Pagani Zonda C12 / S / F (1999-2008)

Carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. Five-speed manual on C12, six-speed manual standard from C12-S onwards. The C12 (1999-2002) used the 6.0L M120 V12 (408 or 450 hp depending on tune); only 5 made. The C12-S (2002) introduced the 7.0L variant at 542 hp. The C12-S 7.3 (2002 onwards) used the 7.3L M297 at 547 hp. The Zonda F (2005, named for Fangio) was a comprehensive rework with revised aerodynamics, lighter weight, and 602 hp; F Roadster followed in 2007. Pagani's hand-built construction philosophy meant each car took ~6 weeks at the Modena atelier. Total production across the C12/S/F era around 80-100 cars, including roadsters (Roadster 7.3 at 40 cars). Now firmly in collector hypercar territory — the Zonda F particularly is recognised as one of the great driver's hypercars of the era.
