Video: Track-only Zonda R on public roads

By George Skentzos |

Updated: Another higher-quality video has been found, take the jump for a better look.

Despite being created as a track-only homage to the first generation of Zonda hypercars, one example of the exquisite Zonda R has been filmed on public roads in Modena near Pagani headquarters.

The sound from the highly-tuned AMG-sourced 6.0-litre V12 engine is simply epic, it really is a shame this will likely be the first and last time one will ever see the light of day on a public road.

  • “james”

    for some reason this video reminded me of these pictures lol

    and then i got the strange question pass through my head… “what would you prefer?”

    …..and i honestly could not answer it! Is this an indictment on Megan, the Zonda, or a complement for both?

    maybe the moral to my story is: Perfection is sometimes painfully unatainable, and ruins the reality for most mere mortals such as us…

    here is a poem i made up just for the occasion lol
    “do not wish to have what you cannot hold, for you may spend a lifetime chasing a dream that will never be fortold”

    If I was eligible to enter the win a supercar drive competition my entry would probably read: “Hoons in Europe: Zonda R, hoons in Australia: Holden Commodore, need I say more?”

    That thing must be so highly strung. Sounds better than a Carrera GT. Lets see more of this engine, MB!

    Cool! I’m sure a lot of people were interested and admiring Zonda. It’s not everyday you get the chance to see it live haha I’d love to be in that place at that exact time haha

  • Yanzo

    lmao at all the thumbs downs

  • QwkEddie

    Love the sound of that engine!
    It certainly beats the sound of the bogan V8s I hear around my neighbourhood.
    If that short exhibition happened in Australia,more so in Victoria,the driver would likely receive the death penalty!

    I WANT MORE…

    It is truly amazing that the pagani is the only supercar besides the koenigsegg that can be bought and road registered on australin roads, why not the enzo i have no idea.
