skid off a road down a slope

@@riclee371 does that mean he's not coming on then?

@@Xiphactinus yes, hes burning down

@@Xiphactinus well james. I have veered into an immovable object at tremendous speed and now my entire skeleton has been ground to dust. So I'm afraid that'll be a no.

Which I shall now demonstrate

Look at the Pagani Zonda Cinque.

@@philithegamer8265 One of the best looking cars of all time.

eir

Exactly 💯

*their

Then followed by several more before they decide they aren't done yet...

@@reapertheabsol0359 yep, they might as well keep the Zonda for their race division and have the Hyuara (or whatever else) focus on being a road legal supercar

"bUt WaIt, ThErE's MoRe!!"

The Zonda still keeps returning from time to time.

No problems AFAIC I don't mind them producing the Zonda until eternity... Legend of a car *:)*

Now 12

I’m pretty sure its from 2007

why bother making a race track in that area then. So freaking stupid.

yea

+Zac Youngson Seems abit stupid moving next to a racetrack if you don't want to hear cars.

What goes down in the real world? I am confused as to why ANYONE would put a race track down smack dab in the middle of a residential district?

We can pretty quickly all agree that noise limits are stupid. Racetracks should be kept as racetracks. The thing is that residential and urban areas moves up to the track over time. Most racetracks have been there for more than 35 years. But year by year, cities becomes bigger, and rural areals smaller with time. In Denmark, we have experienced that some even speculate in that, because ofc. while there is a racetrack, prices on land and houses nearby are cheap, but if you as a neighbor to a track, can get that track closed down, your land/house/whatever will grow in value over time. Closing down a racetrack has showned to be easier than you should think basically because no other people that car community it-self gives a shit about cars, racing or anything thereabout, so to keep everyone happy, every track has to be within noise limits. If you go to a trackday in Denmark, your car have to be within a 95 DB limit I believe, and at a raceweekend, the cars has to be within a 100 or 105 DB limit. Furthermore, each track only have limited given days that they can use these DB limits. E.G. the three tracks we have here only have three or if they are lucky, four race weekends in total each.

"Dear God!"

​@@fakeplayer9088Coco Hayashi also says There's plenty more.

If I had the money to buy a super car, I would buy a Pagani (whichever one was available at they time). They're beautiful.

😂😅🤣

Can't nut to a car

@@KaziNafisAhmad-cx2eq wanna bet?

Much better

@@KaziNafisAhmad-cx2eq I do

It produces MUSIC/PORN FOR THE EARS

Minniva Langham people who buys them can rent a whole track or own them.

Shiina Kobayashi-Chan the pure use of this car is racing. You should've KINDA seen that its made for racing. So you race at tracks and not the road, which is why its weird not to be allowed to drive on the track

aussiearu but This car didnt produce noise it made music / real art.

speed bumps which only range rovers can handle

At first I thought they were actually about to slam it into a tree lol.

Yeah, just ram that shit.

The only way to stop faster, is to hit a tree*😂

The only faster way to stop is hitting a tree :P

hitting a tree is the fastest is the way to stop

2023, its been 14 years now since Zonda R was first released worldwide. On NFS SHIFT and GT5, this Zonda R is overpowered.

Zonda R in 2023 still is one of the legendary racecars to exist among the Sesto Elemento.

+Russell Assuming constant acceleration, you brake at roughly 1.42G.

f1 drivers sustain braking forces of over 5.8G

+driventolegend True. Less than 6s to go from 300km/h to a stop. (using brake pedal. Not a tree or a fence). Just lifting your foot off the throttle makes the car brake at roughly 1G : that's how much downforce and drag they have.

+Russell *have.

+ArchaicMuse deceleration :)

FasAntick theyre absolutely staggering

They really don't want to let that car go...and I can understand, all the Zondas are beautiful

It's 2023, and I'm pretty sure more Zonda 760 editions will come out from Horacio's hands

​@@LockheedMartinF22Raptor7Zonda R on both NFS SHIFT & GT5 are equally OP.

​@@JetFalcon710the Zonda R 760 Edition maybe gonna unveiled worldwide next year...

The 'new Zondas are not new. They are older zondas that are sent back to the factory for upgrades

yup man

and lambos/bugattis

TheAventadorSV Ferrrari isn't the best F1 team though... They are easily beaten by Mercedes :)

Akhilesh Bhaugeerutty Oh I know :) I'm just saying It would be nice to see another italian team on the track

Akhilesh Bhaugeerutty they didn't actually say ferrari are the best team

TheAventadorSV You didnt think this through did you ?

