The Pagani Zonda is manufactured by Italian auto maker Pagani. These cars began production in 1999 and continue to this day. Owning one of these cars is as honor, simply because the auto maker only manufactures around seventeen or nineteen Zonda’s every year.
The Zonda is the only car that Pagani manufactures, which makes the vehicles even more of a gem. However, Pagani is in the process of building a new car that is supposedly going to replace the Zonda.
There are many different versions of the Zonda, including the Zonda Roadster, Zonda Cinque, Zonda F Club and so on. The difference between each version is usually the engine size and the amount of horsepower that the car can deliver. However, the overall design of the Zonda was inspired by jet fighters, this can be seen in the looks of the car. If you have never seen a Zonda, then picture the famous Batmobile that Batman used in many movies, then take this a step further, with four pipe exhaust, huge rear spoiler, and a wide front end like the Chevrolet Corvette. The car was rumored to have been influenced heavily by the look of jet fighters as well as leaning on the Sauber-Mercedes Silver Arrow Group C cars. The jet fighter aspect of the car is readily seen with the design of the car.
Engine wise the car varies with each year. At the beginning of the Zonda, the engine was a 6.0 liter engine. The car could do a quarter mile in 12.1 seconds, which is extremely fast. What makes these cars even faster 
is the material that they are made of, which is carbon fiber. This is one of those aspects that has carried forward to current generations. The 2000 Zonda utilized a 7.0 liter engine, while the 2002 Zonda used the largest V12 engine that has ever been made. Needless to say, power is a main concept of these cars, which is why so many sports car lovers drool over this car.
Price wise, these cars cost a pretty penny, which is to be expected given that there are a limited number of vehicles produced each year. The first version of the Zonda cost around $400,000 in US dollars. However, as they improved upon the car and engines became bigger, the price increased. Right now, the current Zonda would cost around $1.2 million US dollars. Hence, it is very uncommon to see these vehicles driving around on the roadways.
Pagani has really taken their time with the Zonda and produced a vehicle that most people dream of owning. The company takes the car and each year improve over the previous year. The Zonda car is commonly found at many high class auto shows, showing of the technology that the company has put into the vehicles. In fact, they are often awarded with various prestigious awards. Most recently, the Zonda received the best Italian Luxury Award by the Hurun Report. Overall, the Pagani Zonda is a one of a kind car that though many of us will dream of owning, it will remain a dream.
