Oh Jamie, how can you apologize for being overexcited. You have driven some of the best cars in the world and seeing what this one does to you simply sums it up. Its a masterpiece, a toy that makes a man weep tears of joy. Godlike
I've never seen that guy excited about any car let alone get out of one laughing and thanking the guys that let him drive it. That car must be absolutely out of this world. Sounds and looks amazing!
Ferrari has the best marketing, not the best cars! A friend of mine is the chief-mechanic at Foitek and he knows what he is talking about. This Zonda is absolutely stunning and it is absolutely beside the point if it's a Merc-engine or not. The whole package is sensational.
In some Asian countries (except Japan or South Korea maybe), this car is road legal as long as it has brake lamp, turn lamps, headlight, side mirror, etc. There is one Zonda R that is road legal in Taiwan
It almost sounds like a Mazda Furai, its so high pitched. Its pretty amazing when you consider that the original 7.3 litre V12 was the deepest, most bassy engine in existence.
That is the most insane sounding car, in fact, i think it sounds better than an F1 car which just scream, this car has huge character to its exhaust note
@MrBingping Most tracks have a noise regulation, and being a zonda r there's very few places where you can actually take this beast too. So its just much easier for them to take it to an airport.
gr8 vid always pagnai been my dream car...... just one thing....dose race cars such as zonda R or any other car like aston DBR9 and Corvette C6 got and ABS and ESP???
@JuanBluesMan The Pagani Zonda is a mid-engined sports car produced by Pagani in Italy. It debuted in 1999, and production ended in 2011. As of June 2009, 206 Zondas had been built, including test mules. Both 2-seat coupe and convertible versions have been produced. Construction is mainly of carbon fiber. Some of the early Zonda engineering was done by Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio ( this is from Wikipedia)
For all you people saying things like " da boogatti is only gud Ina strait line" and that it's useless in corners. Tell me at which point in the veyrons development stage the engineers said " we want this to be the ultimate track car that can pull over 2G of cornering force. The Behring and the zonda r were built to serve completely different purposes. The veyron was designed to deliver speed and power far greater than any ROAD car, with the comfort of a Bentley continental/ reliability and serviceability of a golf and the fuel efficiency of a burning oil refinery. Lol jk jk. Whereas the zonda r was designed as a pure blood racer but without having to meet any racing requirements which meant that they could design it however they wanted. Now since people want to argue that the zonda r is better than the Veyron because the veyron isn't as competent around the corners, try taking a zonda r on public roads and see if it compares with the veyron in terms of refinement and comfort. Oh wait you can't because it isn't road legal. Given the choice (and money) I would still buy an r. The guy who gave me the money can go and buy a veyron for himself, or even 5. I'll leave him to be burdened with the mountain of insurance and maintenance costs
i would never buy a 2 million dollar car for comfort, i would just buy a bentley or a mercedes or a rolls royce. supercars are made and bought to be driven fast wether thats illegal or not, who gives a shit. the zonda r is way better than any veyron. equal acceleration, far superior braking, power to weight ratio and cornering ability. its a true hypercar not like the veyron which is simply a bentley on drugs.the veyron is 4000+ pounds of bullshit
Most sick and awesome production car ever created by mankind. German engineering + Italian (Argentinian) design makes the best care in the world and then i'm not even talking about the sound it produces
i dont think pagani are the same wiyh ferrari, lamborghini and the rest of the world supercar manufacturers, i think pagani is the leader. no manufacturers can make a supercars that blend brutal power, light weight, craftsmanship, incredible handling, great interior and exterior design, and true supercar spirit..... god job pagani....
I just love these raw, unbridled machines. In a world where cars are turning more and more into living rooms on wheels, it's nice to still have companies making stuff that gives you that visceral driving experience. Too bad you haven't to pay out the ass to get it; short of picking up a Spec or Club Racer of some sort.
my eardrums just shattered. but it was worth it, and I've still got my eyes, so I'm still happy haha. Amazing car. I wish they had more of an opportunity to test it on a track, where its true potential lies.
@esumpe You're totally right to say that Pagani is in a different league than Ferrari.Pagani is at least one league below them. Ferrari is a perennial F1 power player. They build virtually every component of their cars, most importantly their engines (Pagani uses Mercedes engines). 458 Italia engine = 124hp per liter. Pagani is amazing and I love the Zonda, but they are still at this point a company that has built one car, followed by slightly upgraded versions. Lets see what the future holds.
honestly dude your completely right because from what ive seen & heard the veyron's are not to found of sudden direction change and most people who own rarely or have never taken the car anywhere close to its limits while the zonda is not that intimidating of a car to drive even though it is ungodly fast when driven right
@Inf3rnalBlade High Octane is right, actually. There are modified Civic drag-cars pumping out 1000 and more horsepower. They are hardly street legal, though.
