It's the last in a wild line of amazing machines. I'm talking about the Pagani Zonda, which has just reached the end of its crazy life. The final machine has been officially revealed, and it arrives as the Pagani Zonda Revolucion track special. The Revolucion is a stunning collaboration of carbon fiber, engine engineering, and aggressive design work. It's also the culmination of everything Zonda, which means it needs to leave a big imprint on the planet. It does just that thanks to the 6.0-liter V12 AMG engine that pushes out 800 horsepower and more than 550 pound-feet of torque. That power...

Pagani Formally Announces Sonus faber Partnership
The Pagani Huayra supercar is without doubt a work of art, in addition to being one of the best performing cars on the planet. However, until now the car had one key flaw, at least it did in the eyes of Pagani founder and chief designer Horacio Pagani. That flaw was the car’s audio system...

The first episode of season 19 of Top Gear aired overnight, and not only were viewers treated with the usual antics of the show's hosts, but a new record was set at the Top Gear Test Track. That record was set by the Pagani Huayra supercar, whose time of 1:13.8 is the now the fastest set by a production car around the famous track. Pagani’s own Zonda R managed to lap the 1.75-mile track in just 1:08.5, and a Ferrari FXX piloted by none other than Michael Schumacher did it in 1:10.7, but neither of these can be considered anywhere near street legal. The Huayra’s new time is...

Officially, the Pagani Zonda’s production run lasted from 1999 through 2011, with just 206 examples ever built. Toward the end of the car’s production run, beginning in 2009, Pagani produced a track-only version of its supercar called the Zonda R. Only 15 Zonda R models were built over the car’s lifespan, and it’s said the uber-supercar was created as a rolling testbed for Pagani’s latest masterpiece, the Huayra. The Zonda R quickly proved itself as one of the fastest cars in the world, lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife in an astonishing 6:47. Word of an...
