For a while there was the possibility that the Zonda R would not be built, however after much deliberations and probably the fact that the company has been given six deposits for six of the ten cars to be built, it did not take much thinking about.

The price of the car is going to be just 1.2 million euros and production is going to be limited to only ten cars. But do the math that not a bad turnover and the first car is due to be delivered in march 2008 and will be powered by a 7.3 liter V12 engine, that will deliver around 750 bhp.

It must be a sign of the times that a car that has such a high cost attached it is in such a great demand that the company could not possibly fulfill this demand, all those millions of euros hanging around just waiting to spent, it is such a hard life.

Pagani will be replacing the Zonda R in 2009 with the low profile name of C9 (Sounds like a Citroen!) although even with this model of the cars certified for sale, over 50% will become available for the first time in the US and Japan.
