Noone Talks About This Little Car (Pagani Zonda)

[JollySipper]

I just discovered this little car in a video game. I had never heard of it.... I was kinda wondering why? I've read up on it some, and it seems to deserve supercar status, I think. Carbon Fiber body and an Italian V12........  and it's kinda cute!

They had one in an episode of Top Gear. It had trouble getting out of a hotel car park in some European city on account of it being so low and wide.

Apart from that, I agree, it is the ideal shopping car.

Love the Zonda. It started off Pagani's reputation for bonkers design and exquisite execution. Although Pagani does build the cars, the engines are Mercedes AMG V12s. I'd love for Aoshima to release a Zonda as a companion  to the Huayra!

Back in 2006, when it cost a measly $1.3 million, your Pagani Zonda also came with a set of matched luggage. In your choice of either leather or ostrich hide.

Wait, there's more!  You also got a pair of driving shoes, custom made by Adriano Stefanelli.  Who, at the time, was the official shoe-maker to the Pope. The shoes matched your choice of luggage, of course.

I'm old enough to remember this being new, and surpassing Ferrari and Lamborghini for my dream car.  The cool thing, when Pagani was a kid, he built models.  Do wish a kit would be done, all there are is diecast.

Thanks for the correction on that! I had only glanced over the Wikipedia page........
