New Pagani Zonda R Renderings

written by John Chow on September 7th, 2007

zonda-r_render.jpg

Most car people know that the car in my header is a Pangani Zonda F. What many may not know is the production run of Zonda F is now finished. If you didn’t get one then you’re pretty much out of luck. Don’t despair however. Mr. Pagani will be replacing the Zonda F with the new Zonda R.

The R in Zonda R stands for Racing. A funny term considering this new Zonda will make no concession to any racing regulation or governmental constriction of any sort. The R shows just how much higher the performance bar can be raised when you throw out the rulebook.

The first drawings of the R was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show back in March. Since then, not much news has been released, until now. Today, Pagani Automobili showed off five new computer generated images of their 7.3-liter, 750 horsepower missile.

If the Zonda R looks like a race car, that’s because it pretty much is. The R will not be street legal in any country. However, since it isn’t built to any racing regulations you can’t race it in any racing leagues. The leaves two choices: rent a track and have fun or park it in your living room for static display. With an estimate price of around €2 Million, my guess is many owners will opt for the second option.

You think any of these images would make a good header? If so, which one would you use?

John can already afford one as his blog income is shit compare to his real income. He just chooses not to until he has build a set amount of wealth I suppose.

John, use the 3rd image out of the 5 shown (2nd down from the set of 4 shown above) for the new header image.

I would vote for the 1st image (zonda-r_render-4.jpg) but it will need some retouches as i don’t like the background of the image. But i do LOVE the curves of the Zonda in that image.

Alas, I’m stuck with a mere Lotus for the moment. I second the vote for the third one down from the top, 2nd one in the list of 4. That is a bad ass car. How about an Ultima GTR to hold you over until you pick up a Zonda? I think you can grab a GTR for only around $100k.

Me? I never knew you cared Word Hugger :lol:

I drive (well…really ride) and electric powered scooter. Not quite as sexy as a Zonda R.

I reckon the second pic will work as well as a header. It shows off the second behind of this beast just enough :evil:

I didn’t know that it wasn’t street legal :shock:
It is a stunning car and I think anybody who buys it will just want to add it to their collection of supercars and treat it like a work of art - just to be admired and as an investment.
Regarding images to use, I like the first one.

To show it off, it’s a status symbol. You’re saying I have so much money, I can spend 2 million Euros on a car I can’t even drive.

grabbed from the dealer website:

Interestingly, the Zonda is the only true Supercar that can legally be fully registered in any State in Australia and driven on the roads daily.

Definitely the 2nd one. And people are really crazy for paying over $3mil for a car they can’t use.
Honestly, I rather get this one:

Pretty fast car, way cheaper and kinda unique also

Chose image #2 out of 5 and crop to remove the text. The other four look like they are toy models a little too much in my opinion. Fast cars should look like they’re haulin’

Renault Twingo is my favourite… since I am 207cm tall I have tested many cars and Twingo is the one where is most space for legs and head. So I think this exotic car would be unusable for me. :cry:

But anyway it looks realy nice so you might need residence where you could park it.

I think the best ones for the header would be second and fourth image.

They are all bad for the header, the contrast is to low. The car should stick out, keep your current header image.

Hello John… I would like to add a third choice to the 2 you have already given.
1. Rent a track and have fun
2. Park it in your living room for static display
3. Wish that we were part of a Matrix and plug the computer interface behind our neck and drive that baby all we want. :twisted:

:mrgreen:

Also, you know if you’re rich enough to buy one, you can probably pay the fines if you are caught driving it around.

I vote for the first one. It sorta has a “racing ahead!” feel to it, which works well with the blog theme. The 2nd image looks like the car is stopping and the driver is about to get out and say “Hi!” while the last 2 are just plain bad angles.

Yah, what’s the point in having a car you can’t drive on a street? Pointless.

The first or second pictures would look good, I think. The other ones are good, but I just don’t like the angle on them quite as much. Of course I like the current header a lot, too.

They all look horribly cheesy. I could see how a 14 year old boy might like them, but beyond that, just pure bad taste.

John, maybe you can arrange a photoshoot with you next to this car to use as a header image?
