Here are some shocking top speed test results - one guy who has very good relations at Pagani factory told that C9 reached 411 km/h top speed during test in 40 degrees heat, Pagani stuff was more than happy with the result. From what I have heard top speed of production versions will be about 380 km/h. Pagani proved one more time - power-to-weight ratio is way to success in the supercars world.

Here are new spy shots of camouflaged C9 mule refueling near Kalahari desert in South Africa I have found:











Note Bentley Conti GT test mule in the background with same highspeed test stickers

 

Amazing! Love the " government approved highspeed testing vehicules" ^^

 

Awesome post. Any idea when these pictures were shot?

Hopefully Mike will have some info when he returns from his factory visit.

 

great find!

although it looks like just a more rounded Zonda F, but nothing wrong with that. I just thought it was supposed to get a total redesign. (or am I thinking of something else, somebody help me out here)

 

^ That's a mule body for sure.

411KPH = 255MPH. Yikes!

 

Pics were taken in SA near Kalahari desert, I have mentioned it in my first post. Yes, it is only a mule to hide all style clues of C9 before the launch. Production version of C9 will look absolutely different, but with clear Pagani DNA.

 

I drove past that same car a couple months ago

 

I want a "government approved highspeed testing vehicle" sticker for the back of my car!

 

me too!

 

255mph?!?! Ummmm isn't that > bugatti top speed? Can't wait to see what the production version will look/sound like.
