Pagani Zonda 760 'Attack' (2007)

In 2012, Pagani introduced an all-new supercar, the twin-turbocharged Huayra, and following its launch, Zonda production was ‘officially’ drawn to a close. Having debuted in 1999, the Zonda saw many guises throughout its life and has since been regarded amongst the greatest supercars to have ever been produced.

Born from an individual client’s special request to develop a car with a more extreme character, and refusing to take no for an answer, Pagani set about developing the naturally aspirated 7.3-litre AMG V12 as a road compliant version of the track-only Zonda R.

Power was raised to 760 PS, and the enhanced unit found itself mounted to an entirely bespoke – ‘new’ – Zonda: the 760 RS. Seemingly an amalgamation of the Zonda’s ‘greatest hits’ – the RS debuted with aggressive stylistic elements and dramatic aerodynamic features, seemingly borrowed from the illustrious back catalogue of previous Zonda variants.

The unveiling of the new car sparked serious interest amongst prospective clients, and a further three 760 coupes were completed and just one 760 Roadster. These incredibly bespoke and personal creations marked the uppermost tier of Zonda specification, above that of Cinque and Tricolore; having even attracted the likes of Formula One World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, who commissioned the beguiling purple Zonda 760 ‘LH’ in 2013.

Since then, the factory has seen an influx of existing Zonda chassis return to be upgraded subject to owners’ specific requests.

A one-off evolution, the Attack is based on a Zonda F Prototype chassis (PT2) completed in 2007 and upgraded to 760 specification over a multi-year period concluding in 2023. The conversion retains the original F chassis, undamaged and thought to be unique in this regard. The Attack is, in essence, the realisation of a vision that incorporates a breadth of mechanical and cosmetic elements celebrating each of the preceding Zonda iterations.

That majority of the bodywork remains unpainted, demonstrating what Pagani is best known for and arguably industry leading visual carbon fibre. As per the owner’s request, the colour-split livery replicates that of the beloved Zonda Cinque, paired with an entirely bespoke shade of grey; Grigio Knockhill metallic. Along with the livery, the Cinque provides further inspiration in the form of lower aerodynamic elements. The Attack’s front-splitter, side-sills, side-skirts and rear diffuser are built to Cinque-specification, and therefore not only serve functionally, but also complete the car’s overall aesthetic.

The 760 platform, was born as a result of the multitude of requests Pagani received to build a road compliant variant of the track-only Zonda R. The Zonda Attack pays a subtle attribute to this, having been specified with Zonda R style taillights.

The engine was split from the car and returned to AMG for a complete rebuild. Aside from the Cinque-specification exhuast and radiator funnel, the Zonda Attack is otherwise wholly mechanically completed to 760-specification, utilising the uprated 7.3-litre AMG V12 – with an output of 760 PS – mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with centrally locked magnesium wheels housing carbon-ceramic brakes.

Exuding raw, uncompromising energy, the idea for the Zonda Attack formulated from the desire to construct a one-off Zonda that offered an unparalleled, analogue driving experience. The car is available to view now at our showrooms, just outside of London.
