Zonda F was designed to reflect the shared philosophy between Horacio Pagani and world champion race driver Juan Manuel Fangio, which entails a commitment to a mission, a vision and a goal without neglecting essential concepts such as lightness, safety, performance and inventiveness. Their tight friendship, which was soon heading far beyond the simple desire for a Mercedes-Benz engine, reached its highest point in 2005 with the creation of the Zonda F supercar, with logo, design concept and name entirely dedicated to Fangio.
The Pagani atelier, therefore, takes its design inspiration from the Fangio model and the outcome is an innovative and exclusive creation featuring a 12-cylinder Mercedes-AMG 12 engine, more evolved and lightweight, astonishing and fascinating compared to its predecessors, with maximum output power of 650 HP and 780 Nm torque. By following this path, Pagani manages to achieve a rare gem of luxury, endowed with character, style and a personality of its own, which reflects not only the artisan touch of its creator, but also his very inspiration.
Zonda F is the first car ever to display, upon client’s request, an
exclusive bodywork in natural surface carbon fibre, according to a
project philosophy which is just as transparent, pure and natural.
Moreover, the staff at the Pagani atelier convey to the client the same love for tradition and the same passion for historic race cars like those driven by the fabulous Fangio, thanks to the great professionalism and attentive care towards interior details, like the Nardi steering wheel in precious wood finished by hand or the new dashboard inspired to the art and craft of antique master clockmakers.
The length of the intake manifolds are optimized for more sophisticated power regimes and shapes, thanks to the aid of the Hydroforming technology used in high-pressure moulding. The airbox contour has been developed to achieve a uniformly distributed airflow across the bench, according to a design that could be easily integrated into this unique car. By positioning the exhaust manifolds in a predetermined area, in compliance with the Formula 1 standards, the exhaust system itself ensures an enhanced flow of gas emissions.
When you're racing for the quickest team in Formula 1, you're basically as big of a star as they come. Lewis Hamilton is not only one of the best race drivers in history, but also one of the most popular, and his personal car choices reflect that.
Of course, what do you drive when you're not racing a state of the art Mercedes GP hybrid Formula 1 car? Or better yet, what do you drive for pleasure? Is there anything that can even remotely come close to that?
Well, performance wise no. Nothing that would come close. But you can maybe do 'close enough', especially if it's something that appeals to the driver in you, something that will keep you on your toes and make sure you're not just looking for a joyride. We've seen Lewis out and about in everyday cars such as a Maserati GranCabrio or a Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake, but those are fashion statement cars.
Of course, he's got his SL 65 AMG Black Series, his SLS AMG Black Series, and he probably even has a McLaren MP4-12C stashed away somewhere, but the car he's most famous for driving, other than his grand prix car, is a Pagani Zonda 760LH (where the LH stands for Lewis Hamilton) made specifically at his request.
It's safe to say that car is breathtaking, especially in these recently posted images on his Facebook page, where Lewis tagged it as his '#batmobile'. We can't argue with that! We also know that this amazing piece of engineering produces 760 HP and that it has a manual gearbox, which goes to show not only how much Lewis loves to drive, but also what type of car you'd need in order to feel happy with calling it a "driver's car", when the driver is a two-time Formula 1 champion.
