The Pagani Zonda is a supercar made by Italian car maker Pagani. It
debuted in 1999 and continues through the present, with production
proceeding at roughly 25 cars per year. As of December, 2005, 60 Zondas
had been built. It is a mid-engined 2-seat coupe and convertible.
Construction is mainly of carbon fiber.
Some early Zonda
engineering was done by Formula One champion, Juan Manuel Fangio. The
car was originally to be named for him, the "Fangio F1", but the name
was changed upon his death in 1995.
The Zonda is often compared to
other supercars such as the Enzo Ferrari, the Koenigsegg CCR, the
Lamborghini Murcielago and the Porsche Carrera GT.
