In a recent announcement by Pagani company founder, Horacio Pagani, the company are set to release a replacement for there insanely quick Zonda supercar by the end of 2010.
The Argentine boss and self confessed 'petrol head' announced to the media that the new car called the C9, will be powered by a 690bhp version of Mercedes' 6.0-litre V12 AMG engine.
And by no means is this car going to be a carbon copy of the origional Zonda R. Pagani stated that the completely re-designed Zonda replacement will be underpinned by a carbon-titanium chassis and will feature 3770 new parts. Expect this car to be both fast, and expensive, with only 40 planned for production each year were guessing the price tag will likely be around the £785,000 mark.
The current Zonda R screams in at just 0-62mph in 2.7 seconds and keeps going all the way up to 217mph, therefore we can assume the new C9 will be even faster, fast enough that just the thought of it could easily make your eyes bleed.
We're looking forward to seeing the new supercar thunder around the Top Gear test track some time later in the year. Further information can be found at the company's website, http://www.paganiautomobili.it/.
