GT5 2009 Pagani Zonda R

What a car today - the 2009 Pagani Zonda R in my GT5 pictures.

Pictured here at the GT photo travel location called Ahrweiler - Street, somewhere in Germany, I believe.

Zonda is actually the name of an Argentinian pampas wind which is apparently fast.

Inspired by fighter-plane materials technology, Pagani set out some decades ago to build exclusive cars out of carbon-fibre composite.

Way I (don't) understand it, this 2009 Pagani Zonda R is based on the 2007 Pagani Zonda track car. There was a very limited road car version based on the same called the Pagani Zonda Cinque, only five units. But the Zonda marque was first started at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show.

This is not just carbon fiber but carbon-titanium fiber.
