If you were sad because you think that the Zonda production finished don't worry. The Pagani Automobili is still building special Zondas for their customers. Probably you will see new cars also in the coming year. This time, Pagani produced a very particular car. Its name is Zonda X and it is a very close sister of the well known Zonda UNO. Even if the "760" logo is not present on the car I'm quite sure it features the same specs of the Zonda 760LM.

The most impressive thing of this car is of course the color, which is strictly similar to the famous Baby Blue used by the Royal Qatar Family on their cars. Also the cockpit reminds me of the Zonda UNO, with light blue leather, carbon fiber inserts and aluminum parts anodized (as opposed to the black parts of the Zonda UNO). This car features the sequential gearbox like the most part of the 760s produced.

The paint scheme is the same of the Zonda Cinque but with some differences. For example, the carbon fiber area around the tail lights is painted in light blue, as well as the side skirts. Other things in common with the Zonda UNO are the rear light surroundings painted in italian Tricolore colors, the carbon fiber profiles of the diffuser painted in the same color of the body (same style for the wing and fin).

The car also features the italian bespoke airbox like all 760s, italian Tricolore stripe along the body, light blue brake calipers and will be delivered with anodized magnesium wheels in Zonda Cinque style.

For the moment the destination of this car is unknown, but judging from the style I guess China, more and more supercars owners use to paint their cars in Baby Blue tint.

≪ Previous: Prototype 0 Reveals the Zonda 760 X

This is the third Zonda of the 760 series. The production of this car started around November 2013, I remember I spotted some parts of the car and the chassis inside the factory during a visit.

The car doesn't feature any special name which refers to owner's initials or something else, simply Zonda 760.

This Zonda is quite similar to the 760RS but with some little differences. It is characterized by a fully visible carbon fiber body, with a bordeaux stripe along the center of the car.

Wheels are black with red brake calipers while all the exterior and interior aluminium parts are black.

The car is left hand drive and the cockpit configuration isn't well known, from the pictures is possible to notice the black alcantara but not the colour seats. The car is equipped with sequential gearbox like the 760RS.

The car was spotted the first time during August inside a famous Mercedes dealer garage in Dubai, where the car is registered. It was pictured while it was parked next to a very special Zonda F Roadster, probably both cars belong to the same owner.

Five Pagani at the Lovecars Supercar Run to Salon Privé

≪ Previous: Prototype 0 Presents The New Zonda 760 Delivered In Dubai

Few weeks ago our friends at LoveCars organized a meeting between supercars owners and a run to Salon Privé. At this gathering took part 5 Pagani, 4 Zondas and Huayra driven by Horacio Pagani himself, which was their guest of honor.

Salon Privé is a hospitality-only event appealing to discerning guests, collectors, buyers, owners and enthusiasts who prefer a more intimate and engaging experience. It is a presentation of the very finest automotive and luxury brands as well as the rarest and most valuable of classic cars and motorcycles, all of which are beautifully displayed on the lawns of one the country's most spectacular stately homes, Syon Park.

The day started with breakfast at the Ace Cafe, North London, where a modest line up composed by Pagani, McLaren and Ferrari was exhibited in front of it.
The run from Ace Cafe to the show was a lot of fun and very loud. Arrived at Syon Park, the home of the Salon Privé show, current supercars and vintage classics were showcased, included 3 Ferrari LaFerrari’s, the F12 TRS, Koenigsegg Agera, and a Ferrari 250 GT/L ‘Lusso’ which was sold at the auction for £1.8million (approx. $2.9m USD).

The five Pagani are certainly not gone unnoticed. The Huayra driven by Horacio is a brand new demo car for the chinese market, in fact the car was shipped to Hong Kong after the event. While all the Zonda come from Britain, two Zonda S Roadster (the blue one is the car which marked the end of the model S production), an amazing F Roadster finished in "Singapore Orange" (this is the only Pagani ever produced in this colour) and an incredible Zonda C12, this one is the seventh and very last Zonda produced for the C12 6.0 model, moreover it's also the only one produced with right hand drive. Of course, as you can notice, the car received some updates during the course of its life, this particular car is 14 years old. It's wonderful how the silhouette of this car still looks elegant and actual after so many years.

Over the Pagani Huayra and Zonda also other legendary cars like Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Miura and Countach, McLaren F1 GTR and a very loud Jaguar XJ220S took part at the rally.

