Few carmakers still built each element of a car by hand, four at a time, in a single workshop, and end up with a product anywhere near the league of the Pagani Zonda, but the Italian hypercar maker has decided to one-up itself with the introduction of the Zonda R.

Adding more performance, power and reducing weight even further, the Zonda R promises not just the luxury and quality of a hand-built supercar, but the outright performance of a race car. Powered by a very hot variant of the 7.3L AMG V12 engine that underpins several other Zondas, the R model is an extreme machine - extreme in design, extreme in materials and extreme in performance. Though the car has yet to take to the track in anger - at least publicly - its heavier, less powerful Zonda F stablemate has already set a scorching Nurburgring lap time of 7:27.82.

To see what Pagani thinks of its new superstar, check out the first official commercial trailer below.
