Description

The Pagani Zonda C12 is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani, and is the first ever Zonda model to be produced. It debuted at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. By 2019, a total of 140 Zondas had been built, including test bed versions called "development mules." The Zonda lineup was eventually sunset, with the final Barchetta model marking the end of Zonda production in favour for the production of the Huayra.

The Zonda was originally planned to be named the "Fangio F1" as a homage to Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio. However, it was ultimately decided to be named something else, following Juan Manuel Fangio's death in 1995, out of respect. It was then named "Zonda," after the Zonda wind; a hot air current above Argentina.

In-game Information

Since the C12's reprisal, it has gained a tremendous increase in price due to being locked behind the Pagani collection. The performance of the car does not outweigh the immense cost of needing to purchase 6 different Zondas, including both Barchettas.

The C12 is best suited for those wanting to collect cars, and should not be prioritized as a farming car.
