I wouldn't say it's beautiful, but it sure looks affective for what it's built for.
Looks a bit between a Le Mans prototype and a Honda NSX GT500 racer.

I'd be afraid to drive it. I can't imagine how sick I'd feel if I scratched that, or how much the fix would cost!
Bad ass car though.

Amazing how something can be hideous and beautiful at the same time.

But Pagani has the same problem as before - they design all these cars, but then dont build any.
I know of at least 3 US buyers (2 in Housotn) who are sitting waiting for Pagani and Koeniggsegg to actually build cars for the buying public - but sadly they are not.
The few cras you see around the world ar ethe same 10 or so being sold second hand over and over again.
If I am not mistaken they only made 1 Zonda S.
Great design, great idea, but piss poor business model.

Then that must of happened in the last 12 months, as the "US Dealer" couldnt even predict build lead times for any Zondas last June - even for purchase in Europe - and the one gent I know wanted to buy one of each.
Wiki also thinks other wise:

Well, the 80 cars were produced on quite a regular basis since the first C12 was launched. i think production is slightly quicker now, but well, considering the high supercars demand these days, it's obvious Pagani will never be able to fight with the 5'000 cars Ferrari can throw at us in a year.
that makes their beauty aswell.. and their desirability. The real troubles are for the likes of Spyker that really struggled to produce more than a few cars I fear...

Yes - Spyker is another one that is losing out - there a few US buyers who have sadly stillnot got in line for cars - theyhave money - Spyker just needs to make them cars.
