Pagani Automobili are presenting the Zonda F Roadster, a 650bhp AMG Mercedes-Benz V12 engined supercar limited to a production run of just 25 units, in Geneva this week for its world première.

Exactly a year ago Pagani presented the Zonda F Coupé at the prestigious Swiss show, an even more extreme version of their Zonda C12 which was dedicated to legendary F1 driver Juan-Manuel Fangio (hence the 'F' designation), and this year sees the same major upgrade being applied to their convertible supercar. The Zonda Roadster F is being presented alongside the Zonda F Coupé on Pagani's stand in Geneva.

Pagani Zonda Roadster F

Pagani Automobili is proud to unveil the Roadster F, a new jewel in the Zonda family: fast open top motoring at its best. Hand built by Pagani in a limited run of 25, the Roadster F offers the outstanding driveability and performance of the F Coupè, enhanced by the pleasure of driving with a gentle breeze in the hair.

Thanks to an original roof made out of carbon fibre and cloth (removable in a few seconds) and due to the use of carbon fabrics for the construction of the central chassis, bodywork and interior, it was possible to maintain the dry weight of 1230kg, which translates in a weight/power ratio of 1,89kg/hp for the Clubsport version. Now think about this; a light and rigid vehicle body, pushed by the mighty 7.3 Litre Mercedes-AMG V12 engine, with a power of 650hp and a torque of 780Nm. The 0 – 200kph time takes just 9.8 seconds and a few instants later you exceed the 300kph mark... all topless.
 

The Roadster F travels along the boundary where beauty and power merge together forming something special; it’s sinuous and aerodynamically shaped bodywork gets its prominence from sharp edges and elegant lines, which show at first glance its extraordinary potential. From the cockpit the driver enjoys a magnificent view, unusual for a supercar. With his hands on the steering wheel he enjoy an environment that far exceeds most expectations, with a mixture of carbon fibre, soft leather and polished Aluminium lighting up your senses. The precious instrument cluster looks like the handiwork of a watchmaker. It reveals the pure-breed of an Italian GT car: thanks to its personality, mixing sensuality, aggressiveness and magnetic beauty, the driver can easily imagine it driving along the sea front in Monte Carlo or screaming down a straight at Le Mans. All this, supported by handling that is unbelievably efficient and sincere and that monitors constantly what is happening to every single wheel; creating the feeling of the power behind the driver and the precise response in front.

The Pagani Zonda Roadster F is not a racecar; it is rather a jewel which is handcrafted in Italy, a whirl of emotions, a masterpiece for the connoisseur who cares to drive fast. Very fast. Like the heart beating within its soul. The fastest, most exclusive, most powerful and most expensive Roadster in the world.
