zonda c12 7.3S  2002-2005

The Pagani Zonda is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani. It debuted at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. By 2018, a total of 140 cars had been built, including development mules. Both 2-door coupé and roadster variants have been produced along with a third new variant being the barchetta. Construction is mainly of carbon fibre.

The Zonda was originally to be named the "Fangio F1" after Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio, but, following his death in 1995, it was renamed for the Zonda wind, a regional term for a hot air current above Argentina.

The Zonda C12  is powered by a 6.0 L  Mercedes-Benz M120 V12 engine having a power output of either 400 PS  or 450 PS . The C12 can accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds and to 161 km/h in 9.2 seconds.

Introduced in 2002 the Zonda S 7.3 used a new, larger naturally aspirated V12 engine displacing 7.291 cc designed and manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AMG having a power output of 555 PS at 5900 rpm and 750 N⋅m of torque at 4050 rpm. To better handle the power, traction control and ABS were made standard. The C12-S can accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, to 160 km/h in 7.0 seconds. Lateral acceleration on the skidpad is 1.18 g (11.6 m/s²). The C12-S can attain a top speed of 335 km/h.

zonda r ital design  2009-2011

The Pagani Zonda R is a track day car developed.  It debuted at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, using the 6.0-litre GT 112 engine sourced from the racing version of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. The Zonda R's competition lies with track-based cars, such as the Ferrari FXX and Maserati MC12 Corsa rather than the original Zonda's road competitors as it is not road-legal.

Despite sharing much of the Zonda's shape, the R is almost entirely new, sharing only 10% of the Zonda F's components. It has been obliquely suggested by Horacio Pagani that this car is a testbed chassis for certain components of the Zonda's replacement, the Huayra.

zonda r evolution  2012

The Zonda R Evolution was an updated version of the Zonda R. Unveiled at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed, it features many changes over the previous Zonda R. The car takes many pieces and inspirations from the Zonda 760RS. The exterior is finished in pearl white colour with exposed carbon-fibre on the nose. The 6.0 L V12 engine is uprated to 800 PS. The bodywork is the same as the Zonda R but has improved aerodynamics. It features a bigger air splitter above the two standard air splitters on the front bumper and a pair of small splitters on the sides of the rear bumper. A bigger rear central fin and a small spoiler added below the standard Zonda R spoiler improves aerodynamics and increases down-force. 5 cars were initially planned to be produced, but only one (the original Zonda R prototype) was actually completed. 

huayra  2012-2015

The Pagani Huayra  is a mid-engine sports car  succeeding the company's previous offering, the Zonda. It is named after Huayra-tata, a Quechua wind god. The Huayra was named "The Hypercar of the Year 2012" by Top Gear magazine. On 11 February 2015 it was reported that the Pagani Huayra has been sold out. The Huayra was limited to just 100 units as part of Pagani's agreement with engine supplier Mercedes-AMG.

The Huayra uses a 6.0 L  twin-turbocharged M158 60° V12 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG specially for the Huayra, which has a power output of 730 PS. The Huayra has a top speed of about 383 km/h  and it has a 0-100 km/h  acceleration time of 2.8 seconds. 

huayra roadster  2017-2018

The Pagani Huayra was officially debuted online with several pictures in a press release on 25 January 2011. After 2 years of development, the Huayra Roadster was officially unveiled at the 2017 with the most obvious being the removable top (hence the Roadster name). 

The vehicle utilises the same twin-turbocharged M158 V12 engine as the coupé, but it now has a total power output of 764 PS. All of this power is delivered to the rear wheels via an all-new 7-speed automated manual transmission by Xtrac.

Only 100 will be made, all of which have already been sold.
