NEW PAGANI ZONDA R! GPGT...
-
The all now Pagani Zonda is out, and this time it's called the Zonda R. Guessed Tommie Goh bought his Zonda F too early.
This new Zonda R has 750bhp from the same V12 AMG engine. A big increase over the Zonda F's 594bhp. It's nearly entirely made of carbonfibre and it has a rubber fuel tank, roll cage and a fueler cap (much like a GT car) that can refuel faster than normal fueler cap. This is to reduce pit stop time when racing at a track. YES, it's track-ready yet it's also road-legal.
It also has a longer wheelbase than the Zonda F and also a wider track, so centre of gravity is lower. There's also a HUGE carbonfibre wing at the back to generate tons of downforce at high speed.
It'll lap the famous Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 32 seconds. It's priced at a cool £700,000.
That translates to S$2.1million without ANY tax yet. Plus tax, expect it to cost at least S$5-6million locally I guess.
Here are the pictures HOT and fresh from Pagani's website. Enjoy.

Oh..I think I know why Pagani Zonda F lapped in 7:33 and the Zonda R in 7:32..I think the 7:33 time for Zonda F is when its lapping the Nordschleife, the Northen side of the Nurburgring..I think the 7:32 time for the Zonda R is for the whole of Nurburgring I guess?
Just my 2 cents worth of guessing...... -
The new tail light design is MUCH MUCH better than the current ones
-

I shall hijack my own thread. Here's news and pictures of the all-new Lamborghini Reventón!
This is the Lamborghini Reventon, unveiled today (11 September) at the Frankfurt motor show. It’s not quite a concept car – the Reventon will head from Frankfurt to a very limited clientele – but it’s still not quite a real production car, either. At a neat one million euros before tax, or around £675,000 plus tax, the Reventon will be not only the most expensive car at the Frankfurt motor show, but the rarest as well.
Lamborghini will build only 20 Reventons and they have already been snapped up.
The Reventon is named after a Mexican bull that killed a toreador in 1943. It is described by Lamborghini as an art-house Murcielago LP640 inspired by the F22 jet (a state-of-the-art fighter built by Lockheed Martin), and was designed, developed and built exclusively within LamborghiniÂ’s Centro Stile in Italy. Its only mechanical difference to the LP640 is a blue-printed version of the 6.5-litre all-alloy V12 to develop 650bhp at 8000rpm. Instead of extra speed, the car has been used as a trial run for new technology and new design-to-production systems.
While the forward-leaning, arrowed look of the carbonfibre body (just the roof and doors remain in aluminium) shares only its mirrors with the LP640, it is the interior that commands attention.
The digital dash gives drivers the choice of a round, analogue speedo and tacho or a more radical jet fighter-inspired solution. In a radical departure from the automotive norm, the alternate display has no tacho or speedo needles. Instead, it uses a pair of converging lines to make a digitized landing strip (not dissimilar in shape to the indicator lines on a Lexus's reversing camera) to mark out the tacho and speedo numbers. Then thereÂ’s a wing-style indicator in each path that moves up and down with revs and speed.
“We’ve developed the dash on our own by brainstorming. We only went outside to get it done once we’d figured it all out,” Lamborghini director of brand and design, Manfred Fitzgerald said, proudly. “Everyone is looking in the same dash direction as we’ve taken, but they’re looking in the old style. I don’t want to take the path that has been walked already.”
It is the first Lamborghini to go directly from sketches to CAD to production in a process that will be emulated on future programs.
“It has all been virtual and CAD and the first prototype is actually the first car. There was no 1:1; no clay. We did a quarter-scale model just to verify it in the wind tunnel, but that’s all. It allowed us to reduce production times tremendously,” said Fitzgerald.

The colour of your pictures (the Lamborghini) is a bit off. -

But i HAVE to edit with Fireworks..because if I don't, the pictures I got was freaking big..resolution averaging about '3141 x 2159'..
But one thing good about BIG resolution..after shrinking it, the picture quality is very very good.. -
very nice...this is going to be much expensive than the Zonda F..
how many of it will be built??? -
i always have this question in my mind.
for these super cars hor, during traffic jam hor, when you try to close the gap infront, you step lightly on the accelerator, will the car shoot up and buang the car infront?
