| | | Well its good business for Mr Horacio, since its a private owned small business he has to supply his clientel with bespoke car unlike Ferrari which is a large company owned by Fiat(lots of $) can build cars regardless of the market climate.
We've just come out of recession, so whatever he is doing is working and I hope it grows even better. There isnt a car like the Zonda, maybe Spyker(slower same bespoke level) or Konnegsegg(faster no manual gearbox).
I like Zonda, has the F1 whailing sound is a delicate brand in a mainstream supercar market.

| | | So Pagani is also milking every penny possible from the Zonda before C9 is launched. I must say this car is really amazing, I am not a fan of the color, but the details are simply amazing.
I was told that Pagani started to offer C9 to the customers and showing them the final design and specs of C9. And the demand for Zonda is only growing, strange sign, isn't it?
If I would be in the market I would prefer Zonda with its amazing design and fabulous V12 NA engine to the strange gullwing'ed C9 with heavy V12 TT. With all that said we will be able to compare both of them soon enough. The presentation of C9 will take place at Geneva and I guess we will see more one-off Zondas later.
Anyway, its great that Horacio is building such cars, as Mo said there are so few makers having balls to create such masterpieces.

I didnt like the original C12 when it came out, but with time the progress on the later versions my favourite model is the Zonda F. Lots of nice models, Tricolore, Cinque. I think the Tricolore is perfect as I dont like the colour combination on the Cinque too Lunna Rossa if you know what I mean.
C9 I am going to like it simply because I like gullwing doors and its a nice mercedes tribute to the engine, I think its fitting to a supercar rather than using scissor doors which are very lamborghini and ricey at the same time. Also with every Pagani you get the seats are tailored to your height and its so bespoke you get maching shoes to the cars interior. YouTube - Visit at the Pagani factory - Zonda F & Zonda F Roadster

| | | Got your idea Mo, good points actually. I was in love with Zonda since I saw C12 in flesh years ago. My love just got bigger when F version were launched and I agree Tricolore looks absolutely stunning, I got to seat in this car last Geneva and it was an absolute masterpiece. I am not a big fan of white Cinques, but that Bahraini Yellow Cinque Roadster looks like perfection also, color suits the car so well. Zonda HH, Zonda Uno and this Zonda 750 are both stunning, may be colors are not for everyone, but I just love how Pagani creates those one-offs, not just few changes and new name, but a real one-off, its just stunning.
I am reserving the final judgement about C9 till I will see the car next Geneva. I am with you on Gullwing doors, I just love SLS for that, but they are not working for me on C9, at least on prototypes we all have seen. Same with the engine, I don't want to say anything before official specs, but I am in doubts.
Without that spectacular design and aura which makes Zonda a stand out from the crowd, just exclusivity will not be enough. Again, its hard to imagine how happy I will be if I am wrong and C9 will really be spectacular in all dimensions.

Trust me your going to love it when it stops by the Monte-Carlo Casino with a loud rumble doors open, its going to be so dramatic yet classy and thats what Pagani is all about. My favourite colour is that Candy Apple Red, its so fitting on the Pagani.
