Pagani Zonda 760 Nonno Ride Will Make You Say Wow – It Has 1.1 Million Km on the Odo!

When someone offers you the opportunity to take the passenger seat or even better, get behind the wheel of any Pagani, be that the older Zonda or the newer Huayra, you should grab it like there's no tomorrow. No need to explain why.

This time, the lucky chap who was able to jump inside a Pagani is Tim, a young British YouTube director of supercar videos that we've come to know under the nickname Shmee150. Even though Tim owns and drives a cool looking Audi R8 V10 Spyder, he admits the Italian exotic is in another league.

EVO Puts Bugatti Veyron GS Vitesse Up Against Pagani Huayra

The latest video from EVO Magazine is not about exact horsepower numbers, or zero to sixty times, as their latest drive is all about how one feels driving two hypercars in the south of France.

The first contender is the classic hypercar choice, the Bugatti Veyron, in Grand Sport Vitesse guise, and it is driven alongside the first right-hand drive Pagani Huayra, which has just reached its first UK customer.

Pagani Readies First Zonda R Evolution for Customer Delivery

Pagani might not produce many models – in fact, the Modena-based carmaker has only built two supercars since its inception in the early 1990s, the Zonda and more recently, the Huayra, but it sure has many different editions and versions of each car, especially of the former that has been around longer.

One of the last special editions of the Zonda is the R Evolution model based on the non-road homologated Zonda R, which was first shown to the public during the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed where it took part in the famed Goodwood hillclimb race

If you had the opportunity to have a Pagani Huayra in your possession for a few weeks, what would you do with the Italian supercar?

We could be mistaken, but we're going to guess the answer to this theoretical question is a lot of things that have to do with speed and which, would no doubt, get you in deep trouble, but that's not why we're sharing this video – though, feel free to entertain us with your answers below, if you feel like it.

Top Gear Returns for 19th Season, Pagani Huayra Smashes Ariel Atom V8 Lap Record

Some say that it’s getting a bit old inserting the “some say” joke in Top Gear stories, so we’ll just get down to business. As you may probably have heard, the world’s most (in)famous TV car show is back for its 19th season.

Even though the three hosts teased us about what was about to come, and after watching them for so long, we’ve come to expect almost everything, the season premiere that aired on Sunday, 27 January on UK’s BBC Two managed to throw quite a surprise.

Pagani Huayra Roadster Design Concept Begs the Rhetorical Question, Should it be Built?

As a new and standalone company in the exotic and exclusive world of supercars, Pagani Automobili moves at a different tempo than other makers in this segment like Ferrari, which is supported by the Fiat Group, and Bugatti that lives under the umbrella of the almighty Volkswagen Group.

Since its inception in 1992, the Modena-based carmaker has introduced only two models; the Zonda and its derivatives in 1999, and its replacement, the still hard to pronounce, Huayra in 2011.

Evo Performance Car of the Year 2012: The Track Battle Video

When the year draws to its end, one thing you can be sure of is that you’ll be hearing, reading and watching a lot of “Car of the Year” memos. At some point, it really gets too much because everyone and their aunt think that they should crown a COTY.

It’s a free world, or most of it at least since there’s no North Korean COTY as far as we know, so everyone’s entitled to his/her opinion.

Even though the image below may look like it’s straight out of a D1 drift challenge, it’s actually a still from Evo magazine’s 2012 performance car of the year competition, or eCOTY as they call it.

The British publication rounded up the 10 best driver’s car that it has sampled in the past 12 months and it’s a pretty idiosyncratic bunch, ranging from the Morgan 3 Wheeler to the mighty Pagani Huayra.

Purple Carbon Pagani Huayra with Gold Rims Won't go by Unnoticed

It’s safe to say that nine of out 10 people will get the Pagani Huayra's name wrong (include us in that group), but few if any will mistake it for anything else on the road today.

Pagani Zonda and Subaru BRZ to Star in "Fast and Furious 6", New Videos from Film Sets

Not that we weren't expecting at least one of the sports coupe models that came out of the relationship between the Toyota group and Subaru to feature in the sixth chapter of the Fast and Furious franchise, but U.S. magazine Motor Trend says it has learned that the car will be the Subaru BRZ.

In particular, the publication says Subaru has reportedly supplied as many as five BRZ's for the "Fast and the Furious 6" film that is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

In related news, we looked around and found a handful of videos from the London filming set as well as a scene of a bridge being blown up while the "Fast 6" crew was shooting in Tenerife, the largest and most populous of the seven Canary Islands.

There's also a picture of a full carbon fiber-bodied Pagani Zonda that was released by the Fast and Furious crew.

Pagani Zonda Replica is Based on a Porsche and has a Real Mercedes-Benz V12 Engine with 600-Ponnies

It may look like a Pagani (to the untrained eye, at least), and according to the eBay seller, sound like one too, but what you see in these images is a replica of the famed Italian supercar.

The builder of the Pagani Zonda clone says the car is based on a Porsche chassis (we are not told which one) and just like the original model, it is powered by a Mercedes-Benz V12 engine, which in this case, is said to deliver 600-horses towards the rear axle via a Porsche-sourced 6-speed manual transmission.

Journo Takes a Pagani Huayra for a Tire-Burning Spin on a Twisty Road

Not that we need an excuse to show you another video of Horacio Pagani's V12-powered monster, but truth to be said, it's not often that you see a very, very expensive and exotic supercar like the Huayra being thrashed around a public road by someone other than its owner or if it's a press car, a company test driver.

In this case, said driver happened to be a Greek journalist from Drive Magazine who had the rather unique opportunity of jumping behind the wheel of the $1.4 million Huayra without having someone (as in a company official) taking the passenger seat to observe him.

Huayra! Watch Pagani's Chief Test Driver in Some Rocking Action

If there is one person in the world you would like to take you out for a spin in the new Huayra, or any other Pagani model for that matter, it's Davide Testi, the Italian firm's official test driver who has racked up more miles in the car than anyone else has.

A one John Jack had the privilege of seeing Testi manhandling [sic] the exotic supercar from the relative comfort of the passenger seat during a trip in Italy and was also kind enough to share the experience with the rest of us through a video that you can enjoy right past the break.

The Uninspiring Silence of an Audi R8 e-Tron vs The Screaming Sounds of a Pagani Zonda R at the 'Ring

Call us old fashion, but we believe that a sports car has to arouse all your senses with its acceleration, speed, handling, looks and of course, sounds.

The Audi R8 is by all means a sharp looking and handling automobile that will likely be fast even in e-tron guise, which is Audi talk for its pure-electric powertrain that uses two electric motors on each axle.

Larger-Than-Life Pagani Meeting with Eleven Zondas and One Huayra

With only a handful of Pagani cars being hand built every year since the founding of the company in the 1990s, any meeting of two or more models of the Modena-based automaker is something worth talking about.

Now, seeing eleven Pagani Zondas and one Huayra gather at the same place at the same time is nothing less of extraordinary.

Do we need to say more to convince you to hop over the break to watch the two videos from the Pagani owners meet in Italy?
