The exotic coupe had a curved windshield and the interior was equally impressive, fashioned after a fighter jet.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Leveraging his experience at Lamborghini, Pagani used carbon fiber extensively in the first Pagani, an especially impressive decision given how unique and original the design Zonda C12 was. &#8220;The shape had to be sensual, the wheel arches should recall a woman\u2019s bosoms, the rear bonnet the hips,&#8221; CEO Horacio Pagani notes. &#8220;Inside, the seats would be shaped like an inverted pyramid to wrap around the shoulders, giving a sense of power to the man, and protection to the woman. A complicated search of simple ideas. In a word: the Zonda.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p>At launch, the Mercedes-source 6.0-liter V12 produced 394 (293 kW) and 420 pound-feet (570 Newton-meters). That&#8217;s a far cry from the 800-hp Pagani on offer today. But with a five-speed manual transmission, and thanks in part to a lightweight design (tipping the scales at 2,755 pounds), the C12 could hit 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in a segment-rivaling 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of around 185 mph (297 kmh).<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a
