Default Jan 20th - Pagani Zonda F indepth!!

Here it is, the photoshoot you'd kill for, the car which will be almost impossible to top, a hell of a ride and some nice memories!

Sadly the shoot itself involved a single location (beside the dealership's pics) and VERY limited time, but well, could I really argue????

Thanks to a friend I managed to hitch a ride in one of the most exclusive cars there are, and to top it all, it's an F, it has the bare carbon fiber option, the power kit and the full titan exhaust, developping 650+ hp backed up by a soundtrack able to bring corpses back to life I bet!

The ride was just crazy, totally mind blowing, definitely much more impressive than the Enzo. The glass surfaces, the mad soundtrack (LOT louder than stock Enzo), the impossible shove it produces.
The Enzo already gives you this warp sensation when 2nd gear is engaged and the pedal floored, but here the whole thing is even more extreme and when the car jumps forward, while your ears are exploding, you are pressed into the seats with unbelievable force, your vision starts to blur. For sure the closest thing to a fighter jet G acceleration I ever experienced. So crazy, so strong you can't even start to worry about your life! Your brain is so squeezed inside your head that the only reaction it can produce is a "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

enjoy the pics! I would have liked some sun but in the end the cloudy sky is kinda cool!

Awesome pics ... The exposed CF is sexy.

I am glad you took an interior pic for a change

I was enjoying your description of your ride: "So crazy, so strong you can't even start to worry about your life! Your brain is so squeezed inside your head that the only reaction it can produce is a "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Hopefully I will get to see a Zonda someday. It is extremely rare here in the US

Well, a friend who knows the dealer/import introduced me to them. I then just asked one day I was there to took pics in the dealership
