Pagani Zonda F

Pagani Zonda F

History

With its production, Pagani Automobili has challenged the bigger car manufacturers like Lamborghini, Porsche and Ferrari. Horacio Pagani’s inspiration for the car was derived from F1 world champion Juan Miguel Fangio’s technical sensibilities that influenced the major aspects of the Zonda. Its production continues until today, with roughly 25 units manufactured each year. It is considered to be the super car that has received the most extensive engineering that Pagani has ever done. The Zonda F has also been tapped to have a powerful Clubsport model.

Built along side its regular production model, the Zonda F is a special edition super car which had several modifications adapted from the C12-S Monza and was refined to produce a more appealing super car package. The changes resulted into a more lightweight, faster and more powerful car, making the Zonda F one model that supersedes its predecessors.

Exterior

Aerodynamics has helped the Zonda gain its new shape. The car moves effortlessly through the air and some of its power keeps the car down into the tarmac thus producing a stronger ground effect. Traditional features such as the one-piece wing now receives undisturbed air courtesy of its relocated mirrors. The airflow underneath is relieved by the rear diffuser and the large front splitter that create more down force.

Performance

The Pagani Zonda F has more air intake in front, making its cooling system very effective. Thus, its V12 engine enjoys a much cooler state due to the car’s design. This Mercedes Benz engine holds a capacity of 7.3 liters and reaches 620 bhp and emits a 561 pound foot torque at 4000 rpm. The chassis of the Zonda F is upgraded to make it lighter compared to other super cars. The large ceramic brakes get more room as the new wheels measure only 19 and 20 inches. Overall, its weight is at 1,230 kilograms together with its titanium nuts and carbon fiber tub trimmings.

With all these improvements, Pagani has definitely produced a powerful Zonda. It is a reactive and very safe car without any rolls to speak of. The Nardi steering wheel gives a direct contact feel to the road. It has minimum electronics and the comfort is astonishing for a super car that reaches a speed of over 200 miles per hour. Pagani promised quality and performance in the Zonda F and delivers such without any compromise. With his constant quality check of the Zonda F’s individual pieces, the manual for each of the super cars is presented in a very detailed and faithful manner, like that of an artist’s portrait.

Maserati Mc12

Maserati Mc12, a road car after the Maserati company produced the FIA GT Championship racing variant can not call it self anything else then a super car. The specialists say that it`s not more than a copy of Enzo Ferrari but taller, longer and wider.

Designed by famous car producers like Giorgetto Giugiaro and Frank Stephenson., the idea for this super car was born even from the time that Ferrari owned Maserati company. They wanted a race car that could match the standards to compete in FIA GT.

With a first name like MCC (Maserati Corse Competizione), the car couldn’t be anything else but a race car.

With a design of the V12 engine that allows equally the distribution of weight, the two door coupe has a luxurious interior made of a mix of gel dressed up in carbon fiber, another very expensive silver material named Brightex, and also the blue leather that gives the wonder car a special look.maserati-mc12.jpg

The exterior it isn’t going to look down to the interior. The body made of carbon fiber it’s design to help the car achieve the maximum down force in all kinds of roads. Longer and wider then a Hummer, Maserati Mc12 comes only in two colours: white and blue, being dedicated to the America Camoradi racing team of the 1960s.

The V12 Ferrari engine has 232 kilogram, 6 litre (5998 cc) that makes the car touch a maximum torque of 652 Nm (481 lbf-ft) at 5500 rpm and a maximum power of 463 kw (621 bhp) at 7500 rpm. This super car can reach 100 km/h in just 3.8s and 200 km/h in 9.9s and has a maximum speed of 330 km/h.

Even if some people can say that it has a couple of disability like no radio or sound system and it can be a little harder to park because of it’s large size, the comfortability and the luxury of the interior combine with the look and the feeling of the car speeding on any kinds of roads can really deserve the high price of 600.000 euro.
