Expand and edit this paragraph Zonda model introduction

Pagani Zonda can be called a unique super sports car, Pagani Zonda F

Dare to compete with Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and other big names in the sports car industry compete with each other, and its perfect workmanship is enough to put Ferrari to shame. Each Zonda delivered to customers has its own model, with unique aerial charm, super power performance, and the noble texture inherited from Pagani's handcrafting, making the limited-production Pagani Zonda super sports car even more valuable. The shape of the Pagani Zonda has been tested in the wind tunnel. Its deep chin air intake dam, rear spoiler and airflow diffuser can generate 500 kilograms of downforce on the body at a high speed of 297 km/h, and the proportion of the body is even. , Zonda can still be stable even at ultra-high speeds of more than 300 kilometers per hour. The beauty of Zonda's styling puts many sports car manufacturers to shame. The most striking thing about the overall model design is the wedge-shaped nose and drop-shaped glass cabin, which are also very similar to the models participating in the GT endurance race. The rear spoiler, which is bisected in the center, has a very special design and exudes a distinctive aesthetic; the jet-like rear exhaust pipe has become the registered trademark of this super car.

[1] Some early Zonda models were designed by F1 champion Juan Manuel Fangio. The car was originally named "Fangio F1", but after Fangio's death in 1995, it was renamed Zonda. It means "Wind of the Andes".

Edit this section for a detailed explanation of the Zonda car series

1999 Pagani Zonda C12

The Pagani Zonda C12 can be said to be the first Pagani for the world. It was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1999. It uses Mercedes-Benz's M120 V12 engine and has a top speed of 340km/h. It produces 402 horsepower (300KW) at 5200 rpm and a torque of 571 Nm at 3800 rpm. Only five prototypes of the 6.0-liter displacement were produced, and the C12 was still available to order until 2002, although the new C12 S had already been launched by then. Among the five prototype cars, one was used for crash testing, while the other was used as an exhibition car. The remaining ones were sold to customers for a high price, $320,000 each. The C12 can accelerate from 0 to 97km/h in 4.2 seconds and to 160km/h in 8.2 seconds. Then start braking from 97km/h to standstill, and the braking distance is 34 meters.

2000 Pagani Zonda C12 S

Pagani Zonda C12 S is equipped with a 7.0L V12 engine from Mercedes-Benz AMG, which can output a maximum horsepower of 542 horses and accelerate from 0 to 97KM/H in an astonishing time. 3.7 seconds, and it only takes 7.5 seconds to accelerate to 160KM/H. The top speed reaches 350KM/H.

The C12 S is an improved version of the C12. Some details of the body have been redesigned, and a new lighter clutch and better exhaust system have been installed. The car is 10 kilograms lighter than the C12. Its price tag is $350,000, and only 15 units of the C12 S were produced.

2002 Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3

As the name suggests, AMG’s V12 engine has been upgraded again, with the displacement increased to 7.3 liters, maximum horsepower of 555 horses, and peak torque of 750 Cow rice. The acceleration performance has also been improved again, the acceleration from 0 to 97KM/H is shortened to 3.5 seconds, and the acceleration from 0 to 160KM/H can be completed in 7.3 seconds. The top speed reaches 360KM/H, which seems to have surpassed the Ferrari Enzo. Pagani originally planned to produce 40 C12 S 7.3s, 9 of which would be convertibles. In fact, due to increased demand, the C12 S 7.3 was produced again in 2005, and a convertible version of the Zonda C12 S Roadster was released at the 2004 Geneva International Motor Show, with a limited production of 40 units. According to Motor Trend, 60 units had been produced as of January 2006.

2003 Zonda GR

The development of Pagani Zonda GR started in December 2002. Although the Pagani sports car has excellent performance, it has not participated in an important motor sports event in four years. So several shareholders of motor sports companies jointly established a new company called Carsport Zonda, which was created to specialize in processing and manufacturing Pagani racing cars. They were authorized by Pagani to develop and sell exclusively modified Pagani sports cars. The first GR was built in the Carsport factory in Modena in several months. The GR is built on the C12 S platform, sharing the same carbon fiber chassis and front and rear tubular frame construction. In order to improve aerodynamic performance, aerodynamic devices were added to the front and rear of the car, as well as an improved roof. According to FIA rules, the width of the car is two meters. The vehicle weight is reduced to 1100 kg. The suspension has been redesigned from the ground up, and the wheels and brake discs have been professionally upgraded. The radiator in front of the engine was made larger, and a new transmission cooling system was added. The processed Zonda does have better performance than the original car. The acceleration from 0 to 97KM/H is shortened again to 3.3 seconds. The power output is 592 hp at 5800 rpm. However, the top speed is only 346KM/H, but it can be increased after adjustment. The price of the complete vehicle is US$325,000.

