In news that’ll surprise literally nobody, Pagani has reinvented its supernaturally desirable Zonda again and… we are here for it. It does not matter that Pagani has reinvented its supernaturally desirable Zonda many, many times already, because it remains… yeah.
This old-but-now-new-again Zonda is called the ‘Cervino’, and according to its (re)creators “is a complete reimagining of the Zonda based on an existing chassis, meticulously crafted to fulfil the specific dreams of a visionary collector”.
So, it’s a customer car extensively reworked via the ‘Unico’ programme to the tune of an entire new and fully bespoke body, “where every curve and surface has been redesigned to reflect a unique aesthetic narrative”. Pagani says it was inspired by ‘alpine peaks’. TopGear.com says: roof scoop and tasty rear wing.
Elsewhere, this Cervino's been treated to an entirely new suspension setup with new dampers and “top tier” componentry said to “bridge the gap between the Zonda’s analogue soul and modern performance standards”.
We suspect such analogue goodness comes courtesy of a mighty, hearty and magnificently powered V12 (we’re guessing the 7.3-litre naturally aspirated AMG unit?) but Pagani hasn’t confirmed engine size, aspiration, power or torque. We do know it probably… won’t be slow. So there’s that.
It’ll be shown at the upcoming Fuori Concorso alongside its sibling, another equally desirable Zonda C12S 7.0 (below). This reanimated beast has been fully restored as part of Pagani’s ‘Rinascimento’ programme, and we’re told it was the first ever one-off in Pagani’s history.
“Whether through the Rinascimento program, which honours the past, or the Unico program, which pushes the boundaries of the future, the Atelier continues to create masterpieces destined to transcend time,” said Pagani.