A fantastic day and a highly recommended show to attend. A special thanks to the amazing photographer George Williams which did a great work as always.

This is the very first Zonda 760 Roadster, I saw the frame under construction during a visit inside the factory the day of the Vanishing Point start in June 2014. Thanks to the latest pictures on Instagram the car seems to have been completed in last month.

This Roadster is characterized by the classic two-tone colour combination, in this case is very similar to the Zonda Tricolore, fully visible carbon fiber, half clear coated and half with a thin layer of blue paint. The spoiler has a tricolore stripe in the central part while it is not present in the rest of the bodywork.

The cockpit is finished in red leather but from these few pictures is difficult to judge. A special feature of this car is that it is the first 760 not to have led lights. For the moment the car has been pictured only with test wheels so their color, brake calipers, more details of the interior and the country of destination are unknown.

For the moment this is the last Zonda built but for what I know other Zonda will be produced. Finally, a Zonda without many customizations, they were annoying. But this is my own opinion.

Pagani Automobile has confirmed that North America is the Largest market, during this year the 40% of the Huayra produced have been delivered to USA.

Horacio Pagani, CEO and Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili SpA, Italy declared:

"We always knew that the demand for Pagani vehicles from the United States was very high. The Pagani Huayra was the company's most ambitious project so far. Developing a high performance sport cars from scratch to be compliant with EU and US requirements was a challenge our engineers and designers faced with enthusiasm, to create a Pagani vehicle that could be enjoyed by virtually every potential customer, everywhere around the globe. Pagani is the only small volume manufacturer in the world, who manufactures less than 100 vehicles per year and has both EU and US (EPA and CARB) certification for one of its models. The enthusiastic feedback from our US customers and the commercial success only encourages us to further invest in the development of our products".

Francesco Zappacosta, CEO of Pagani Worldwide, San Francisco declared:

In August 2013 Pagani brought to USA its first Pagani Huayra featuring US specifications. Unveiled during the Pebble Beach and Monterey Car Week of the same year this Demo Huayra has aroused great interest in the Pagani brand until now. Since that point Pagani became more and more famous in the States and today it counts six official dealers in North America: the Auto Gallery based in Beverly Hills, Miller Motorcars based in Connecticut, Prestige Imports based in Miami Beach, British Motor Car Distributors, Pagani of Dallas and Pfaff Automotive Partners.

Even in 2014 summer the Demo Huayra has received a lot of attentions.

About ten Huayras have been delivered to USA until now.

Pagani Unveils the Pagani Huayra Dinastia Edition during the 2014 Macau Auto Show

November 7, 2014, 2:56 am

≫ Next: Pagani Huayra 730S Revealed

≪ Previous: Pagani Zonda X Delivered to Hong Kong

During the Macau Auto Show which took place on 7th November 2014, Pagani China Automotive Limited (PCAL) showcased the new Pagani Huayra Dinastia edition to the public. This special Huayra will be produced to celebrate the launch of PCAL operations in Hong Kong for China and Macau. This limited edition is a symbolic signature of a great emperor. The imperial power in dynasties is represented by dragons that are the major spiritual significance in the Chinese culture.

During the previous visit in China, Mr. Horacio Pagani went to Beijing and when he entered the Forbidden City for the first time, looking at the Nine Dragons Wall, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the dragons body shape, the floating in the sky reminding him of the wind.

On his return back to Italy he sat down in his office and realized that some work was still unfinished. After picking up his pen Horacio started drawing some sketches on a paper. Instantly he integrated the shape of the dancing dragon along the two sides of the Huayra body.

Thanks to his interest in the Chinese culture, Mr. Pagani then decided to create 3 units out of 100 Huayra limited edition to celebrate the establishment of Pagani China Automotive Limited in Asia. Why only 3 limited edition? In China, the way how number 3 is pronounced in Chinese language, sounds like the character sheng, which is the meaning of “life, new birth”.

For these three units Mr. Pagani has chosen three distinct colors and applied them on these carbon body works.

These special editions will be mainly sold to area with PCAL coverage so China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Of course, all Huayras are bespoke in one way or another, but Pagani Huayra Dinastia features some more unique components, a unique paint work and interior design. The ‘Dinastia’ logo at the back also adds to the appeal of these three special models.

The body is slightly changed with a small rear fin (which reminds me to the Zonda Tricolore) and some other small changes at the front splitter (which looks like the one mounted on the PT1) and the side parts. We can also notice that the exhaust looks different from the standard one.

