Pagani Zonda Revolucion – 800 hp, 730 Nm, 1,070 kg!

Pagani Zonda Revolucion

What? Another Zonda? Why yes, and why not – although it’s been around since 1999, it must surely rank as one of the greatest hypercars of the modern era and as we know from recent history, it simply refuses to die. So put your hands together now for the Pagani Zonda Revolucion.

The familiar 6.0 litre Mercedes-AMG V12 has been tuned to produce a whopping 800 hp and 730 Nm of torque (Zonda R 740 hp, 709 Nm), and because the Revolucion tips the scales at a remarkable 1.07 tonnes (thanks to a carbon-titanium monocoque), this translates to a power-to-weight ratio of 748 hp per tonne. That’s more than the McLaren P1.

The Pagani Zonda Revolucion features improved aerodynamics through the inclusion of new bonnet deflectors and a vertical rear stabiliser, while its ABS has been updated. Its Bosch traction control has no fewer than 12 settings and its magnesium six-speed sequential ‘box changes gears in 20 milliseconds.

Also new are the brake discs – they’re Brembo CCMR units, weighing 15% less than the previous CCM discs and offering more stiffness as well as lower operating temperatures. The life of the disc, Pagani says, is four times longer than before.

The rear wing incorporates a Drag Reduction System – the driver can switch between maximum and minimum downforce settings via a button on the steering wheel. Holding the button down for more than two seconds puts the DRS in auto mode.

Want one? Of course you do, and here are the obstacles: €2.2 million (RM8.9 million) plus taxes, and according to CarBuzz, only five will be made – four of which have already been sold. Bother!

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

  • I know the Huayra is awesome looking and sounds great, but it’s just no match to it’s predecessor the Zonda(even the name sounds better). And nothing comes close to the noise the NA 7.0l V12 produces. The Revolucion looks abit overdone with the bits of Carbon Aero sticking out, Much prefer the Zonda Cinque for looks and 760LH for powertrain.

    Taib mahmud from Sarawak can afford no less than 10 easily. So sad Zonda is only able to make 5!

  • That price is outrageously expensive. Although the Veneno is even more expensive.

    Horacio Pagani really knows how to make a buck out of his creation.

    Still, you can’t deny that this is a beautiful beast and sounds incredible too!
