Manufacturer Press Release
|
While we certainly cannot say the Zonda F lacks performance figures, driving
around the Nürburgring in 7:32 and achieving lateral G forces of almost 1.5
G, it is however a road car, easy to drive, intuitive and setting the
benchmark for comfort, safety and lightweight. Paired with a quality finish
and the attention to detail this made the Zonda F one of the most desirable
supercars resulting in the 25 Coupé models being sold out in record time.
This did not seem to fulfil the requirements of our most demanding
customers, who adore the weekend drive on a racetrack.
The spark has been set by an Italo-American customer, enthusiast and already
proud owner of 3 Zondas. He describes the project this way: 'The thought has
been on my mind for quite some time, but I am not interested in racing'.
The Zonda R is born with full liberty. The target: the ultimate performance
at the racetrack without any implications of rules, except for safety, where
no compromise is allowed.
In September 2006 the first drawings were ready, but it was crucial to have
the support of Mercedes-AMG for a high revving engine with a power output of
750hp, dry sump, light and with a low centre of gravity. The basis was the
self supporting engine of the mighty CLK GTR, which has dominated the GT
championships. Eve at constant racing pace the engine would have to cover
over 5.000 km before servicing.
The challenge has been accepted without hesitation.
The Zonda R is a car designed from scratch, with only 10% of the Zonda F
components to be carried over. The suspension forged in Avional, a new
Pagani six speed transversal sequential gearbox, carbon fibre monocoque,
aeronautical four pump fuel tank are only part of the equation.
The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length by 394 mm and the track
is increased by 50mm. The bodywork and aerodynamics have been studied to
offer maximum downforce. Even though built for the track, the project would
not have received kick off, if the quality and finish of the car and its
details was not up to the level of the Pagani road cars.
One of the first cars to be delivered however will be kept in a living room,
designed by Pagani and built with the same materials as the Zonda F,
beautifully textured carbon fibre, avional, titanium, inconel and other
state of the art materials. Additionally it will feature a bespoke HiFi
System that will allow the customer to listen to the sound of this car at Le
Mans and the Nürburgring.
The Pagani customers who have ordered the Zonda R will be relieved of almost
1.2 million + taxes.
This Zonda is purpose made for track use, without restrictions of any
competition rules or homologation, with the only exclusion of the
passengers' integrity, where no compromise is tolerated according to our
philosophy and state-of-the-art safety measures are featured.
A new heart
The engine is built by the racing specialists at Mercedes AMG, where the
championship winning DTM cars are born, as well as the CLK GTR, probably the
most devastating and effective weapon ever to compete in the GT series. From
it's engine the Zonda R borrows the basic architecture including an
ingenious dry sump allowing a low centre of gravity. This self-supporting
engine with 750 hp at 8000 rpm and 710 Nm of torque carries a lightweight
carbon fibre highperformance intake system, a racing multiple disc sintered
clutch and Formula 1 style exhaust system, hydroformed in Inconel 625 and
ceramic coated for optimal heat dissipation. The power unit combined with a
6 speed transversal manual sequential synchronised gearbox is designed to
satisfy the most ambitious drivers.
The chassis
The central carbon chassis will incorporate a roll cage and a rubber racing
fuel tank with 4 fuel pumps and quick refuel filler like on GT race cars.
The wheelbase has been increased by 47mm to offer the best stability. The
front and rear subframes are brand-new, built to accommodate a new
suspension geometry, produced in avional. The magnesium forged rims with
central wheel nut and a quick pneumatic lifting system allows fast and
effortless changes of the slick tyres.
Bodywork and aerodynamics
The new bodywork has been honed to offer elevated downforce even in low
speed corners. The longer front bonnet with flaps, closed underbody and the
rear overhang with the adjustable rear wing and race derived diffusor
translate into shattering aerodynamic efficiency and will let you experience
cornering speeds beyond imagination.
The car displays and logs information about the amount of dowforce that the
car is generating at each moment. Combined with the adjustable wings you can
easily find the best setup for each track.
Workstation
The interior is designed to accommodate the driver and passenger in bespoke
seats, built to offer the best support, when the G-forces from the vehicle
dynamics come into question. The Digitek instrumentation provides the
essential information and a sophisticated telemetry allows through a variety
of sensors to monitor every single component of the car.
