Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Pagani reported a 6:47 lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife for the Zonda R on 30 June 2010, using bespoke Pirelli tyres.

evo tested a Zonda R at the Top Gear test track in 2009. Its quoted 739 bhp is below the 750 hp that Pagani gives.
