Pagani News Thread

I'm confused (and this is a little off-topic). Transversly mounted mid-engines are very rare. A notable example of which would be the Lamborghini Miura.

In any car the gearbox is positioned in line with the crankshaft. If the engine is mounted transversly then the gearbox position is similarly transverse i.e. lying in line with the crankshaft / flywheel of the engine. So, just like in a front-wheel drive car, such an engine would be mounted sideways with its crankshaft at 90 degrees to the length of the car.

The Pagani Zonda, in every iteration has a midmounted longitudinally positioned engine with the transmission running in line with the crankshaft behind the flywheel.

So, if you've got a pic of the CLK-GTR's engine bay then we'll be able to tell how the engine and transmission are mounted.

as requested..its the best shot i could find.. it sucks though..hope you can tell

Thanks Artist... this picture is fine. Clearly the engine and transmission are mounted longitudinally - highly typical of the mid-engined layout.

Well, I am sure I am not the only one who spotted the $3 million price tag . I asked the taxi driver what happens after 10 year when you have to "dispose" it, and he just lifted his shoulder up... BTW, i also attached the article that goes with it. I hope people don't mind.

Coincidentally, I went to their showroom last Saturday after reading that article.

After 10 years, you don't need to dispose the car, you just buy another licence for the car that extends its lifespan for another 10 years. It's called the Certificate of Entitlement and it makes your car road legal. There are also 5 year COEs that people can buy. So it's not as bad as it seems hazza79. About 6 Zondas have found homes in Singapore, and there's at least one Zonda F.

Anyone knows who's the Hungarian Motorcycle Specialist who built that Pagani motorcycle? Looks like a Harley Davidson Electra Glide... Anyone can give me the link?
Your help is appreciated.

He will.
And also my friend Lelio (ZX6R on Supercarfrance) will go there, using my camera: i will borrow it to him because his one is broken.
Unfortunately i won't be there, but at least, a piece of me will be

And i will have other ways to enjoy me: next weekend, the Ferrari 60 Relay will be here in Rome for an epic event... And, wait 'till the end of june...

It's an event which Mr. Pagani started a few years ago to bring various Zonda owners together. It's essentially a Pagani owners meeting.

For pics from this year's Vanishing Point, go to Swiss car sightings - 1600 x 1200 high-res pictures, Wallpapers - Updated: June 06 .
My good friend Matteo was there when the first 13 cars arrived.

There's also a red Zonda F, black interiors, titanium wheels and british plate numbers: and it might sound strange, but it's LHD.
Should be #16 of 25, but i am not quite sure...

So... The Vanishing Point 2007 is almost over.
Great day for everyone: company, owners, Pagani lovers that were there...

Being stuck at home is not the best thing for me... But I will have other chances in the future...

 

[LaArtist]

^can pagani lovers also join..i thought it was only for VIP´s and owners..

 

[Centurion]

Not a big news but I saw the Zonda in a British TV-series a few days ago. First time I see the Zonda in film production.
