Pagani Zonda F Sets Nurburgring Lap Record

By George Skentzos | October 18th, 2007

The exotic Pagani Zonda F has broken the lap record for the famed Nurburgring in Germany previously held by the Porsche Carrera GT to become the fastest production car in the world to lap the famous track.

It achieved this remarkable feat by just two tenths of a second over the Carrera GT, but when racing on a knifes edge on the holy land, every nanosecond counts.

The final time it took for the Zonda F to cover the 20.6km track comprising of 73 turns was just 7:27:82.

To refresh your memory, the Zonda F weighs in at just 1,230kg thanks to the generous use of carbon fiber and is powered by a 7.3L V12 producing 443kW and 760Nm capable of 1.5G lateral acceleration.

I remember watching an episode of Top Gear and Hamster couldn’t believe how ungodly loud it was in the cabin. He couldn’t hear himself think and it was very uncomfortable to sit in over long distances.

Grumps, this is more track car than interstate cruiser, you’d probably never take it on any kind of enduro run. I agree with the sentiments on ugliness.
Going Ford, Is The Going Thing

On Top Gear, there was no room to put their suitcases in, so they tiped out the suitcase into a little box on the side of the car somewhere.

Really Me….I missed that eposode! Even a Porsche has a little space under the bonnet….no Andrew the motor didn’t go there in that pic you sent me of Jimmys car! Of course it was still in the boot! Funny Guy!

It was a test between a Ford GT, Ferrari(correct me if i’m wrong)F430 & Pagani Zonda in Parris.

Ugly? Now that’s a word I’ve never heard used to describe the Zonda. If I could have one supercar in the world, this’d be it.
