Pagani, the flamboyant Italian supercar brand has launched it’s fastest vehicle ever, The Pagani Zonda R.

The new car has taken 3 years to complete and comes as a result of a customer asking Pagani to make ‘the ultimate track car’.

As a track vehicle, the Zonda R’s design has not been held back by any road legal requirements, meaning the full talent of the designers has been unleashed.

The Zonda R’s body and chassis are constructed from aluminum, titanium, magnesium and carbon fibre.

The new vehicle shares only 10 per cent of its parts with the Zonda F meaning that the car has been completely redesigned from the bottom up.

Pagani says that the Zonda R is capable of reaching 62MPH in just 3 seconds and has a top speed of 233MPH.

The price of the new machine is a staggering £1.24m plus tax which means that it costs 3 times that of the Zonda F. Only 16 will be made and 13 have already been sold.
