Car Culture At Large

The first time I ever saw the Pagani Zonda R in person was a quick glance last year at the SEMA show. Today though, I got to spend a quite a while taking in its ridiculous lines and details, as the car was oh-so carefully rolled into the NFS booth at the E3 show in LA.

I have to say that watching the crew trying to roll the car onto its stand was just as intense as a Formula D final match, or the last few laps at LeMans. The two million dollar hypercar is now sitting safe and sound, ready to be centerpiece of the booth as people come check out the just-announced NFS Hot Pursuit game this week.

For more on these brilliant cars, be sure to check out the stories from Rod and Dino’s trip to the Pagani factory last year.

Here’s some eye candy that I happen to really love at the moment. Horacio Pagani can do no wrong. He is an automotive god. See the high res version at The Real JDM

Want to know how the Pagani Zonda R sounds when it is going full throttle on the streets outside the Pagani headquarters? Then I suggest you press play and turn up the volume. I must add that this is illegal because the Zonda R isn’t street legal but I guess that Horacia has a special understanding with the local authorities.

This might not exactly be news, but this thing looks amazing. A ton more pics after the jump, and if you want new wallpaper, head over to World Car Fans.

If you see someone driving the new Pagani Zonda R on city roads report them immediately—this is in fact a rocket ship for the racetrack only. Pagani says the new Zonda R demolished the Ring in 7:27:82, with lateral G forces of almost 1.5 G. Pagani is only building 25 of these supercars, and they’re all spoken for.

Still my favorite exotic car in the world. Enjoy the pics from a Zonda meet, presumably in Italy. The picture below is always a favorite, a full unpainted (just clearcoat) carbon Zonda. With carbon work as good as that, why bother painting it (although the orange one after the jump is really nice, too).

I didn’t even know that I’d always wanted this until I found out that it could exist. The Man, Horacio Pagani, just discovered a way to mate my two favorite materials into one mega super crazy material. Carbon-Titanium is the new dream… too bad there’s no pics of it yet. Pagani invented this composite for his latest mega limited edition Zonda–the Cinque.

From the Pagani press release:

It will be the first Zonda to use the new Pagani invention, the carbon-titanium, a special fiber purposely created for the Zonda Cinque, which will be eventually used on the new generation models. This monster has 678 hp, 780 Nm torque, forged monolock titanium wheels, bolts and nuts will fully be done in titanium and boast the Pagani logo.

Sometimes people ask me what my favorite car is. Its never an easy question to answer when I have so many cars that I love of so many different styles. Yet if I had to choose one favorite it would be the Pagani Zonda F.

I’m a man that loves details and craftsmanship. The Zonda F are those two words encapsulated in a supercar (plus they offer an option where you can get the car finished fully in unpainted dry carbon – always worth bonus points in my book). Continue reading…

Over fifty folks tried out the Supercar Finder. I just did a quick tally and almost half of you ended up with the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Not bad. The Pagani Zonda F was the next most popular selection. All the other cars came in a distant third. I noticed that just about everyone seemed fairly pleased with the cars they were given.

Noticing a 2008 Bugatti Veyron in the number-one spot on CarDomain’s Top Rides last night, I kind knew what I was in for. And yep, here it comes: Dayyan’s profile hosts a collection of rare and superexpensive exotics that could put even Jay Leno’s stable to shame. It seems we have a reclusive child billionaire hiding out up in Brampton, Ontario, effortlessly hoarding the most sought-after supercars. But wait: as is usually the case with (to put it kindly) "dreamers," there’s no solid individual details on any of the vehicles, no stories of their acquisition, no photographs of the member interacting with them, no nothing. Often, the make and model is the only text on the whole page, and the pics are generic shots that could’ve come from anywhere. And yeah, we realize that the wealthy aren’t always smartest folks, but someone who can afford three Murcielagos and a handmade Pagani Zonda is likely to be able to write something a tad more literate about his second Veyron than, "This is not mines,this belongs to my cuzin."  Still, we at CarDomain understand that no one can excel in every area, so we’re willing to give Dayyan the benefit of the doubt. Hey kiddo, if you can post a pic of yourself with each of your cars on your ride pages by the end of the week, our admins won’t have to delete you.
