Pagani Zonda Nero (2003)

Debuted in 1999, the Pagani Zonda C12 stormed the supercar world. Born from the tireless ambition of ex-Lamborghini composites engineer Horacio Pagani, the Zonda was created to realise the ultimate, authentic driving experience. Inspired by fighter jets and 1990s prototype race cars alike, the cockpit was inset from the width of the car and visually further forward than many of its counterparts at the time. The C12 took its name from Horacio’s wife Christina ‘C’, and the 12 for the twelve cylinders of its AMG-sourced powerplant.

Pagani as a brand has become synonymous with personalisation. With factory support and sign off, cars have been able to return to the factory to enable each custodian to upgrade their car with an almost tick-box like approach, to include any number of options that have been developed since, similar to what McLaren facilitated with the F1 after production was completed. As a result, many examples are no longer in their originally supplied configuration. This example returned to the factory and as such, receieved a wealth of desirable options over and above its original specification.