Being Pagani, these units are characterized by special shades of red, blue and green.

They are in fact a light tint on the carbon fiber body showing off the carbon weave underneath. We already saw this special paint on various pagani cars in the past.

Thanks to the Chinese Passion of Mr Pagani, the Dinastia edition is born.

Blue Carbon - Baxia, the dragon that floats in the water. The water, element that flows like wind, goes along with Huayra elliptical shapes.

Gold Carbon - Yazi, the dragon that was born like a warrior, wearing a golden armour that empower it to face every challenge.

Red Carbon - Chiwen, the dragon that causes rain and protect people from fire. Thanks to the red colour isn’t affected by fire flames.

This is the second one-off Pagani Huayra to be built after the famous Huayra “La Monza Lisa”. The first infos about this car started come out in September when the Mexican supercar collector by the name of @salomondrin on Instagram, announced he had ordered a custom 1 of 1 Pagani Huayra dubbed the 730S Edition. Then, no news until yesterday when the owner posted on his Instagram profile the official renders of the car.

The car is very special, it is characterized by a fully visible Carbon Fiber body, half normal and half lightly tinted in blue, both kind of Carbon Fiber are surrounded by Tricolore stripes on top while at the bottom it features golden side stripes and golden wheels. The lucky owner took inspiration from his favorite Pagani model, the Zonda Tricolore, with the addition of of a bit of Zonda R spirit, both styles mixed into one car which makes his ideal Pagani Huayra. For what concern the interior it is characterized by blue leather with white stitching, fully visible carbon fiber and all the aluminium parts are anodized while the passenger airbag is not present according to the rendering.

For the moment it's still unclear what distinguish the 730S Edition from a ‘standard’ Pagani Huayra, we do expected some special upgrades similar to the recently revealed Pagani Huayra La Monza Lisa but in my own opinion mechanically it's identical to all the other Huayra produced with the Track Pack option.

I had the opportunity to see the car at the factory during my last visit in November, the car was half hidden by a cover but from what I saw, it looks much better in real than in renderings.

≪ Previous: Pagani Huayra 730S Revealed

This is the very first Zonda 760 Roadster. This car is not an old Zonda upgraded, this car is built on a brand new carbon titanium chassis. It is one of the latest Zonda of the production. We already talked about this car in October when it was spotted at the factory during the tests.

I think that this Roadster is probably one of the best Zonda delivered during the last three years. It is characterized by the classic two-tone color combination, fully visible carbon fiber body, the main central part is painted with a thin layer of blue paint while the lower part and the characteristics parts such like the fenders, spoiler and fin are finished in clear coated carbon fiber. The spoiler features an italian tricolore stripe in the middle part which is not present in the rest of the bodywork. The black wheels with blue central nut perfectly match with the rest of the body, this paint scheme reminds me to the Zonda Tricolore, what a pity that the brake calipers are black and not blue.

The cockpit is quite easy and very elegant, it's characterized by black leather and alcantara with blue stitchings and anodized aluminum parts. Even if this car is a 760, it doesn't have the typical led lights, but standard Zonda F headlights. The tail lights surroundings are anodized. The most amazing feature of this car is the gearbox, which is manual like the Zonda 760 LH.

The car was unveiled during the weekend in London when it had a brief stop at Topaz Detailing while it was on its way to Middle East. Topaz is the UK's most exclusive vehicle detailing and paint protection film specialist's, handling the largest volume of supercars anywhere in the world.

Pagani Zonda F Destroyed in Dubai

≪ Previous: First Pagani Zonda 760 Roadster Unveiled

The well known Zonda F chassis N°69 suffered damage in an accident during the past weekend in Dubai.

The car was just bought from less than a month and some sources are suggesting that it was just registered from few days. As of a few days ago it was still in the dealer's showroom with the copper Huayra.

The cockpit looks in good condition and according to the people there the driver and passenger survived without injury.

It's not clear what really happened. The car features damages at the front, rear and sides, it probably hit many obstacles but no major singular impact. Front frame is gone, the right hand side crash absorber is bended, right suspension snapped. Rear end probably has similar damage, the left hand side suspension failed, probably the frame was damaged as well while the main tub seems ok.

I love its configuration, especially the double carbon spoiler and I really hope it will be rebuilt according to the same specs and not converted to 760 specs.