It was the only car SO LOUD they had to put a headset on him. This car is just engineering perfection. If I had about $6 Billion dollars for a track and this car I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

Jay Scherbring I had a chance to View this amazing car in gloss black and black wheels. its in Canada Btw. this is the link to the place www.legendarymotorcar.com/site2/listing/2011-pagani-zonda-r/ anyone who lives in southern ontario should check this out.

Any car you need a headset because the V12 is too loud is my kind of car. It is beautifully built and engineered. That black gloss R is insane. I can only hope that I can be that rich to own one eventually.

AdmiralCreamy up there with the sesto elemento but I love this review

Yeah... Beatiful...

"some say his nipples are explosive"

It does indeed look like it shat itself.

Let's hope it didn't shit on the car.

That bird scared me.....

For sure that bird learned a lesson, not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, lol

@@elektrik3050 were you watching it with VR or what? Lol

+Capeau Strange answer you gave me to my parent comment, but no, not only to my lifetime. Everyone who is a pure petrol head with good knowledge of art technique and philosophy of cars will say that

so emotional It cries if you don't read a bedtime story to it :(

I think the mercy sv is more emotional

The Porsche Carrera GT is one of the last raw and emotional super cars out there. Would not say better or worse then the zonda R but different and fantastic as well.

No that's the alfa 4c

HP Barchetta: "Am I a joke to both of you"

@@potatoavacadonion1025 zun : you got to be joking me

yeahhh, he definitely misquoted that number. A normal racetrack goes for around $6 *million*

It would be really convenient xD

+Marcello Penk-Masucci to make it from a peice of land he isnt wrong. selling is different to making one from scratch lol

+Marcello Penk-Masucci A track that makes a loss currently and is in desperate need of tons of repair work. Also, he's quoting building one from scratch.

Yeah and excavating costs to build hills and cambered corners etc

Excellent observation!

Watch the grand tour on prime tv. The 3 made basically top gear again

at least we have grand tour

@@Rouwh we dont have this free

The huarya is such a piece of art tho

@@jcast3126 especially the new huayra r, absolutely incredible car

@@0216Charlie it looks much worse than the zonda r

@@tasman5572 To be fair, the vast majority of cars ever made look much worse than the Zonda R lol

I don't know.... the huayra has a really lamborghini feel that really adds. The Zonda is very exotic looking but not so sporty in my opinion

Fred Smith now put a K at the back of the FXX

@@73stapo And an EVO

Zonda R, Mclaren F1.. that moment when you realise both have germans engines

@@vico4981 zonda R amg / McLaren F1 LM BMW M power

@@vico4981 AMG engines, for the kind of motors they are, are actually quite cheap! Also, AMG is one of the few that actually sells supercar engines to other manufacturer. AFAIK, atm Porsche and Ferrari are not selling their engines. Audi doesn't sell its in-house Lambo-Audi blocks either.

So the people that live local to the track don't get too pissed off and get the track shut down

i feel like residents upset with some noise during the day can't shut down a billion dollar race track. That would be ridiculous if they could.

+Telexic They could. Do you want a bunch of Pagani Zonda R's running around infront of your house? No. They are over 40dcbs and can make you deaf if you get too close and for too long.

Cylo Maniac I doubt there are homes that are close enough to a track for the noise to actually harm them. It would just be annoying if you didn't like it. Why would you move close to a track if the noise bothered you? There are plenty of cars that drive on the roads where I live that are as loud if not louder than the zonda R lol.

Telexic You must not know alot about tracks.

Real ducking quick!

+Upswing Poker But they're carbon siramic(please correct me) disc brakes which are big than an 18" alloy wheel!

carbon ceramic.

Anal cheese

🙋

yup

Can't wait for their new show!

Stone Cold what new show?

+harm ambergen the 3 top gear guys are making a show on Amazon tv or something! Confirmed and all! Also first season laferrari vs GTR vs 911😱(not lying I am surprised you haven't heard)

Huayra Not Zondas anymore troll

they actually make zondas still. I saw a completely new one at the new Pagani factory a month ago. They still have the 7.3 AMG engines left. so they will make them until they run out of them, wich they will soon

facepalm.jpg define "completely new" because every supercar of this calibur is basically "completely new" by typical automobile standards... 20,000 miles for one of these is ALOT. Not to mention they constantly service and upgrade/maintain the cars for their customers probably just as much if not more than the time they spend actually making their latest vehicle, givin the extremely exclusive nature of their product. Curious it strikes me that you perhaps know someone who is employed at Pagani that can verify this "Pagani still producing Zondas" claim.

