Advantages: see for yourself
Disadvantages: none
The Zonda C12 S, latest model from Pagani is incredible, it is THE supercar among supercars. Check out the website - www.euro-sportscars.com. It has a Mercedes Benz 7.3 AMG engine, 0-100 kmph in 3.7 seconds! Aerodynamic studies, which have been undertaken prom scratch in Dallera?s wind tunnel, have modeled the aggressive shapes of the Zonda. The pilot projected ahead, as in group C cars, the big banner that covers the V12 Mercedes-Benz engine, the Air intakes and the four exhaust pipes enclosed in the original round shaped element are the consequence of a precise, functional and aesthetic study. The sole UK and Ireland distributor is Euro Sportscars Ltd.

Jarama - 18.06.02 Having driven an early pre- S version of the Zonda and had the joy of being driven by Loris Bicocchi in an S, I can vouch for the car in question!
My only problem(s) with the Pagani concept are:
a) where was the HUGE buzz like I got from driving that my first Countach drive brought me and
b) why-oh-why does it have to have a German engine... and I know all about the Fangio connection...
If you ever, ever get a chance to go to the Pagani 'factory' in Modena (taking in all those others in the area but obviously the Lamborghini factory first...) make sure you pick a sunny day and call first. Once there, be prepared for a wonderful welcome, try to act like a potential customer (although, I got the feeling that they don't really mind if you aren't...) and just enjoy. Roberta has to be one of the firms best assets and Loris will / can scare the socks off you whilst being in complete control... and everybody seems to smile all the time!
...and Mr. Pagani himself... for a very small chap, he is remarkably aloof, very dapper and very, very 'in-control'
best wishes and good luck |
