Further to this, Pagani can also claim to be faster than the Ferrari 599XX which set a time 11 seconds slower than the Zonda R just last month.

The Zonda R features a 6.0 liter V12 developing 739bhp and 524lb-ft of torque in a shell weighing just 1,070kg. 0-100km/h (62mph) is possible in just under three seconds with top speed approaching 230mph. Watch the videos for confirmation…
