This week i have brought you guys a whole bunch of entertainment with the review of amazing car made by... my GOODNESS! An Italian supercar creator, Pagani.
Here is the beauty!
Pagani created this amazing piece of machinery, the mighty Pagani Zonda F Roadster.
I have been in a lot of supercars and have never experienced anything like driving the new Pagani Zonda F Roadster... this car makes you feel like crazy!!!
The rarity of "Pagani Zonda F Roadster" just adds something to it's charisma, and that "something" is what makes you feel that you are in a ride that was made in the heavens. Just 25 of these machines have been built uptil now! By heavens i do not mean by comfort, but the sheer power that surges from the engine once you bury that right most paddle to the floor!
No doubt, the designers of the car, rather supercar, did pay a lot of attention to the comfort of the "pilot", but even then it is far short of the comfort offered by the Beemers and Mercs.
The engine is a 7.3L Mercedes-Benz V12, with 600+ bhp ready to be unloaded, and delivered to the road.
The only thing that I didnt like about this car was that you cannot get a feel of luxury when you are paying a heavy amount of cash to the manufacturer. It's not like that it feels uncomfortable, but you don't get that feel that you do in a Ferrari of a Lambo.
The acceleration is also one of the quickest, i.e 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.
Though to be honest, when the engine kicks for the red line the shove is so shocking that you’re not paying much attention to the sound it’s making. Thank heavens the F’s carbon-ceramic brakes are simply sensational, as good as any I’ve tried, the lack of mass probably helping here too.
Its not just the brakes that stop the car... it is the downward force that is provided by the spoiler, to increase the traction on the road, and to provide more friction while running at slow speeds, and this one is not for show!!
The whole carbon fiber body construction make Pagani Zonda F Roadster even lighter, thus translating the power surge from the engine to sheer speed... and in supercar bizz, power means you have the might to eat every other car on the track for the lunch!
After all, the Pagani Zonda F Roadster did not disappoint totally, but it did not satisfy us "completely" as it should have. Overall, it performed better than expected on the race track and proved it worth the money!