Pagani Huayra Production Sold Out

≪ Previous: Pagani Zonda F Destroyed in Dubai

According to a recent report, all the Pagani Huayra have been sold out. The first edition of the Pagani Huayra was limited to just 100 units as part of the agreement with AMG which supplies the car's twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine that develops 730 HP. Of course all the cars are not yet produced, we were talking only about orders, and it will take a bit of time until all the units will have been produced. It's also rumored that the next Huayra version will not be unveiled during the upcoming Geneva Motor Show and as a consequence the Roadster variant will delay until 2017.

Anyway, let's see some Huayras recently delivered.

The last one to be delivered is a Huayra featuring a fully visible carbon fiber body and gold wheels. The car reached Hong Kong two days ago and was spotted by our photographer Ron Alder W Photography. The car is right hand drive and for the moment the cockpit configuration is not known.

Another lovely Huayra has been delivered last week during a private event for Pagani customers at Yas Marina race track in Abu Dhabi. The car is pretty similar to the 730S but it features some differences like matt grey Zonda R wheels, white side stripes which perfectly match with withe brake caliper. The cockpit is characterized by brown and white leather.

Another special car is the Huayra delivered to Japan by the Pagani dealer Bingo Sport. The car configuration consists in a fully visible carbon fiber body slightly tinted in gold tint. The lowest and the highest parts are painted in yellow like the brake calipers while the wheels are white. All the aluminum parts of the car like emblems and lights surroundings are black.

My favorite is the 730S which finally reached its owner in USA. This masterpiece is a Tribute to the Zonda Tricolore, with the addition of Zonda R spirit. Both the styles were mixed into one car which make it the best Pagani Huayra delivered until now.

The Pagani Zonda GJ has been Crashed Again

≫ Next: Prototype 0 Reveals the New Pagani Zonda 760 JC

≪ Previous: Pagani Huayra Production Sold Out

A very sad week for Pagani that sees two of their beautiful Zondas destroyed in accidents. After the F crashed in Dubai last weekend, yesterday it happened to the well known Zonda GJ from Britain. The accident had place outside London when the driver lost control of the car. HR Owen is the UK dealer and their workshop for supercars is in the area. I suspect an employee may have crashed it showing off while testing it. It was reported lots of revving being heard beforehand.

This car is not very lucky since this is the second time it is involved in an accident. Originally manufactured as a right-hand drive C12 S Coupé, chassis number '46' was sent back to the factory in late 2009 for accident repairs and upgrading to high-performance 'F' specification. Completed in 2010, this work included the incorporation of some Zonda Cinque features such as two front splitters, side skirts and mirrors while at the rear the car received Zonda Tricolore air ducts, wing and diffusers. Inside, the centre console was replaced, a Zonda F dashboard installed, and the entire interior re-trimmed in black leather with contrasting red stitching. The vendor's initials – 'GJ'– were engraved on the centre console and front bumper. Mechanical improvements included a switch to forged aluminum Zonda F wheels complete with titanium nuts and bolts, and an upgrade of all suspension groups with carbon-ceramic brakes (4-piston red calipers at the front and 6-piston at the rear). A Zonda F Club Sport stainless steel exhaust system was fitted complete with ceramic-coated manifolds, which also involved replacing bulkheads, brackets, gearbox/engine supports, etc. The result of the exhaust and air intake changes was an increase in maximum power of nearly 25bhp. For the conversion and upgrading, Pagani charged a total of €326,820 (approximately £261,500) including taxes (invoices on file). The car's original purchase price was €424.280 (approximately £339,400).

The car has been for sale for quite a long period, first at the British dealer Joe Macari, later at the dealer Amian Cars based in Cologne. In February 2014 the car received another upgrade, the fully visible matt carbon fiber body got a transparent finish. It was also auctioned by Bonham’s in 2012 where it failed to sell. It isn’t clear if the car had already traded hands before the accident.

It will be nice to see the Pagani Zonda GJ being rebuilt, by logic this time as a 760.

≪ Previous: The Pagani Zonda GJ has been Crashed Again

After a sad week where we lost two beautiful Zonda, we start a new week by revealing a new birth. A new crazy Zonda 1 of 1 has been revealed. It's name is Zonda JC, which are owner's initials. This is not an old Zonda upgraded but a brand new carbontitanium chassis and of course it's a 760 based car even if the real power hasn't been declared yet.

