The Pagani Zonda R is a car that the gods can be jealous of. Zipping around the Nurburgring in less than seven minutes, the Pagani Zonda R set the fastest production car lap record with an astounding lap time of just 6:47.5 ! Watching the following video is enough to make even the most hardcore speed junky cringe in their seats. Powered by a six liter V12 engine swapped from the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR, the Pagani Zonda R has plenty of low end torque and high end horsepower to pull through the curves and speed down the straights. With 739 horsepower at 8,000 RPM and 523 foot pounds of torque at just 5,700 RPM, there is nothing between the driver and heart pounding acceleration except for a slight press of the throttle. Welcome to Pagani,
Zonda R.
If the mind blowing acceleration of zero to sixty in 2.6 seconds, exotic carbon fiber styling, and hefty price tag of $1.5M can't sooth your adrenaline gland, then you need to consider upping the ante and joining NASA or taking up Russian roulette. Either way, the two door coupe is setting the pace for making street legal race cars out of track-biased vehicles. Watching the video below, you can just see the tears flowing from Ferrari. They thought they broke the lap record, but indeed they never did.
