In the world of sports and exotic cars, there are only a handful of vehicles that occupy the upper crust of every enthusiasts’ mind. The Pagani Zonda R is perhaps at the very top of that upper crust! Hypercar doesn’t begin to describe the jaw-dropping style, visceral sound, and astounding engineering the Zonda R has. It is the pinnacle of Mr. Horacio Pagani’s effort and hard work on the previous Zonda road-going cars that has culminated in the Zonda R. From the onset, the raw carbon-fiber body of the Zonda R is a spectacular sight; menacing, purposeful, and built to perform, the Zonda R is the ultimate track car for the ultra-rich. Yes, at $1.8M, the Pagani Zonda R is not a car for the rich, it is a toy for the mega wealthy who ship their cars across the world to race around tracks for the weekend.

The Zonda R, with forged-magnesium center-lock wheels and race-derived 6.0L Mercedes CLK-GTR engine, churns out an enormous 750 BHP and 525 ft.-lbs. of torque. Coupled with the monstrous engine are carbon ceramic brakes that give the Zonda R incredible stopping power and a Formula One (F1) style exhaust system made of titanium! Amazingly, even the wheel bolts on the Zonda R are made from titanium sparing no expense for ultimate performance.

The Zonda R smashed the Nurburgring Nordschleife track record with a lighting-fast time of 6:47. In fact, this event was so special that Pagani decided to put that record as a sticker on every Zonda R made.

Here is an mind-bending video of the Pagani Zonda R made by Runimation Studios, the official filmmakers for Pagani:
