2010 Pagani Zonda R Race Car
A Pagani Zonda is never shy of a drive at the racetrack, a fact that was undermined numerous times in the past with records for production vehicles at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. With the input of its avid track focused customers, the Pagani team has created the Zonda R using bespoke engineering solutions to meet the performance demands for a trackday version of the highly popular Zonda F.

The central monocoque is made of a Carbon-Titanium composite, increasing
rigidity while reducing significantly the weight. Bolted directly to the chassis
is the Mercedes AMG 6.0 liter race derived V12 engine, with 750 hp and 524 lb-ft
of torque. A direct throttle actuation via mechanical cable ensures immediate
throttle response. The Xtrac Magnesium cased dog ring gearbox combined with tha
Automac Engineering AMT system performs gearshifts in 20ms, triggered by the
drivers input on the paddles behind the steering wheel. A 12-way Bosch
Motorsport traction control and ABS system allows the driver to fully adjust the
settings while driving the Zonda R.
At the pits, each driver will be able
to find a suitable setup thanks to a fully adjustable suspension and wing
configuration. The effectiveness of the rear is matched by a complex new front
bonnet, a masterpiece realized with the help of models by Ennegi, as well as the
closed underbody and rear diffuser. Aerodynamic setups rage from a high
downforce setting of 3300 lbs to a 218 mph top speed setting.
Aspa forged
AvionAl suspension components as well as machined structural ErgAl parts holding
the engine and gearbox have been designed to reduce the weight of the overall
car. Poggipolini Titanium screws are used on the whole car. These measures lead
to a dry weight of 2359 lbs.
The interior has been designed to offer a
perfect environment for the driver. The controls are limited to the
indispensable, but the quality finish reflects the usual demanding Pagani
standards. The bespoke Toora seats are FIA homologated and comply to latest HANS
standards, five-point safety belts and a CrMo roll-cage assure the occupants'
safety. The lucky owners of the Zonda R will experience a level of performance
on the track, that is simply not possible on the road. A power-to-weight ratio
of 701 hp-per-ton will catapult them from 0 to 60 mph in less than 2.6 seconds,
the Brembo carbon ceramic brakes ensure the car comes to a standstill even
quicker.
The Zonda R is built in a limited production run of 15 units and
sold at a price of $1,900,000 plus taxes in Europe.
