Pagani Zonda F

[NarendZORCE]

Pagani has announced the most powerful version yet of their famous Zonda. The Zonda F, named in honour of race car driver Jaun Manuel Fangio. The new Pagani Zonda F uses the same 7.3 litre V12 AMG motor, with a power increase from 555 HP to 602 HP. The Zonda F will have a top speed of 345 km/h and covering the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.6 seconds.

"Juan Manuel Fangio was much more than a great champion. His accuracy, his uprightness, and his human and technical sensibility were among his qualities, typical of the old-time men, they have been for me, an example and an inspiration source."

"Very often, I ask myself how something so material, like a drawing or a technical choice, can express and convey the philosophy of such a men. The name of el coche, the way he used to call the car, should have been Fangio F1."

"He followed the project with a strong enthusiasm, according to his ideas the F1 had to be innovative, safe and had to be powered by a Mercedes-Benz engine. He then passed away and as a sign of respect I did not dare to call the car Fangio F1 and I decided to name it Zonda, el viento de los Andes."

"Today, after years spent in a rigorous search for perfection, the result is the Zonda F, a car that I wish to dedicate to Juan Manuel Fangio, the man who has made everything different."

- Horacio Pagani, founder of Pagani Automobili
