Pictures of my new 2005 Zonda...
...my next car when Nortel will go up again!! 
(from Pagani Press Release) 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
*New Club Sport version available. Horsepower increased to 650hp and torque to 575 lbft.

Engine: Mercedes-Benz AMG 12 cylinder V 60

Looking good. I've always had an affinity for the Zonda, and it's nice to see they respect the memory of a great racing driver. 650hp is nothing to sneeze at.

Look at those decals, obtrusive use of carbon fiber, hideous bling wheels, ugh. It looks like a rice rodder designed and built the thing. The ONLY thing likeable about the Zonda is the "monkey with four asses" tailpipe. That's cool.
