10 years ago I watched this video. Today, I love it more. The gear’s banging, the sound of the pure v12 and the legendary historical driving skills. It never gets old. Wish I drive a Zonda r one day.
People simply don't understand how huge this performance was! 6:47.50 for the WHOLE circuit (20,832 meters) in 2010. This lap stood for 7 long years, and was only touched in 2017 by an electric Evo and McLaren P1 LM. However, McLaren's took the shorter version of the lap, which is a whole 232 meters shorter, which would add roughly 4 seconds to its record of 6:43.22 for a total 6:47.22. So in reality, the McLaren basically matched the time of Zonda R, a whole 7 years later! The full lap is 20,832 meters long. The shorter version is 20,600 meters long.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nordschleife_lap_times

@@curlyefrain9879 we have to see if pagani themselves think if they are really going to do it plus its been 10 years since that lap run so they might have a lot in preparation
At 2:49 he switched into the wrong gear because the shift-paddles on the steering-wheel are no typical for him. That was because in such situations, especially in this corner you don't think, you just do and handle intuitively. Great respect for the driver. And for everyone who telling about over and understeer, the steering of the driver is to keep this beast on the track xD
I just watched that world record run by Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo, driven by Timo Bernhard in 5:19.55, made this lap felt not as fast. But honestly, any lap time under 7 minutes is incredible.
That thing has more aero than a starving falcon dropping down for the last field mouse of the season. Not to take away from it, but this sort of thing is way more scarry and you cant really blame the guy for keeping some margin.
That’s a whole lmp1 car vs a track beast ofc it’s gonna be slower I mean that thing is basically a rocket compared to the glorious Pagani Zonda r not to mention that things got hybrid
People say that this car is no faster than a modern GT2 RS. That is a fantastic car, no doubt. But I feel like people forgot a couple of things. This 6m 47s lap, however brilliant, was not the best there could have been. That is no criticism of the driver, because he is phenomenal to have even gotten it around the Green Hell in that much time. But if he tried again, I'm sure the car could do 6:43 or even less than that. And with modern tires, its capable of even more for sure!
It's the tyre technology. With modern tweaks and that, the car can easily push for under 6:10. This car is, and will always remain one of the greatest beasts on the face of Earth.
That's hilarious, they don't understand what driving a real race car on one of the worlds hardest race courses pushing 180mph on straightaways is really like. Every bump pulls your steering wheel and you have to keep the car under control, that's scary. Nur isn't the smoothest track either.
...and with a few refinements to the gearbox, too... it found itself in the wrong gear a handful of times, requiring the driver to correct it, losing valuable moments of forward velocity in the process. I'm sure there were many seconds lost to that alone.
Thanks for the video and who’s going to watch this in 2022? A lot of people, the Original video thought YT Made it for kids, so I found this one to comment on lol
@Allister Lewis I think I misquoted from yamahaevo in the video ruclips.net/video/7wplfrYpox0/видео.html. There was another where someone from Koenigsegg clarified.
Jesus did you see those trucks at 1:15 just parked on the grass? I'm surprised they let this guy set a hot lap with them hanging about. If he popped a tyre and went sideways into the back of one of them, he's dead.
The Vulcan AMR sounds like a Vulcan, which is good, if it were just a Vulcan. What the sounds are really missing is that *BASS*. More bass would probably fix the Zonda R, Vulcan AMR, and basically all the American V8 sounds
Regular Zonda don't go for sale on public auctions nowadays, but it's safe to assume that a Zonda S/F would easily grab 6-7 million. The Zonda R, on one hand is better in every single way than the S/F, but is not street legal, so I assume would sell for about 7-8 million. But these are all speculations. If you give me $7 million, I'll try to get one and update you on the current Zonda market situation.
+Mike M it's 155mph on the m4 because it's limited on purpose which is good but the zonda R doesn't keep going to 211mph+ like the E60 M5 because of the downforces from all the wings
I don't think anyone would bother to modify the Zonda R. Even if you could it would be stupid to as the car was engineered off balance. If you change something it will not make it balanced anymore and at that price point it would just more ideal to get a car that is $100k and modify it or even get a used car and modify that. The Zonda R is over $1M. I'm sure even with a $5k car can be highly modified in every single area to out perform cars $2M new built strictly on performance. With some good body shell talent it could even look better as well! Those who have money, most likely the Zonda R is out the box ready to go beating everything on the track that isn't a high tier Formula 1. There's a lot of work to be done if you modify any car to meet high tier expectations for farrrrrrrr less money.
Love this lap so much. But it could have been so much faster. Something was seriously wrong with the selector especially on the downshifts. They became so damn clunky after the first few dozen corners.
Put both cars on equal tires and this thing will demolish the Black Series all day long. It's more than 500 kg lighter, 20 more HP and way more downforce (that wing isn't just for show). That being said, it's bizarre the amount of tire technology advancements during recent years.
