Pagani Zonda R
The Pagani Zonda F is an intuitive road car that is easy to drive that sets the standard for safety, comfort, and reduced overall weight. Completed in high quality finish plus attention to detail make the Zonda F one of the most coveted supercars which has translated into the selling out in quite a brief period of time of its 25 Coupe variants. Meanwhile, the Zonda R, the design of which was started from the bottom up, comes with only about 10 percent of the components of the Zonda F. Special features would include: Avional forged suspension, fresh Pagani 6-speed transversal sequential gear, monocoque in carbon fiber, and a four pump fuel tank. The machine comes with an extended wheelbase by about 47mm compared to the Zonda F and an overall height by 394mm while the track is boosted by about 50mm.
Aerodynamics and body structure have been enhanced to generate the maximum downforce. Although intended for the track, the Zonda R was finished with Pagani road car quality. The engine under the hood of the Zonda comes from racing specialists at Mercedes AMG equipped with dry sump for lower center of gravity. The self-sufficient powerplant, which generates 750hp at 8000 rpm and 710Nm of torque is outfitted with a high-performance lightweight carbon fiber air intake system, F1-based exhaust system that was hydroformed in Inconel 625 and coated in ceramic for optimum heat dissipation, and a racing clutch with multiple disc sinter.
Equipped with longer front hood complete with flaps, closed underbody and rear overhang that comes with an adaptable rear wing and a racing-based diffuser all combine to produce tremendous aerodynamics that enables unbelievable cornering velocities. Downforce is logged and displayed constantly providing a sound basis for adapting the wings for the best configuration at each track. The inside is so designed to accommodate both driver and passenger on customized seats with the highest support possible especially when issues concerning G-force come to the fore. The instrument panel from Digitek offers important details and sophisticated telemetry via a host of sensors that simultaneously monitor all car components.