The Zonda JC features a fully visible carbon fiber body like most of the original 760s and it is characterized by pink accents and a purple dragon running on both sides. The cockpit presents black leather and alcantara with pink stitchings and also the wheels recall the same style, black rims with pink brake calipers. The main peculiarity of the Zonda JC, as the Zonda LM is the front bonnet which is totally new with unique headlights with a carbon eyebrow. Also the rear wing is different, wider than the standard 760 wing, it has a sub element underneath just as the Revoluciòn and different side pillars. The brake air intakes at the rear come from the Zonda R. This is the mysterious car spotted a while ago while it was being tested around the factory in Italy.

This is the caption translation written by the owner under the photo:

This car was inspired by the words I said to Mr Pagani two years ago "I want a street legal Zonda R", but Pagani could never convert the zonda R for road use due to regulations, thus they built for him a car inspired by the Zonda R. Horacio didn't allow the staff to use 800 hp engine from the Zonda R, so they tuned the 760 engine up to 780 hp; otherwise the customers wouldn't be happy. It's believed that these elements will appear in future on custom Zondas".

Obviously the Zonda JC will go to China. It is also known that the owner also owns the purple-carbon Huayra, the Veyron Merveilleux edition, a carbon-pink Koenigsegg One:1, a McLaren P1, a Porsche 918 with Martini livery, a complete white Ferrari LaFerrari and so on. Maybe you remember him when he took part at the DPR rally in November 2014. You can watch the video of its delivery at owner's Instagram profile here.

We are pleased to be the first to share this beauty, and after a bad period where we lost two Zonda, is good to see new models taking life. This brand new Zonda is named ZoZo, it isn't an already existing Zonda upgraded as most of you asked me via email.

The car has a new carbotitanium chassis, it features all the 760 specs and it's quite similar to the Zonda 760 LH. The main difference can be seen at the rear end, the car features two additional red lights above the standard lights(which are blackened), these, have been inspired by early Zonda R renderings from 2007.

As you can see the dorsal fin is missing, I don't know if it will be mounted in the future but I don't think so.

For the moment the car is almost finished, from the pictures you can notice the matt grey test wheels. The car will be probably delivered with dark wheels which perfectly match with the purple brake calipers and the rest of the body.

The car will be delivered in Japan by the Pagani dealer Bingosports based in Tokyo. A special thanks to Yusaku Maezawa, founder of Japan's largest online fashion mall, Zozotown (from where the" Zonda ZoZo" name derives), who shared pictures of his car with us.

The car shows on the rear wheel arches lower fenders that in part cover the wheels. Those elements remind me to the Le Mans Group C prototype jaguar XJR 9 "Silk Cut".

All of these characteristics have never been seen before on a Pagani.

≪ Previous: The Zonda ZoZo Reveals Itself More Special Than You Thought

I know most of you expected to see the Huayra S or the Huayra Roadster at Geneva this year thought I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until 2016. Actually this year for Pagani neither of the new Huayra’s were revealed and the Italian luxury auto maker showcased two Pagani Huayra’s, one EU spec car and an US spec car. We kinda knew the Roadster wouldn’t be ready for a while, but we were hoping to get a glimpse of the speculated S.

The red Huayra shown is one of the first Huayra’s delivered, chassis #007. This car was built in 2013 and is the same car that was showcased at the Geneva Motor Show and Top Marques Monaco in the same year.

It was also filmed together with a blue Zonda S Roadster owned by the same UK owner (lucky man).

The car is finished in the classic two-tone color combination, a dark red paint called “Dubai Red” and exposed carbon fiber. It’s right hand drive and the cockpit is characterized by blue leather with red stitchings and carbon fiber inserts. It’s equipped with the Track-Pack and when the car was originally delivered it was on matt gold wheels, but now features polished magnesium wheels with red brake calipers.

The second car is one of the newest Huayra’s, chassis #096, and it’s US spec.

This can be recognized by the orange and red side reflectors and stretched mirrors. This amazing Huayra features a fully visible carbon fiber body finished with a slightly tinted in blue paint, this effect can be obtained thanks to a drop of ink in the transparent paint.

The effect is the same of the Huayra 730S and the well known Zonda Tricolore. The thing I appreciated most of this Huayra is the cockpit, which features cocoa leather and carbon fiber. The car is also equipped with Track-Pack, anodized wheels and red brake calipers.

