Pagani Zonda "La Nonna". A One Million Kilometer Long Story

As many of you already know it's one year that I work with Lovecars, the first automotive social hub, and for this reason I am a little less active on Prototype 0. A few days ago I visited the Pagani factory and I met a very special car. I want to repost here the article I wrote yesterday on Lovecars. Enjoy!

We are pleased to be the first to share this beauty, and after a bad period where we lost two Zonda, is good to see new models taking life. This brand new Zonda is named ZoZo, it isn't an already existing Zonda upgraded as most of you asked me via email.

Prototype 0 Reveals the New Pagani Zonda 760 JC

After a sad week where we lost two beautiful Zonda, we start a new week by revealing a new birth. A new crazy Zonda 1 of 1 has been revealed. It's name is Zonda JC, which are owner's initials. This is not an old Zonda upgraded but a brand new carbontitanium chassis and of course it's a 760 based car even if the real power hasn't been declared yet.

Pagani Huayra Production Sold Out

According to a recent report, all the Pagani Huayra have been sold out. The first edition of the Pagani Huayra was limited to just 100 units as part of the agreement with AMG which supplies the car's twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine that develops 730 HP. Of course all the cars are not yet produced, we were talking only about orders, and it will take a bit of time until all the units will have been produced. It's also rumored that the next Huayra version will not be unveiled during the upcoming Geneva Motor Show and as a consequence the Roadster variant will delay until 2017.

Pagani Zonda F Destroyed in Dubai

The well known Zonda F chassis N°69 suffered damage in an accident during the past weekend in Dubai.

First Pagani Zonda 760 Roadster Unveiled

This is the very first Zonda 760 Roadster. This car is not an old Zonda upgraded, this car is built on a brand new carbon titanium chassis. It is one of the latest Zonda of the production. We already talked about this car in October when it was spotted at the factory during the tests.

Pagani Huayra 730S Revealed

This is the second one-off Pagani Huayra to be built after the famous Huayra “La Monza Lisa”. The first infos about this car started come out in September when the Mexican supercar collector by the name of @salomondrin on Instagram, announced he had ordered a custom 1 of 1 Pagani Huayra dubbed the 730S Edition. Then, no news until yesterday when the owner posted on his Instagram profile the official renders of the car.

Pagani Unveils the Pagani Huayra Dinastia Edition during the 2014 Macau Auto Show

During the Macau Auto Show which took place on 7th November 2014, Pagani China Automotive Limited (PCAL) showcased the new Pagani Huayra Dinastia edition to the public. This special Huayra will be produced to celebrate the launch of PCAL operations in Hong Kong for China and Macau. This limited edition is a symbolic signature of a great emperor. The imperial power in dynasties is represented by dragons that are the major spiritual significance in the Chinese culture.

During the previous visit in China, Mr. Horacio Pagani went to Beijing and when he entered the Forbidden City for the first time, looking at the Nine Dragons Wall, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the dragons body shape, the floating in the sky reminding him of the wind.

On his return back to Italy he sat down in his office and realized that some work was still unfinished. After picking up his pen Horacio started drawing some sketches on a paper. Instantly he integrated the shape of the dancing dragon along the two sides of the Huayra body.

Thanks to his interest in the Chinese culture, Mr. Pagani then decided to create 3 units out of 100 Huayra limited edition to celebrate the establishment of Pagani China Automotive Limited in Asia. Why only 3 limited edition? In China, the way how number 3 is pronounced in Chinese language, sounds like the character sheng, which is the meaning of “life, new birth”.

For these three units Mr. Pagani has chosen three distinct colors and applied them on these carbon body works.

Pagani Zonda X Delivered to Hong Kong

The well known Zonda 760 X has been just delivered. Thanks to these new pictures we can notice that the car on its fin features the 760RSJX name, the name comes from owner's initials like the most part of Pagani special editions.

North America Confirmed as the Largest Pagani Market

Pagani Automobile has confirmed that North America is the Largest market, during this year the 40% of the Huayra produced have been delivered to USA. 

Prototype 0 Presents The First Pagani Zonda 760 Roadster

This is the very first Zonda 760 Roadster, I saw the frame under construction during a visit inside the factory the day of the Vanishing Point start in June 2014. Thanks to the latest pictures on Instagram the car seems to have been completed in last month. 

Five Pagani at the Lovecars Supercar Run to Salon Privé

Few weeks ago our friends at LoveCars organized a meeting between supercars owners and a run to Salon Privé. At this gathering took part 5 Pagani, 4 Zondas and Huayra driven by Horacio Pagani himself, which was their guest of honor. 

Prototype 0 Presents The New Zonda 760 Delivered In Dubai

This is the third Zonda of the 760 series. The production of this car started around November 2013, I remember I spotted some parts of the car and the chassis inside the factory during a visit.

The car doesn't feature any special name which refers to owner's initials or something else, simply Zonda 760.

This Zonda is quite similar to the 760RS but with some little differences. It is characterized by a fully visible carbon fiber body, with a bordeaux stripe along the center of the car. 

Prototype 0 Reveals the Zonda 760 X

If you were sad because you think that the Zonda production finished don't worry. The Pagani Automobili is still building special Zondas for their customers. Probably you will see new cars also in the coming year. This time, Pagani produced a very particular car. Its name is Zonda X and it is a very close sister of the well known Zonda UNO. Even if the "760" logo is not present on the car I'm quite sure it features the same specs of the Zonda 760LM.

Pagani Zonda 760 LM Delivered

The much-discussed Zonda LM view during the past few days has been delivered. The car has been spotted in Principality of Andorra where it was registered, probably because of emission regulations in Europe, in fact, since 2010 it is no longer possible to register cars Euro 3 like the Zonda. This is not like the other special editions which in practice are different by the name and the body paint. This Zonda, inspired by Le Mans prototypes, is characterized by a very different look compared with the other Zondas.

Prototype 0 Reveals the Pagani Zonda 760 LM

Eventually I decided to write an article about the mysterious Zonda which was spotted several times during the last month around the Pagani factories.

I could say that I saw this Zonda be born, the first time was in November last year during our official factory visit, when it was still just a frame, the second time was in April, the car was about 60% of the development ; and the last time last week in the company, this time completely finished.

Prototype 0: Five New Huayra Ready to be Delivered
