The full carbon fiber body shows a new engine hood configuration, a new rear hood design where two NACA-style air vents work as air extractors, further differentiating the Roadster from the C12S. Furthermore, handling has been improved with the use of FOMB-APP aluminum wheels that measure 255/35 ZR 19 in front and 345/35 ZR 19 at the back, all shod with specially developed Michelin tires. The interior is just as extreme in design and detailing. Sections of unadorned carbon fiber are still visible on the center tunnel and door frames. Machined aluminum covers the dash and center console, with the finest leather covering most other surfaces. Toggle switches activate accessories like the foglights, and small, round gauges are tucked behind a simple, squared-off steering wheel. There’s even an audio system, should the wild howl of the V12 not be to your liking for the day. Sit inside the Zonda, and between your legs, recessed into the deeply bolstered bucket, will be a large knob for adjusting the seat height. Each Zonda Roadster, like the C12S, will be perfectly tailor-fit to the taste of the individual owner. The Zonda Roadster obviously has the looks and performance of a classic supercar. It has the price tag to match: expected price is at least USD380,000 and the requisite exclusivity: only 40 units will be produced. The only thing missing from the Pagani pedigree is a proper racing heritage. Word is that this will soon be put right: the Zonda is headed to race at the 12 Hours of Sebring, and soon after that, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. |
