We experience Pagani's £1.3 million track star up close

After a long silence from super-exotic Italian manufacturer Pagani Automobili, suddenly we’re summoned to the famous Monza circuit to become one of the first magazines to watch the extraordinary new Zonda R up close, at the track.

First off, the Pagani Zonda R starts at the heady price of £1.3 million before taxes and any personal add-ons. It is gorgeous work however, and the technologies aboard are all cutting edge. Only fifteen examples are planned and eleven have already sold according to Pagani.

This unit you see here, number 001, is built to an absolute minimalist specification - total weight before a driver and fuel is added is just 1000 kg. Keeping things light is the world’s first carbon-titanium chassis. Rigidity is doubled and weight is slashed by a third versus the road-going Zonda F. Almost everything else on the car, from the gaping front splitter to the massive rear wing, is either carbon-fibre or titanium, apart from the lightweight steel rollcage and milled aluminium suspension arms.

I wouldn't dare to sit behind the wheel of that car, it's too frightening.

Hell yeah, insanity just how I like it

It takes too much for Artist to reply. It's very worring. I think he's heading there to kill those guys and steal the car

I NEED to find out more about this:

Amazingly, customers can have their Zonda R calibrated to a range of power outputs they desire via the latest generation onboard software - not yet available to any other manufacturer.

This thing is so badass that mothers show pictures of this car to naughty kids to make them sleep at night.

"Go to sleep little one or the Zonda_R will come!!"

I'll never drive on... leave alone pushing! Just because if I crash it, I won't forgive me for that! She is indeed a master-piece!

It's a car man...it's meant to be driven. I would rather drive it into the wall at 150mph than let it sit in a garage just so people can look it.

Hmmm... I'd just put it in a cage and then feed it Jeremy Clarkson.

Lol

It's very interesting what Artist posted about the power adjustments according to driver liking through on board computer,we definitely wanna know more about this!