For me it was also nice to meet the Lamborghini enthusiast @forza_lamborghini who brought with him one of the very first and rare Zonda C12 6.0 brochure from Geneva 1999 signed by Horacio Pagani himself.

It has been working in this field since 1985 and since 1987 has organized ‘Auto e Moto d'Epoca’ at the exhibition center in Padua. For this exhibition Intermeeting is organizing in collaboration with VeronaFiere this new Italian event only for classic cars:Verona Legend Cars. The stage: where there is space not only for exhibiting, but even for buying and selling, competing, organizing.

In occasion of the last edition of Verona Legend Cars that took place during the weekend of 8-9-10 May, two amazing Pagani Zonda were showcased inside the show.

The red Zonda F Coupè is a very special car for Pagani, it is one of the first Zonda F built back in 2005/2006. The car is painted in Dubai red and it features beige interior. During the years it got some upgrades such as a Cinque exhaust, a bigger spoiler, brake air scoops and some more things.

The other car is a very rare Zonda Cinque Roadster, specifically the car 3 of 5. It is characterized by the classic Cinque livery and features black leather and alcantara interior with red Zonda Cinque badges. This car spent a lot of time in UK, maybe you remember it in London together with the other cars owned by the Al-Thani royal family.

Both cars were showcased at the stand of the supercars dealer Mistral Motors. They are located in Verona and they deal with luxury cars, vintage and modern, rare and special brands such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani, Bugatti and many more since a lot of years.

The season of motorsport events is now started for weeks, and the Pagani Automobili couldn't start it better.

Just after the Geneva Motor Show, which is the event that marks the beginning of the petrolheads season, the Pagani began to take part at many events, among the most important stand out: the Cars and Coffee Italy, the Vmax200, the Gumball 3000, the Gold Rush Rally and Wilton Classic & Supercar Show, the last one was organized in a different period from the usual. Rather, it was a shame not to see even a Pagani in Monte Carlo for the Top Marques of Monaco this year. But the season has just begun, there will be also the second Pagani rally in USA, the Quail Motorsports Event, the Concours d'Elegance of Peeble Beach and many others.

Meanwhile, we are preparing for the upcoming eleventh edition of the annual Pagani Gathering, the Vanishing Point. So stay tuned on our social pages on Facbook and Instagram for a lot of amazing exclusive contents, this year's edition will be very special.

Here are some photos of the events:

Cars and Coffee Italy

The Cars & Coffee is the event which is depopulating in Italy. These guys have the purpose of gathers petrolheads, supercar and classic car owners without any preference of brand and year. Imported in Italy in 2012, quickly it proved to be a national success for its simplicity, but also for an always meticulous organization focused on the participant's attention. Pagani attended the last edition which took place in Brescia. They participated with two Pagani, the Huayra Prototype 1 used for the filming of Transformers 4 and a beautiful Zonda F characterized by a Dubai Red body paint, fully visible carbon fiber, anodized wheels and red brake calipers. Pagani also brought at the event Horacio's Porsche Carrera GT and Ford GT. Don't miss the next C&C that will be held in Turin in September.

Vmax200

Vmax200 is the UK's premier top-speed driving event where owners of sports cars, supercars and hypercars gather at a private runway to drive their cars to their limits. Amongst the non-stop action, participants set off in pairs and test their cars 0-60mph times as well as their top speeds. Since its launch in 2002, Vmax200 has hosted the World’s most exotic and iconic cars as owners come to explore their limits in a safe and controlled environment. Recent events saw a supercar showdown which featured the McLaren P1 & F1, Koenigsegg CCX, La Ferrari & Bugatti Veyron amongst others. Vmax200 is the ultimate day out for every driver! At this year's edition a very rare Pagani attended the event, this car is a black Zonda F equipped with black leather with red stitching interior, magnesium polished wheels and red brake calipers. This car was built in 2007, was sold to Andorra, then it was never seen for a lot of years. It has been sold recently to UK by the dealer Amian Exclousive Cars.

Gumball 3000

The Gumball 3000 is a non-competitive rally long 3000 miles (5000 km), which takes place annually on different roads opened to the traffic, usually it lasts 6 days. At this year's edition started in Stockholm and passed through Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam where the cars have flight across the Atlantic Ocean to Reno, continuing onto San Francisco, Los Angeles and ending in Las Vegas! The Huayra US Demo car (with a special wrap made by SSCustoms) attended the event while the well known 1 of 1 Huayra 730S took part only for one day.

