Pagani’s zombie hypercar refuses to die. Again.
The Italian boutique manufacturer just unveiled another one-off Zonda, this time inspired by Asia’s Kunlun Mountains.
Death Certificate: Still Pending
Officially, Pagani ended Zonda production in 2019. Unofficially, they’ll happily transform your existing Zonda into something entirely new—if your bank account has enough zeroes.
This latest creation isn’t a new build but a complete reimagining of an existing Zonda Roadster chassis, reportedly commissioned by a deep-pocketed Chinese client.
The price? North of $10 million. For a car that’s technically already been built once.
Blue Mountain Special
What makes this particular Zonda noteworthy:
- Striking exposed blue carbon fiber bodywork that mimics the Kunlun mountain range
- Aggressive double-layer rear wing for additional downforce
- Functional roof scoop that channels air directly to the engine
Underneath that sculpted carbon fiber sits the familiar 7.3-liter naturally aspirated AMG V12. Based on the 760 series variants, it likely produces 760 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque—enough to propel this Italian artwork to a top speed of 223 mph.
No interior images have been released. Neither have transmission details.
The Zonda That Wouldn’t Die
This latest creation comes through Pagani’s Unico program, which essentially allows wealthy clients to resurrect and reimagine older Zondas with bespoke features.
The Zonda has always been more than just a hypercar. It’s Horacio Pagani’s mechanical masterpiece—a vehicle that blends art and engineering in ways that make other supercars look mass-produced.
For context, the track-focused Zonda R delivers race car performance with its specially tuned 6.0-liter AMG V12 producing 750 hp. It rockets from 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and weighs a scant 1070 kg.
The even more extreme Zonda Revolución pushes output to 800 hp while incorporating Formula 1-inspired DRS and a carbon-titanium monocoque.
Undead and Uncompromising
Pagani announced this latest creation on their Facebook page, proving once again that the Zonda’s death has been greatly exaggerated.
While other manufacturers release press statements about “final editions,” Pagani simply keeps building new versions of a 24-year-old hypercar.
And why not? When your creation remains this compelling after two decades, retirement seems premature.
The Zonda doesn’t need a successor. It’s still busy perfecting itself.
