The Pagani Zonda R

Another Italian car maker is making huge waves in the super car industry. Although he hasn’t yet attained the level of an Enzo Ferrari nor a Ferruccio Lamborghini, Horacio Pagani can’t be taken for granted either as far as his accomplishment is concerned. When it comes to his curriculum vitae, Pagani was able to finish his very own super car in 1999 called Zonda C12 after several decades of working independently. The Zonda was named after an Andean mountain wind and just recently, Pagani updated this automobile by unleashing the Pagani Zonda R.

 The ultra-exclusive Zonda R has impressive credentials needless to say and because of this Pagani didn’t create this beauty for a cheap price. Right now, if you ever plan to buy this super car you have to at least be prepared to cough out 1.2 million USD and if you’re the regular dude, well it’s going to be very tough to purchase this one.  The Zonda R is not only about class but more importantly power, its 6.0 liter V12 engine is everything but mediocre. The engineers guarantee that the Zonda R does not look like the Zonda F although there is some similarity especially when it comes to the carbon-fiber monocoque frame. A lot of my friends from the Autopartswarehouse club compare the Zonda R with the Ferrari FXX and I am not surprised. Horacio Pagani honed his car-designing skills with team Ferrari before bolting out several years later. That certainly explains the same vibes that the Zonda R and Ferrari FXX emit.

 On the other hand, the interior of the Zonda R is totally grand and excellent. It has great space for a car of this status while at the same time it can provide the occupants enough creature comforts. If you think that it can only show off because of excessive power and looks then you’re absolutely wrong. This road masterpiece was also built to provide maximum handling for whoever is going to be behind the steering wheel. Needless to say, Pagani really made a huge leap from his former model to this one. The improvement and difference are too tangible not to be noticed even by the average super car fan.

 When it comes to practicality, well this one doesn’t really score that much in this category. The Zonda R is all about luxury and if you’re willing to spend more than a million dollars just to get this car then practicality is certainly not part of your vocabulary. The engineers of this car claim that it’ll take more than 3000 miles before this car will need to have some maintenance-check and I think that speaks a lot for the durability of the Zonda R.  

 Basically the Zonda R will never be an all-purpose car because of its exorbitant price and top of the line design. At the end of the day it’s all about the gratifying feeling that every car owner experiences after purchasing a car that you’ve always dreamed of. If this car is your dream car then I can’t blame you, it has every trait that will make you drool and think whether you’ll ever have the chance to drive this monster. If ever you would end up pocketing this magnificent machine, do me a favor by using it until it’s totally worn out. A lot of super car enthusiasts buy super cars and just store it somewhere while they contently watch it from afar. Super cars are made to be driven on the road and although they really look good use them as much as possible. If you’re intending to save some cash which is a whopping 1.2 million USD in order to buy the Zonda R someday then don’t count on it. Pagani only manufactured 24 pieces and unfortunately they get sold out immediately.
