Pagani Zonda C12-S Monza

The Pagani Zonda C12-S Monza is a one-off track-day Zonda built from the ground up to go as fast as Pagani could make it, not for any particular racing series. It first appeared at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, where Pagani said it was ordered by an ambitious American customer who wanted something entirely different. A dry-sump version of the AMG 7.3 litre V12 is fixed rigidly into the carbon fibre chassis, with ceramic headers and an exhaust without silencers or catalysts, giving somewhat more than 600 bhp. The suspension was stiffened with five-way adjustable Ohlins shocks and larger Brembo discs, and the car has a big rear wing, a carbon fibre roof, plexiglass windows and a stripped interior with a Sparco roll cage and a Motec display. After the Paris show it was shipped to the United States with a larger adjustable rear wing and was offered for sale in 2006 after being driven less than 30 miles.
