The Pagani Zonda F: Trick or Treat?
Pounds or about $750,000. And the good news? It will flat out run with just
about anything on the road or track!
By the numbers, the Zonda F is a V12 641 hp mid-engined rear-wheel drive
that weights about 2,700 lbs. and does 0-60 in a claimed (likely faster) 3.5
seconds and a claimed (likely faster) 214 mph.
The Zonda F is constructed of carbon fiber and it looks like pure functional
automotive art. Think of it as a road legal and every day drivable track car.
By comparison, the Porsche 996 GT3, which is an icon, was stated to feel
a bit "muffed." When an upper level Porsche feels a bit muffed what it is
being compared to is indeed tremendous!
Regarding the Zonda F, the testers from EVO - The Thrill of Driving
Magazine said, "And so with a drum roll provided by art director Paul Lang
via the medium of his hands and the plastic rear windows of the Megane,
it is an honor to announce the winner as... the Pagani Zonda F. Here's
how the praise stacks up. 'A car that can comfortably live up to all the
hype,' says Metcalfe. 'A supercar you really can drive as if it was an Elise,
yet which gives you the full-scale Panavision, HD, Technicolor supercar
experience. A car that melt he heart of the coolest, most stubborn supercar
critic...' says Barker, before handing over to that very critic in the form
of Simister, who admits that 'it appears to weigh nothing, it's both visceral
and forgiving and you feel in total control'. 'Overwhelming, shattering,
utterly addictive,' concludes Vivian.
The Pagani Zonda F was compared to a field of 99 other cars to determine
the best drivers' car. Some of the other cars in the test included: the BMW
M5, the Bugatti EB 110, the Porsche 959, the McLaren F1, the Lamborghini
Diablo 6.0 VT, the Ferrari Enzo, the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Mercedes
CLK63 Black, the Aston Vantage V12, the Lotus Evors, the Ferrari 288 GTO,
the Ferrari 550 Maranello, the Ford GT, the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, and the
Ferrari F40.
The Pagani Zonda F - putting it all together! No tricks here, just a real treat
indeed!