2004 Zonda C12 S Monza

In 2004, the new Pagani C12 S Monza made its debut at the Paris Motor Show. The C12 S Monza can be understood as the street version of the C12 S GR. The Monza version of the C12 S is built to racing standards but can be used for everyday use. The body lines of the Monza version are largely derived from GR. After all, GR is the one that best reflects the characteristics of high-profile motor sports. The changes to the Monza version are as follows: the engine power output exceeds 440KW, and the cooling system has also been improved. The aerodynamics have become more complete, and the front and rear diffusers and rear wings are different, which has increased the speed. In addition, the transmission ratio has been optimized, because the car uses a large number of new material parts, which makes the vehicle "weight" lighter, including polycarbonate side windows; a muffler is added to the exhaust pipe. The interior has also been slightly modified, with different pedals, updated steering wheels and seats, and a roll cage added to the cockpit. Enlarged brake discs and stiffer suspension are all equipment that pursues ultimate performance.

2005 Pagani Zonda F (C12 F)

Pagani’s most famous model is arguably the C12 F. Its hardtop version was first unveiled at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It also uses the huge 7.3L V12 engine of the previous model, but its performance has been improved and the power output has been increased to 443KW. Zonda F also has a racing version with a larger power output of 502KW. It only takes 3.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100KM/H, and the top speed exceeds 346KM/H. With a little adjustment, the top speed can be even higher.

In addition, its braking performance from 300KM/H to standstill is also the best among all cars. The power/weight ratio of the Zonda F Motorsport Edition is 384 watts/kg. In comparison, the Ferrari Enzo is inferior, with only 356 watts/kg. The Zonda F is a truly fast supercar. The reason why it is said to be so is because it not only has extremely high speeds, but also has extremely high cornering speeds. Its motorsport version once ran the best lap time (7 minutes, 27 seconds and 82 seconds) on the famous Nürburgring circuit in Germany, breaking the record of the Porsche Carrera GT's exclusive throne. The production volume of ZONDA F is extremely low, with only 25 units produced. Its specifications do not meet the requirements of the US Environmental Protection Agency. Therefore, this generation of ZONDA F has not been publicly sold in the United States, but its unparalleled performance and appearance have still won the favor of young Americans. There are also many American performance car fans who have obtained it through illegal means. Pagani plans to launch the next generation model (internally designated C9) in 2009 for the US market.

2006 Zonda Roadster F

Many people think that it would be a pity if a car as beautiful as Zonda F does not have a convertible version. Indeed, not only the poor but also the rich think so. Think so. "Customers are God", so Pagani launched the more stylish Zonda Roadster F in order to cater to customer tastes. But that's not a traditional Roadster, it's neither a soft top nor a hard top, but a soft top and a hard top! That is, the rear part is made of canvas and the front part is made of carbon fiber. Zonda Roadster F uses a full carbon fiber body, which is relatively rare in the field of sports cars. Although this design is a bit more troublesome, it can reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve performance, while also ensuring the safety of passengers. Since Zonda Roadster F adopts the design ideas of professional racing cars, everything becomes simple. It adopts the body frame and structure of racing cars and uses lightweight materials of racing cars. Zonda Roadster F weighs only 1230 kg. However, high technology and high-quality craftsmanship determine that it is still far away from the popular road, and the price is so high that its production is still limited to about 25 vehicles.