Gold Rush Rally

The goldRush Rally is an annual trendsetting celebration and one of the fastest growing social events & lifestyle brands. This exciting event is a mixture of an exotic & supercar rally, nightlife parties, celebrities, DJ's, and VIP participants. At this year's edition took part two Pagani Huayra, the Huayra 730S and the US Demo car.

Wilton Classic & Supercar Show

The ultimate supercar and classics show. As the Cars & Coffee, this event has the purpose to gather supercar and classics without any preference of brand and age. This year’s Wilton Classic & Supercar show has been hailed as a huge success after 15,000 visitors flocked to see more than 500 of the world’s most impressive, exciting and expensive cars. Bugattis, McLarens and Aston Martins lined up together with historic F1 cars in the grounds of Wilton House with warm, sunny weather providing the perfect backdrop for the weekend. This year's edition wasn't so epic as the 2013 edition in terms of Pagani, the stunning yellow Huayra of my friend arrived from Taiwan and it was the only Pagani that attended the event.

Prototype 0 Introduces The New Pagani Zonda 760 Kiryu

≪ Previous: 2015 - The Most Active Year for Pagani Events

A new wild beast is born at the Pagani Automobili factory, her name is Pagani Zonda 760 Kiryu, and she is the second 760 Roadster built (not counting the LM Roadster). Few hours ago, the Japanese Pagani dealer Bingo Sports based in Tokyo, shared on their facebook page some pictures of this new monster. The pictures show the car arrival on board a truck at the showroom where it is parked next to the lovely Zonda F #092.

The more attentive readers will have noticed a marked resemblance to the Zonda Revoluciòn 5 of 5 that we showcased a while ago, in fact, I think that the Zonda 760 Kiryu belongs to the same owner.

The car features a fully visible carbon fiber body slightly painted in blue tint, black magnesium wheels, blue brake calipers and blue and burnished details around the body, maybe also inside the engine bay.

While the cockpit configuration is still unknown but my guess would be: blue leather and black alcantara with carbon fiber panels and blue details. The car is also equipped with a 7 speed sequential gearbox.

This Zonda is the second 760 delivered to Japan, maybe you remember the special Zonda ZoZo. For the moment, these are the unique pictures and informations I have on this car, but stay tuned for more, I will publish them on my facebook page Prototype Zero.

Pagani UK Launch and Supercar Run to Salon Privé

A small Pagani rally took place at the beginning of September, in occasion of the opening of the new Pagani dealer in London. The gathering has started at the new dealership that will be the official Pagani headquarters in the UK, and guests visited the showroom and service centre.

The atmosphere inside the building recalls the Pagani factory, with pictures showing the Horacio's work and aluminum lathed parts used for the Pagani Huayra. A stunning Huayra configured with every possible option, Zonda R wheels and painted in the lovely colour named "New York Pearl White" was exhibited at the entrance of the building. That's the Pagani demo car for the UK market, we already talked about this car one year ago, in occasion of the Lovecars Supercar Run to Salon Privé.

The famous Zonda Nero was inside the service room, while in the storage room were parked three Huayras (among which the well known chassis #001), a Zonda S painted in "London Grey" (only two cars were painted in this shade of grey, this one and Harry Metcalfe's Zonda) and a "French Blue" Zonda S Roadster, this car is the last Zonda S built. The warehouse has been set up for dinner and all the cars were moved outside to make way for the tables.

The rally consisted in a 50 miles trip with Salon Privé 2015 as destination, a concours and supercar show held at Blenheim Palace. Other rarities such as a black Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari F40, Porsche 918, Lexus LFA and another blue Zonda S joined the convoy. Once arrived at Salon Privé the Paganis have been parked all together.

Another Zonda joined the event, it was an S Roadster painted in Dubai Red, this car was owned by a famous Pagani collector and it was also used for official press shots. The people’s choice award was won exactly by the red Zonda Roadster. The award was accepted by the owner alongside Horacio Pagani.

The new Pagani UK dealership is vital for the success of the marque, don't forget that not long time ago, UK was the most important country for the Pagani market. I remember years ago, when UK was the most important country for the Pagani market, and dealers like Bob Forstner and H.R. Owen, which had their showrooms always full of Pagani cars.
