The Zonda C12 was the first vehicle produced by Pagani Atelier and was presented at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. The exotic coupe had a curved windshield and the interior was equally impressive, fashioned after a fighter jet
Pagani, eager to make the C12 a real supercar, asked AMG to supply several M120 V12 7.0 engines with more power. Tuned by Mercedes-AMG, the engine had 542 hp and was mated to a new 6-speed manual.
After successfully marketing the Zonda for three years, Pagani upgraded the Zonda to include a new 7.3-liter V12 (found in the 1995 SL 7.3 AMG). The Zonda also got traction control for the first time.
The Zonda F is lighter, more powerful and faster than its predecessor. It takes the modifications adapted to the C12-S Monza and refines them into a more appealing package.
The F Roadster combines the coupe's performance with open air driving and fine craftsmanship. Pagani says their cars have a soul and, when looking at the details, a Zonda is a sight to behold.
