In this video Jeremy Clarkson drives the Pagani Zonda R as part of his DVD collection on Italy’s supercars. For the first time, we get what the Zonda R is all about - as Clarkson says it’s a “pure speed machine”. It’s not designed for racing, although it’s clearly one of the fastest cars on the planet, and it looks more like a pure prototype race car if you took away all the regulations involving race cars. It sounds quite scary, frankly. Compared to the Ferrari 599 GTO, which Clarkson also tried, this has an extra 70 hp and weighs a full 400 kg less. Not for the faint hearted - see what Clarkson has to say about it in the video. The key to the script? Clarkson says: “I asked the guys at Zonda how fast it goes and they said they’ve got no idea…”
