Default Jeremy Clarkson Drives the Zonda R - Top Gear



Pagani Zonda R - Driven by Jeremy Clarkson


"Ohhhhh.......I have soiled myself... badly. I've never, EVER driven anything quite like this... never." --Jeremy Clarkson while driving the Zonda 'R', mere seconds after he starts his lap session.

Before the gravity of that statement strikes you, I guess you just to have to think about who Jeremy is, how many cars he's driven, and how much experience he has behind the wheel of the baddest production cars in the world (well, that... and forget the fact that he has a show to sell). Take those things into account, and the above statement really speaks of the nature of this car.

In summary:

This car is nuts.

Awesome, I'd love to drive one one day but that probably won't ever happen.

Ooooo...the noises that thing makes...

Here's the full lap around the ring. Man that looks fun...

I like how he tightens the straps during the high speed run. Almost like "ok here we go" haha.

Not a car designed for racing?? Lmao...

Thats all it is, a racecar.


That being said it doesnt do much for me. Just looks like a LeManns car with interior pieces.....

Awesome. He actually looks scared when he first opens it up.

If I was the rich type, spending 1+million on a single car, I gotta say...Zonda R > Veyron.

And yes I know they are completely different cars. Comparison on price point only.

I wasnt trying to downplay the engineering behind the car, a blind man can appreciate that.

I thought Jeremys statement, "Its not designed to race in any specific class, and it doesnt meet DOT requirements for a road car..." was a little hilarious, thats all.

So what the hell is it?? Its not even a car...lol.

I like LeManns cars (aka racecars), this just looks like any other to me, aside from the fancy CF & interior pieces...nothing special.
