| Pagani, manufacturer of
the Zonda C12 S, unveiled a attractive new model, the Zonda Roadster, in
the Geneva earlier this week. To be produced in a limited edition of 40
completely made-to-measure cars, the all-carbon fibre Zonda Roadster features
a unique removable composite roof as well as a redesigned engine cover.
A single bright yellow Roaster was joined on the Pagani stand by a metallic
grey closed top Zonda C12 S 7.3.
The Italian marque claim
the new carbon fibre central chassis structure reaches the highest structural
rigidity level available in the segment, 18.000 Nm/mm in torsional rigidity,
9.000 Nm/mm in flexional rigidity, for a dry weight of 1280 Kg, while the
roll bar, elliptical in section, is built out of carbon and chrome-molybdene
alloy.
The 7.3-litre Mercedes Benz
AMG engine borrowed from the C12 S offers its 555HP and 750Nm power through
the ABS/Traction Control safety systems already used in the Zonda S. The
forged aluminium wheels are shod with 255/35/19 and 345/35/19 front and
rear tyres respecitively and have been specially developed for the Zonda
by Michelin. |
