The Zonda is a model that Horacio Pagani doesn't seem to want to let go of; remember the last of the breed was meant to be the Zonda Tricolore, back in 2011. Then there was another, then just one more, then the 760 model, and the Zonda Zozo as well.

Well this is different!

Once again, Horacio and his team of specialists in the Uno-di-Uno division of Pagani set about making a very special Zonda - one Horacio imagined as his own (hasn't he done that with all of them?). The one-of-three HP Barchetta has a cropped windscreen and plenty of carbon composites including the partially covered rear wheels (note silver on the left, and blue on the right) as seen on the Zozo. A roof scoop, rear wing and rear diffuser appear similar to that seen on the Cinque.

Inside, the seats are from a Huayra in white leather with tartan and blue highlights inspired by classic motorsport. Weighing in at 1,250kg, power is believed to be produced by the Mercedes-AMG V12 out of the Huayra but with a manual gearbox. Although it sounds like the old V12 to us... It is being touted as the last of the Zonda legacy with one going to Horacio's private collection, but you never know, another one-off might pop up again at some point soon...

I thought Pagani would still built Zonda's as long as one had the required funds to do so?

That being said, I'm not sure what the cognoscenti will make of this...

ETA Damn you, autocorrect, damn you to hell!

I've no idea about them, but I imagine the cognoscenti may have a thing or two to say about it...

Haha! Blame autocorrect on my phone... Duly fixed.