Edvin Cederqvist Better than McLaren shitting out 'new' same cars every 2 years

the only mclaren is the f1

3rd - Renault R24 and Lotus T125 both were faster

First, Renault Formula one v10 car, did it under a minute!

Ultima GTR

Best sounding V12 imo.

6:42

There was a time I would've agreed with this, up until I heard the V10 in the LFA, the most underrated supercar ever.

@@PixelFastFood 599 GTO sounds better

@@americanmuscleisalwaysfast1964 nah not imo tbh the way this screams is just way more "vintage-y" which I like alot. Brings up nostalgia

Italy is in Europe

I know but he said any car in Europe out of Britain, France, Italy etc. not just Italy

Yes. I'd take a Zonda over any other car from anywhere in Europe

agera rs is nice too

Money Never Sleeps if I could get any any American car I wouldn’t

You spelt santa wrong

It looks like a fish The Mclaren p1 is the sexiest car

+Second City Saint Nah nah this is the sexiest car ever

LuigiPSN yeah if you like nemo looking cars

Second City Saint Nemo looking cars? Hahaha buffoon!

+Jamie Stirzaker no it wasnt made by then

it is the last Zonda the Huayra was made by separate people

He said one last horror

well done have this RU-vid comment award .

Yes the Huahrehyayra

a Hyper car * from the dark side!

Donovan Fuller the force is strong with this one.

You forgot the Huayra

sweetdude1298 Its not a Zonda : D

Coby De Lara I totally didn't think if that, it's name isn't the Pagani Zonda Huayra. Thanks for realising that I made a mistake

HP Barchetta

We've in no way reached the pinnacle. Those cars are both amazing but both missing modern/hybrid engine technology such as KERS. Love or hate the new technology, it will bring better performance.

***** I'll grant you the "hybrid", but those cars lacking "modern" engines? No. I don't think so.

By no way was I saying that the R or FXX were not modern.. I comment pertained to hybrid element not one or the other.

The pinnacle will be a full electric hyper car with 4 motors. One one each wheel. One batterie in the middle of the car as low as possible. A car like that would have amazing acceleration, and amazing corner speed due to possibility to control the torque in ms in depend on each wheel and the extreme low center of gravity.

***** Well you kinda did. You wrote "modern/hybrid". "Modern hybrid" would be referring only to newer hybrid technology.

Alessandro De pietri There is only one rule it does not break and that I wish they did... it is not a Fan car !

Alessandro De pietri The FIA is a bitch.

I do not agree... if we did not have such rules, dozens would die every year !

ThePEagle So then only true men would race. And the sport would be as it should.

Teutone nice idea but it's a health and safety thing, pagani still have no idea just how fast this thing is... plus think of insurance no one would want to take it out just in case

It's a limited production car, the will insurance be insanely high, at probably 2-5k a month. It's insanely loud, as you know. And it would need many downgraded parts to have it legally on the road.

Well I guess

Why

Three words: "bye bye Zonda"

The newer Revolucion 800hp model should much faster here and Ring. Something around 1:06 at Dunsfold and 6:37 or less on Ring seems quite possible.

No its not The Porsche 961 is the fastest at Nurburgring.

Oh well it's changed then :)

Porsche 961 or 918?

961 the one which is not street legal. The fastest car on nurburgring

That's like saying i've flown a fighter jet in GTA....

***** All be it a very unrealistic one yes.

***** It's a racing simulator game, Emphasis on the GAME, go in a real simulator it feels so SO much different, Then go from the simulator to the track to get the real deal. To justify this point even more watch the top gear episode with the farewell to the NSX.

Adam Rogers What u mean farewell to nsx... it just went on holiday shes back now

Matthew Maguire not yet, Due 2015 BUT we've been told we were gonna have it last year, and then last year we were told it be this year. So on and so on

On that list only faster than the zonda are F1 cars

Of course pagani is superior to Ferrari and lambo and in my opinion the number one Italian super car or hyper car manufacturer

+Rares67 The fxx is 8 years older ... it woud be a shame if it´s not

That's because of the handling, grip and light weight. The Veyron is considerably faster but only on long straights.

Juzh123 no, not true.

Justin V in what track is the veyron ss better than the zonda r ???

kosta doce one mile drag race that about it maybe 1/4 who knows

A beautiful racecar
