The Pagani Zonda R, a masterpiece of automotive engineering, continues to captivate car enthusiasts with its exquisite design and awe-inspiring performance. As one of only 10 "R" examples produced between 2009 and 2011, this particular Zonda R has been upgraded to the coveted "R Evolution" specification, making it even more exclusive and powerful.
Built without the constraints of race or governmental regulations, the Zonda R was meticulously designed to be the ultimate driver's car, offering an unparalleled driving experience. Its advanced carbon-titanium monocoque chassis, bespoke suspension geometry, and specially developed powertrain set it apart as a true tour de force in the world of supercars.
The Zonda R's exterior exudes aggression and aerodynamic brilliance, with its massive snout, diffusers, and spoilers contributing to its track-ready performance. Under the hood, a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V-12 engine, derived from the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, generates a staggering 780 horsepower, propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 230 mph.
This specific Zonda R Evolution, now being offered for sale by RM Sotheby's, is the fifth of its kind and was upgraded to Evolution specifications in 2014. The upgrades included a power boost, new Öhlins dampers, lightweight magnesium alloy wheels, and increased downforce with additional aero elements.
Presented in its striking exposed carbon fiber livery with "tricolore" accents, this iconic track weapon is sure to fetch a significant price at auction, considering its previous listing for $6.5 million in 2021. For those with a passion for the extraordinary, the Pagani Zonda R Evolution represents an unparalleled opportunity to own a rare and remarkable piece of automotive history.
