A road legal track car?

We all know those multi-million dollar hypercars that are built for the track only, names like the Pagani Zonda R, the Pagani Zonda Revolucion of which only 5 were ever made, or a McLaren Senna GTR, not to forget the brand new Pagani Huayra R that will be built soon, all of these are amazing hypercars that have been developed to their limits, but to be used on the track only, none of these cars are street-legal, so you can’t enjoy them on the open road … or can you?

There seems to be a loophole for this, take your track-only hypercar to UK based automotive company Lanzante Limited, which offers a road-legal conversion for these cars, so you can register it in the UK and get a UK license plate, and they have done this before, on a McLaren F1 GTR, McLaren P1 GTR, and even a McLaren Senna GTR … and now TopCar Design apparently asked them to convert one of only five Pagani Zonda Revolucion, a list of necessary modifications will be published later.

The 2013 Pagina Zonda Revolucion in question is apparently car #4 of 5, upon completion of this conversion TopCar Design intends to showcase the car around Europe, with the value of a track-only Zonda Revolucion around the €6,000,000 mark, once this one becomes the only street-legal version, her value will be considerably higher.

The Pagani Zonda Revolucion weighs only 1,070 kg, with a 6.0-Liter, AMG V12 engine taken from the Zonda R, with 800 hp and 730 Nm of torque to the rear wheels only, the top speed is said to be around 375 km/h (233 mph) while acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is completed in a mere 2.7 seconds, back in 2013 the MSRP on these 5 cars was €2,200,000 before taxes.

Pagani Is Planning Something Big for Geneva

A New Zonda, or an Homage to it?

The first Pagani Zonda is 20 years old this year. That means you can expect the company to do something special to celebrate its car. According to CarBuzz, the automaker told the publication that there’s something in the works for the Geneva Motor Show that’s less than a month away at this point.

“It will be a big surprise that we know everyone will love,” Communication and PR Manager Giulia Roncarati told the publication. “But right now we’re keeping it a secret.” That’s confirmation that something will appear. However, what exactly will appear at the show will only come with time.

This cryptic statement from Roncarati has people coming up with guesses. CarBuzz says that it could be a final version of the Zonda. That would be interesting due to the fact that Pagani didn’t seem interested in making more of the cars. Despite this, some special clients have been able to convince the automaker to make special ones.

The surprise could also be a special showcase of all the Zonda variations ever produced. That would be a cool way of paying homage to the car that debuted 20 years ago. We think a special 20th-anniversary edition of the car would be appropriate, and not just a final edition like CarBuzz suggests. However, the chances of that happening are very slim.

We’ll keep an eye out for whatever Pagani debuts at the show. Hopefully, it will exceed all expectations and be something that nobody has even thought of yet.
