Zonda R, not just a general Zonda

 Hello, Petrolhead. Good to be back on writing this article. Thanks to God who gives me chance so i can be still alive until now and wrote this article about an amazing car, the Zonda R from italian supercar manufaturer, Pagani.

 Know Zonda? There are so many Zonda spread around the world, and also with many variants. Zonda as the mid-engined supercar was debuted in 1999 and the production stopped at 2011. Sorry to say, it was a pity to stop the production of a beast.

Zonda R. Only 15 units were available in the world

 Not taking much time, let's go to the main topic. Although Zonda had many variants like Pagani Zonda Cinque, Zonda C12 as the first Zonda born into the world, or the special edition the Zonda Monza, i will only discuss about the Zonda R, if i discuss all of them (the Zondas), i will not have enough time, because the Zonda R itself has a long explanation.

Look at its handsome face


 Designed by Horacio Pagani, the Zonda R was debuted in 2007 at Geneva Motor Show. It has 6.0 litre of M120 V12 engine,the same engine as the Mercedes CLK GTR. Sharing only 10% of Zonda F's components at maximum, it has a very light carbon fibre body.
Only 15 Zonda Rs were produced in the entire world.

Zonda R, looks like stormtrooper

 Although this car looks like the stormtrooper in the Star Wars films, the function will make you astonished. The bodywork and aerodinamics have been counted by the architect of the Zonda R, to increase its down force at maximum, and also keeping the car to turn at the corner at high speed.

Let's get into action!

 Zonda R has 740 HP of power (750 PS) at 7500 rpm and 710 nm of torque. This high output AMG(Mercedes) engine was combined by a 6 speed longitudinally mounted manual sequential synchronized gearbox, make it possible to reach a top speed of 218 mph (350.8 km/h), an acceleration from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than 2.7 seconds, and corners at 1.62 G.

Finished the Nürburgring circuit in just 6 minutes and 47 seconds

 On 2010, June 30th, Zonda R made a
record and completing the international Nürburgring circuit in 6:47, beating the Ferrari 599XX.

 Thanks for reading.