2007 Zonda R Clubsport

If you think the cars introduced above are ridiculously expensive, then the Zonda R ClubSport is even more ridiculously expensive. Estimated value is $1.2 million. Zonda ClubSport (hereinafter referred to as CS) was only unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007. It still uses the Mercedes-Benz AMG engine, and a special design makes it more powerful. So much so that its status has been raised to a higher level, and its competitors are no longer the likes of the Ferrari Enzo, but the Ferrari FXX and Maserati MC12. Although these cars all look like professional racing cars, they actually do not meet the requirements of international official competitions. So who are the customer groups they are targeting? Those who have a lot of money but love motor sports often have the financial resources to organize their own private competitions. They can rent their own venues and set their own rules without being affected by the rules of international competitions. You may not be able to buy this kind of car even if you have money, just like the Ferrari FXX. Although the styling of the CS is very similar to other members of the Pagani car family, in fact only 10% of the entire car is the same as the previous model, and the rest is brand new. The carbon fiber chassis center frame has a cockpit with a roll guard and integrated four fuel tanks, similar to a GT racing car. The wheelbase has been extended by 47 mm to improve vehicle stability. The front and rear frames are newly designed using Avion aluminum alloy material to match the newly designed cross suspension. The four wheels can be easily removed, similar to professional F1. There are many sensors distributed in the car to collect information about the air downforce generated by the four wheels during driving. This system allows the car owner to adjust settings according to road conditions and improve cornering skills. In addition to the increased wheelbase, the body length has also increased by 394 mm. The bodywork and aerodynamic modifications are designed to provide maximum aerodynamic downforce. Its wide, flat and pointed front face, its huge rear wing, and the chassis are completely closed, with no protruding parts to avoid the vehicle being destroyed if the chassis is too low to rub against the ground during driving. .

The body is made of carbon fiber. Since running fast requires more air to breathe (actually more for heat dissipation), there are many "nostrils" on the body, including those on the roof, the sides of the body...the ultimate version. Zonda has an astonishing 750 horsepower and a peak torque of 709 Nm. In addition, a carbon fiber high-performance air intake system, a competition-specific multi-plate clutch, and an F1 racing exhaust system with ceramic heat dissipation coating are all top equipment. The transmission system It is a six-speed sequential gearbox. Like many super sports cars, the interior of the CS is not luxurious and dazzling, but practicality is the most fundamental. In this way, the interior becomes much simpler. There is no GPS, in-car TV or computer, only some necessary instruments and devices that display driving parameters and sensor feedback data. The seats are also custom-made for the owner. [3]

2010 Zonda Tricolore

When Pagani celebrated its 50th birthday at Rivolto Airport on September 11 and 12, 2010, the Pagani Zonda Tricolore

was launched A new car Zonda Tricolore. "Tricolore" comes from Italian, and its original meaning is three-color arrow, which is a symbol of speed and charm. The car is expected to sell for US$1.76 million (approximately 12 million yuan). [4] Pagani Zonda Tricolore is designed based on the concept of Zonda Cinque. In comparison, Zonda Tricolore has many special features. LED lights are installed on the front and rear of the body, and their design style is similar to aircraft light sets. The air intake of the Tricolore is also different from that of the Cinque. The Tricolore uses a small vertical air intake located above the hood and is equipped with a French three-color strip. The side of the car body is decorated with blue polish, which gives people a deep impression. It is understood that Zonda Tricolore will be officially displayed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

2010 Zonda HH

The famous Italian car manufacturer Pagani has been the subject of headlines in 2010, because the Pagani Zonda R set the fastest time on the Nürburgring. speed. And just in August, Pagani once again released a model that is limited to one in the world. The new car is named Zonda HH. [5] An unknown American buyer got this special edition, which is also the only Pagani Zonda HH in the world, and the first photos of the car were also exposed. This car has the shadow of Zonda Cinque and Zonda F Roadster, and I was lucky enough to see this car in person for the first time at the Paris International Auto Show in the fall of 2010. Pagani Zonda HH

For such a car manufacturer that specializes in manufacturing super sports cars, based on the consideration of manufacturing and development costs, how to expand the product line is definitely not its primary goal, but in order to avoid too monotonous products It would be an ideal approach to launch a variety of limited edition models. Pagani does not want to put this model into production, but launch it as an experimental test car. Of course, its body is filled with Pagani's best parts and technologies. As for the engine part of the car, it should be a 7.3-liter V-12 cylinder version from Mercedes-Benz, with a maximum output of 680 horsepower and an astonishing peak torque of 576 pound-feet. It is estimated that the weight of Zonda HH will also be controlled at around 1210 kg. The car can accelerate from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.4 seconds, and its top speed exceeds 217 miles per hour. This kind of performance is indeed very good for a convertible. In terms of selling price, the manufacturer still maintains a high degree of mystery about Zonda HH. As for the price of the car, it has the same characteristics as any Zonda, that is, it is expensive. Especially for a special version, it is even more strange that it is not expensive. The price is estimated to be more than 7-digit US dollars. But what is understandable is that even if you have sufficient funds, this car is difficult to find. At present, Pagani has only officially released warm-up pictures of this mysterious supercar. The Zonda HH will use a blue traditional paint, a large amount of carbon fiber materials, a ceramic brake system, blue brake calipers, racing-specific wheels and Pirelli P Zero High performance tires.

But there was no comment or comment on the car.
