Pagani C9 Zonda already in works
Feb 08, 2010 | Comments 11
The Pagani Zonda is a fantastically designed super car in recent production. This car has won accolades and has gained respect in the market. Pagani Zonda is the brain child of Horacio Pagani. He has more ambitious ideas and plans to introduce a new model which will enter production later this year. This new car edition is internally coded as the C9.
There are plans to offer this car in the global market unlike the earlier edition which was available only to a selected few segments. Auto enthusiast from the country can rejoice as there is a wide opportunity that this edition will now be available for sale in the local market.
Horacio Pagani has revealed a few details about the upcoming C9 edition to the Argentina AutoBlog. The Pagani head revealed that the upcoming C9 edition will be powered by a 6.0 liter V12 engine which is developed in collaboration with Mercedes Benz and AMG. This burly engine will generate an estimated 700 horsepower and 737 pounds feet of torque which is slightly lower than the Zonda R’s power of 750 horsepower. However this out put is sufficient enough to offer tough competition to other super car brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini.
The C9 would be a completely new car in terms of concept, dynamics, weight distribution, and materials used. It is estimated that this new edition would feature an approximate 3,770 new parts among which are specially developed Pirelli tires, carbon titanium chassis, and Bosch electronics.
The overall styling cues have been picked up from Zonda but the overall proportion will be smaller.
It is expected that this new Zonda edition will be introduced towards the end of the year and pricing is expected to start at an approximate $1.2 million.
Production of the prevailing Zonda edition and its various models will end this September and Pagani will then move into new production facility which will assist in increasing the production facility from the current 16 cars to 60 cars per year.

This is the first time I visited your blog and I actually like it. I bookmarked it too. I love sites about cars and I want to share one with you. It’s about private label detailing products.
Which is this company? I haven’t heard of it anywhere. Does this company makes only concept cars?
Is this a car or a space shuttle! What a mind blowing design! Even Ferrari or Lamborghini will be nothing in front of this design.
This car is INSANE! Competition is really going to be tough! What a sports car! I recon hunters are back!
As per the cost I would like to go for Ferrari or Lamborghini. The brand name means a lot to everyone.
A great car designed by Zonda. Each and every aspect of the car seems to be perfect. No comparison.
Bosch electronics, Pirelli tyres, titanium chasis! Plus the power same as Merc, Ferrari n Lamborghini! Is there any thing left?
This car has got killer body! Big brands like Porsche, Ferrari n Lamborghini don’t have much changes in their looks.
This car is really really awesome! The rear part of the car is unbelievably classy!
From front everyone will think it’s a Ferrari as the shape is almost similar but once they see the rear they will be in a different world!
Only 16 cars in the whole year? That is too less! Auto buffs will be very depressed not to have this car in their garage! Do increase till 100.
