The new Zonda Model is the fastest, the strongest, most exclusive and most expensive convertible sports car in the world, said Horacio Pagani about his last creation.
Safety is the only rule Zonda R accepts because liberty is the word that fully characterises this car, as it’s target is the ultimate performance at the racetrack without any implications of rules.
The engine is built by the racing specialists at Mercedes AMG, where the championship winning DTM cars are born, as well as the CLK GTR, probably the most devastating and effective weapon ever to compete in the GT series. From it’s engine the Zonda R borrows the basic architecture including an ingenious dry sump allowing a low centre of gravity. This self-supporting engine with 750 hp at 8000 rpm and 710 Nm of torque carries a lightweight carbon fibre high-performance intake system, a racing multiple disc sintered clutch and Formula 1 style exhaust system, hydroformed in Inconel 625 and ceramic coated for optimal heat dissipation.

Most certainly the power unit combined with a 6 speed transversal manual sequential synchronised gearbox will satisfy the most ambitious drivers.
The central carbon chassis will incorporate a roll cage and a rubber racing fuel tank with 4 fuel pumps and quick refuel filler like on GT race cars. Best stability is provided by the wheelbase has been increased by 47mm. The front and rear subframes are brand-new, built to accommodate a new suspension geometry, produced in avional. The magnesium forged rims with central wheel nut and a quick pneumatic lifting system allows fast and effortless changes of the slick tyres.The new bodywork has been honed to offer elevated downforce even in low speed corners. The longer front bonnet with flaps, closed underbody and the rear overhang with the adjustable rear wing and race derived diffuser translate into shattering aerodynamic efficiency and will let you experience cornering speeds beyond imagination.The interior is designed to accommodate the driver and passenger in bespoke seats, built to offer the best support, when the G-forces from the vehicle dynamics come into question.The Digitek instrumentation provides the essential information and a sophisticated telemetry allows through a variety of sensors to monitor every single component of the carEven though it was built for the track, if the quality and finish of the car and its details were not up to the level of the Pagani road cars, the project would not have received a kick off.
The Pagani customers who have ordered the Zonda R will be relieved of almost 1.2 million.

Geneva Auto Show is the host for The brand-new, long-awaited Maserati GranTurismo, styled by Pininfarina.The key words that describe the interior style are: modernity, elegance, craftsmanship, sportiness, liveability.Starting with the qualities that make it very pleasant when speaking of every day enjoyment (more room in the back than the average for the segment, the rear seats that have been designed to accommodate two adults comfortably even on long journeys, attractive design, wide range of materials, leather, woods and colour combinations available) and continuing with the strong visual impact inspired by the lines of the Pininfarina Birdcage 75th concept car, you can say that Maserati GranTurismo is definetly a car that outshines many other manufacturers.
The attention to detail exudes from a number of features such as the subtle chrome inlay that elegantly decorates the buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel, the Trident logo hand-crafted on the seat headrests, the Alcantara trim lining the back of the gear change paddles, the leather belt fitting, front seats, beautifully handcrafted.
As technical specifications that makes this high-performance sports car very exciting to drive, we can mention:
- V8 4.2 engine with 405 hp at 7,100 rpm and maximum torque of 460 Nm at 4,750 rpm, of which 75% is already achievable at 2,500 revs. Its maximum speed is 285 km/h, and it accelerates from 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds.
- Weight distribution is 49% on the front, 51% at the rear.
- The gearbox is automatic with self-adjusting controls which adapt the gear change to the driving style and conditions.
- The car is 4,881 mm long with a wheel base of 2,942 mm. The standard wheel rim is 19 or 20 as an option.
Once again, the the Maserati - Pininfarina team has produced an exciting car whose construction, unique and inimitable style sets it apart from the competition, which makes the name of the new model - Maserati GranTurismo- not to seem as a coincidence at all.

A new race car has been created by the Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg this year, on March 2nd, based on the production CC-model range.The homologated GT1 racer, the CCGT will be presented at the Geneva Show, on March the 3rd.
The Koenigsegg Development team has done a great job by refining the CC into the CCGT. The CCGT engine is based on the Koenigsegg CCX production engine with the superchargers removed but enlarged to 5.0 litre, in order to comply with the ACO and FIA GT1 regulations.
Most manufacturers are trying undergo massive weight saving programs, as the minimum wight allowed for a GTI race car is 1,100kg. Considering the fact that the racing CCGT wighs under 1.000 kg - which gives the possibility to place 100 kg of ballast freely within the car structure. Koenigsegg will definetly have an advantage over the competition. On the other hand, the CCGT has pretty short overhands which could be an issue when it comes to generating enough downforce. Still, by further developing the clever and “slippery” design concept of the CC range, Koenigsegg believes they have created a unique package incorporating a surprising amount of down-force combined with a very compact package and optimal weight distribution. The advantage over most of the competition will definately be seen in the future racing combats, since since the CCGT has a short overall length and low overall height, whilst still maintaining adequate track width and length. The reliability of the race engine is expected be exceptional as it is based on the proven strength and durability of the significantly more powerful road car engine.The race engine is being developed in-house in parallel with the production units by Koenigsegg engineers, supported by Anders Hoglund from Cargine engineering and JP Motorsport.

The Jaguar Xj220 is one of the forgotten super cars and it was produced in 1992 by Jaguar,The super car was the most fastest car in that time.The vehicle features,a 3,5 l V6 engine generates 549 horsepower at 7000 rpm,six speed manual transmission and a top speed of 350 km/h,an amazing speed for 1992.The production limit for this car was 220 models,but were made 280.The car price was around $650,000.
