08/06 - Pagani Rally: 13 Zondas, a 599 and an SLR!!

[TT]

What to say..

:shock:

This year I was finally able to catch up with the Pagani rally and its third edition.

Bloody fucking hell! 13 Zondas (every model was there) and a Fiorano and SLR to complete the 15 cars lineup, a gigantic private hotel/museum/park, closed to public and virtually desert beside the owners, me and my camera. HEAVEN! Almost better than Villa d'este, and for sure, lot more exclusive as I was alone taking pics basically, apart from some ppl for Pagani (or the owners). Despite the rain, it was :good:

Needless to spent tons of words, just enjoy the pics, 123 of them!

Wow Matteo, those Zonda's ruined those other Zonda' photos :P J/K

My personal favorite says it all: Zonda's don't melt in the rain -->Even if it does look like flowing lava formed at that angle.

Nice job... and WOW @ the fact that there wasn't a crowed around the cars.. When I took the Enzo out... even in the middle of nowhere, people were stopping in asking what the car was, taking cell phone photos etc. :) Unfortunately, it will be a very long time before a Zonda reaches this side of the Atlantic :(

Thanks!

[TT]

Hehe, this place can't be accessed by ppl. there is a wall going round for miles and miles, with guarded gates everywhere ;) soon they'll be in Monte Carlo, and there, 1000 ppl will take similar pics. That's why I am so happy I was able to access this location!

[chest3r]

What to say..

And what can we say ?! :lol:

Really impressive!! :o :shock:

The full carbon one is awesome !! And I really love those yellow ones !

Too bad there wasn't a white one there ! :D

[MIHALS]

wow, what a great accasion to be on such a place with NO PPL :shock: :love:

I guess this has to be the best contest you visited this year and will visit!!!

thanx for the awesome pics Matteo! :D

[davide]

Thanks one more time for covering Matteo :D What a luck to see all these ZOndas in different colours and versions :good: Thanks again :wink:

[ferrari550]

Not much to say besides...holy shit.

thanks

[pterps]

Fantastic shoot Matteo, must have been great to see so many Pagani's!

[Alan]

Great reportage Matteo! :)

I would be glad to photograph the Zonda meeting, such as last year in Verona, but this year things are really different:

1) The meeting is located in Milano-Como-Montecarlo. The only stage I could photograph was yesterday in Milan, It means 200km far from my home. :(

2) The weather in this days is really horrible! :(

3) Yesterday and today I worked. I can't justify a day of work for a supercar meeting. Specially in this period when, luckily, work is really a lot!


So, I'll try to catch the 2008 Zonda Meeting.

Thanks for pictures!

Alan

:shock:

What the ?!$!#?!#$ Days like this actually exist?

[Smartdriver]

All awesome shots!! :clap:
Like Villa d'Este! 8)

TT hand and equipment + Zonda + great place = :drool:

[dutchmasterflex]

:shock:

What the ?!$!#?!#$ Days like this actually exist?

This is the stuff dreams are made of, I've still never even seen a single zonda in real life.




Yeah seriously.. This is just as good as owning one, maybe even better cause you don't have to worry bout the costs :lol:


Now that I caught my breath after the intial shock of opening this topic.... Absolutely great photos TT.. although it would of been pretty hard to screw this one up ;)

[silentm]

wow wtf 13 Zondas in one place? that sounds near iimpossible, but still ehre it is :shock: i'm awed the group photos are just stunning

[wasaabi92]

13 Zondas!!! :shocked!:

The colors!!! :crazyeyes:

The noises they all make!!!! :faint:

LOL, actually, for the rainy pics, the light was so bad that without an SLR camera, I doubt I could have come home with sharp pics!

BTW, not sure how many Zondas were built so far, but well, not even 100 so far I guess! This really put in perspective the fact of seeing 13 of them the same day! Most ppl indeed will never see one, especially outside Europe :(

[redbaron]

Anyway, the question is - how the hell did you get access to this event?!?! taking pics (awesome pics) of these beauties with not a single person around the cars is priceless!! :good:

I think TT is not the one that he makes us believe he is. I think he blew his cover with these pics. He must own one of these Zondas :D

[vakpemil]

SICK! :D :twisted: Amazing 'event' ... I would get a heartattack :shock:

[Alan]

Holy shit Matteo!! :shock: I had no idea about this!! to be honest I've never heard about the Zonda rally before... :oops: :wink:

[sentra_dude]

Holy fucking shit TT!!! I can only hope to see ONE Zonda, and you saw 13 at one time! That is craaazy! Awesome pictures, that must have been one unbelievable day! :D 8)

[sameerrao]

Awesome pics. I hope to see a Zonda in the flesh one day. Its a stunning car. 8)

[r2r]

WOW! :clap:

Even Horacio Pagani himself was there, very cool. 8)

[TT]

Yup, the carbon C12S was drive by him indeed

Holy shit Matteo!! :shock: I had no idea about this!! to be honest I've never heard about the Zonda rally before... :oops: :wink:

[mayer]

Great pictures TT. I thought I was spoiled in Southern California until I saw this. I've seen just about every supercar on the road but Zonda. Thanks for sharing and your pictures rock as usual.

[jorge]

Wow

i`m saving almost all of the pics

[franck bullitt]

Nice report :shock: 8) ... i love the black SLR with this rims :oops: (if had a MB's model, i'would put them on it 8) )

[TT]

The SLR ain't black. It's one of the "new" colors, a dark shade of grey actually

[MMC12]

:twisted: 0X FANTASTIC!!! Good updating! 8) :wink:

[twboy1999]

amazing,, good to be back at JW after 4 days of abbsense. lol

[stmoritzer]

That's why I never saw a Zonda on the road, they're all together :hmm::wink:

Speechless ... saving the pics to the HD

Great event, amazing occasion, well done Mateto!


edit: not to forget the black cars at the end
the SLR is worth a thread alone :drool:

[TopGearNL]

No words for the pics, they are absolutely mindblowing! :shock: :D

Love the pic with the 3 Zonda's lined up!

Great work TT!

[novass]

Amazing!!! Its really cool that not only did you get to see all those Zondas, but no one was around! Great pics!
