Our dear friend and partner Shmee150 filmed the pink Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 Roadster that was recently been sold via a Bonhams Auction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2011. You can see some shots of the car before watching the auction unfold.
Originally manufactured as a right-hand drive C12 S Roadster, this particular Zonda was sent back to the factory in 2008 for an overhaul and upgrading to ‘F’ high-performance specification. Carried out between June and September that year, this work included a complete overhaul of the 7.3 liter engine, which now produces a staggering 602bhp at 6,150rpm and 560lb/ft of torque at only 4,000rpm.
At the same time the car was repainted from yellow to its current ‘Elvis Presley Cadillac Pink’ livery, while other noteworthy features include a new leather dashboard, carbon fiber engine cover and rear diffuser, new ‘F’-type exhaust system and an upgraded ECU. In this specification the Zonda is claimed to accelerate from a standstill to 60mph in only 3.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 214mph. Of equal importance is the braking capability, the stop from 120mph being achievable in a mere 4.4 seconds courtesy of Brembo’s best.
The car sold for a hammer price of £ 290,000 which on the assumption it remained in the UK with VAT would make for a total of £ 390,000 after all costs involved.
Saw this car in Singapore many times at owners garage. It was yellow and then elvis pink. Will miss this car. Have many pixtures of it.