@alaskafender The Veyron Super Sport features 1200HP, a top speed of 415km/h (as opposed to the 350 of the Zonda R) and 2.5 for 0-62mph (as opposed to the 2.7s by the Zonda R) so i really don't understand what you mean by accelerates faster ? And if i had the official deccelerate specs by both companies i really doubt the Zonda R would be much better, if at all.
@NekoOfficial I hear what you are saying haha, but racetracks dont come very cheap to buy i guess, unless you fitted numberplates & indicators and hoped no one notices its not road legal
@evofreak1304 Is this version street legal? The Bugatti is made to have a luxurious interior and not be loud at all. This is made to be fast and thats all.
You know the old saying "In space no one can hear you scream"?
Well.... in the Zonda R, you can't hear yourself scream!
What a brilliant car.
Haha great joke :D
And yes it's a brilliant car,perhaps maybe the best car in the world :P
Only a brit would apologize, for getting excited about driving a 700 BHP+ 1.5 million pound car.
It's just like Jeremy Clarkson said, it just keeps going! What a truly insane car...
That thing is dangerously loud! And also to mention, it's iconic speed! What a staggering machine!
Favorite car in the world
It's the world's best legendary supercar. It's not just a it's the supercar
3:52 Dont apologize, Some of us totally understand...
Still an absolute dream car.
100%
Im building my dream V12 supercar with the OG zonda engine 😎
Oh Jamie, how can you apologize for being overexcited. You have driven some of the best cars in the world and seeing what this one does to you simply sums it up. Its a masterpiece, a toy that makes a man weep tears of joy. Godlike
If you revved this car in a packed car park the alarms would go berzerk
Still wouldn't hear any of 'em over the scream of the V12
Love the sound of that merc V12 (thumbs up)
What a sound !!! And I like the moment when Jamie's getting excited, like a child with a new toy !
4:02...lol He was actually screaming in silence
the most amazing sound ive ever heard
2:49 HOLY $H!T that's like the best onboard engine sound I've ever heard
I've never seen that guy excited about any car let alone get out of one laughing and thanking the guys that let him drive it. That car must be absolutely out of this world. Sounds and looks amazing!
awesome!!!
I think the description shows how good the Zonda R is! "No description available"
its so good he can't explain it!
This video is timeless
Engine
Sounds
F*cking
Amazing!!!
Wow, 6:47 at the nurburgring is VERY fast. And the sound is just awsome. You have a great job, something like this is a dream to me!
no apology needed! that was freaking awesome...
4:05 - 4:29 beautiful simple sequence of the car moving about. top gear tends to make them a bit too stylized, but great as such
Great video! Zonda sounds are amazing
i love the pop it produce every time you lift the throttle.
Ferrari has the best marketing, not the best cars! A friend of mine is the chief-mechanic at Foitek and he knows what he is talking about. This Zonda is absolutely stunning and it is absolutely beside the point if it's a Merc-engine or not. The whole package is sensational.
Holy hell that thing offers such a stunning experience ! : O Love it !
this video put a unconscious smile on my face, what a machine!
what is that clap sound after the gear change? astounding!
The best car of Pagani ,just brutal and loud ;)
the engine itself is a work of art. Just look at that monster exhaust system!
@set2light its built by AMG specifically for the zonda, and on the new huayra, they designed their own brand new engine ground, up!
In some Asian countries (except Japan or South Korea maybe), this car is road legal as long as it has brake lamp, turn lamps, headlight, side mirror, etc. There is one Zonda R that is road legal in Taiwan
You don't have to apologize for getting overexcited the Zonda R is just way to fabulous!!!
This is one of my favorite cars in Forza 3.
It's powered by Mercedes V-12. Italian styling with German power.
German power that won the 1997 FIA GT Championship.
i rarely download vids from youtube, but i think this one is a MUST to download !
DOWNLOADED !
sounds like one of the old 917's :D FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a bonkers car to drive!!!
And I mean that in a good way!!!
It almost sounds like a Mazda Furai, its so high pitched. Its pretty amazing when you consider that the original 7.3 litre V12 was the deepest, most bassy engine in existence.
woow that sound!
Only the Italians could ever make a car this beautiful. Awesome...just awesome.
