Interview Reveals Pagani Zonda Successor Due In Late 2010

Successors to the current line-up of Zonda’s have been discussed before, but not to the extent as mentioned below. During an interview with Argentina Autoblog, Horacio Pagani shed some light on the release of the ‘C9? at the end of this year.

The supercar is all-new and contains 3770 new components. The chassis is made of carbon-titanium, there’s a new undercarriage and one-of-a-kind Pirelli tyres. The vehicle will use an AMG sourced 6,0-litre V12 bi-turbo engine producing up to 515 kW and 1000 N.m of torque.

The Pagani C9 conforms to all emissions laws, including those in the States. Its design is completely different to that of the current Pagani Zonda, despite being from the same family. The looks of the car are said to be inspired by modern aeroplanes.

The new C9 is expected to be produced in far greater numbers than its predecessor. Fourty cars will be produced and sold annually worldwide, for a price of around €900 000 – before taxes.

To make sure that the production of the vehicle stays in-house, Pagani is preparing to open a brand new factory. The new facility in Modena, Italy, will be three times larger than the existing factory and will start its operation after the new C9 is introduced at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
