Another reason for the supercar enthusiasts to rejoice as Italian automaker Pagani announces the Pagani Zonda R at 2007 Geneva Auto Show. This track-specific version was designed with one goal in mind: the ultimate performance at the racetrack without any implications of rules, except for safety. The maker is expecting this new coupe to compete with the Ferrari FXX. Born with full liberty, this mission began at the request of an Italo-American customer, enthusiast and proud owner of three Zondas. Designed from scratch, with only 10 percent of Zonda F components being carried over, it features a 750 horsepower from Mercedes' AMG division, derived from the CLK GTR race car.

The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length by 394 mm and the track is increased by 50mm. The bodywork and aerodynamics have been modified to offer maximum downforce. The Pagani Zonda R's standard equipment includes a high-end HiFi and air-conditioning as well. How many Zonda Rs will hit the tracks is yet unknown, but we at least know that you will need to part with $1.5 million for this R version.