Love the tach in the center of the steering wheel! Why aren't production cars like this??
is badass 1 word or 2
No need to apologize for having fun, I'd be a hell of a lot worse at controlling myself in that thing! lol Awesome review. That sound is incredible.
That is the most insane sounding car, in fact, i think it sounds better than an F1 car which just scream, this car has huge character to its exhaust note
start up is stunning
@MrBingping Most tracks have a noise regulation, and being a zonda r there's very few places where you can actually take this beast too. So its just much easier for them to take it to an airport.
this car reminds me of a huge go kart because it can handle corners so smoothly
gr8 vid always pagnai been my dream car......
just one thing....dose race cars such as zonda R or any other car like aston DBR9 and Corvette C6 got and ABS and ESP???
Tuned by AMG!!!Nice!!!
Please install that center console with all those switches in my car Horacio Pagani. How many arms and legs do I have to give?
@nawzy202 yep.. It's a fairly old engine but it's obviously revised. it sits lower and has a dry sump.

just insane
my private F1 Car :)
@oishifunk yes like fxx...you buy only to drive on tracks (or private streets :) )
wow that car got speed, handles, and looks.
I love that noise. Might try begging Pagani to record the engine noises for Zondas and releasing them on I Tunes for my I Pod.
The R sounded like the one in GT5 right in the beginning it was shown going past.
HELL YEAH
i dont think pagani are the same wiyh ferrari, lamborghini and the rest of the world supercar manufacturers, i think pagani is the leader. no manufacturers can make a supercars that blend brutal power, light weight, craftsmanship, incredible handling, great interior and exterior design, and true supercar spirit..... god job pagani....
@993turbo You do relize the engine thats in zonda comes from a CLK-GTR Lemans car that dominated 4 years in a row till it fliped 2 times
@MegaKagato yeah..with that price you mean.. :)
@AJMonza well thanks, you just learned me something ^^
the single greatest supercar in automotive history!
noone can make anything thats even close to this
I got goosebumps by just watching him enjoy the sound of that V12 monster at 4:02/4:05
Amazing bit of kit

Amazing car. I wish they had more of an opportunity to test it on a track, where its true potential lies.
@MiguelYetman in his Christmas DVD "The Italian Job" right?
i have no words for this!!!
First the Cinque, and now this? Autocar FTW!

@F1DarKLTU 218 just like the cinque
It is the roadster or the revolution is a road car just like the Cinque
@rama6maiden it doesn't meet noise regulations and other rules in order to compete witrh other cars...
There is a Zonda 760RS which is a street legal R. I don't know the 0-60 time, or the top speed on it but it is a 1 of 1 Zonda with 760 hp.
the car of my dreams
honestly dude your completely right because from what ive seen & heard the veyron's are not to found of sudden direction change and most people who own rarely or have never taken the car anywhere close to its limits while the zonda is not that intimidating of a car to drive even though it is ungodly fast when driven right

And if i had the official deccelerate specs by both companies i really doubt the Zonda R would be much better, if at all.
superb video Autocar! Keep 'em coming!
that car just turns & go's!
is there such thing as leaning on the car? every corner is sooo sharp!
@MiguelYetman In his new DVD "The Italian Job" he does :) He drives it around Imola.
@CroswhiteK Is the veyron ss not a racecar
It excites me, I would like to see pagani Zonda r at maximum speed, I suppose that other cars will never be able to follow it
Abhelkabeche issoufi lmp1 can follow it of course
0:13..Pagani was kind enough to install a built in slapping machine that reminds you it is real life when you accelerate.
@MiguelYetman Clarkson didnt wear a helmet either as i recall.
0:54 ihm Not sure if i understand hin right, but does He say it could produce 900 HP?
@Ferrorschini Because YOU have already the 3 cars, right ?
I would literally give away 10 years of my life to experience that 3:55 moment!
veryon is fast in a straight line, this is fast around corners where the real fun begins
@NekoOfficial I hear what you are saying haha, but racetracks dont come very cheap to buy i guess, unless you fitted numberplates & indicators and hoped no one notices its not road legal
DAMN....I can listen that engine VrooooooMmmmmMMmmmmmmmmmm
ALL DAY LONG!
Man after hearing this I doubt I would ever love a turbocharged!
@evofreak1304 Is this version street legal? The Bugatti is made to have a luxurious interior and not be loud at all. This is made to be fast and thats all.
Thats the car I need. I'm tired of driving my mazda protege. I can't see any scenario where I could get tired of driving a Pagani.
mind the thumps downers, they're just changing their panties
