Pagani Zonda F and Mercedes-Benz SLR 722

ADVERTISEMENTS

Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition


The supercharged beast that is the SLR 722 Edition is a homage to the victory won by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson at Mille Miglia in 1955.

The car features a supercharged 5.5 liter V-8 Engine That displaces 650 BHP. This engine has several high points to it. The first and perhaps the most notable to the driver is the immediate response to movements of the accelerator. The next is the highly emphatic torque build-up. Finally the unmistakable V-8 sound. This monstrous engine allows the car to be propelled from zero to sixty in just 3.6 seconds, with 124 mph coming just 6.6 seconds later. Eventually it will reach its peak speed of 209 mph, up 2 mph from the previous peak speed of the old SLR

The Handling Characteristics worthy of the racetrack are also provided by the sophisticated suspension. The car features 19 inch alloy wheels with stiffer damper configuration. It is also .4 inches closer to the ground than the previous model. Larger brakes also ensure excellent braking performance.

There are several discreet visual modifications made to draw the target group of wealthy sports car collectors and enthusiastic drivers. The first thing is a modified front spoiler and air splitter. This is coupled with a rear diffuser, together they improve aero dynamics and contact pressure. The use of clear lacquered carbon as an extremely strong, but still lightweight material that symbolizes the practicality of these technical features. Bucket type sports seats upholstered in leather provide lateral support, while the racing steering wheel, gearshift paddles, and black carbon highlights lend a thoroughbred racing touch to the interior.

Pagani Zonda F


The Pagani Zonda F is one of the fastest supercars ever made. It was built using Pagani's extensive experience in carbon fibre construction. With this car, Pagani is among a small group of independent supercar manufacturers that challenge more established competition such as Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini.
The Zonda F is a special edition car that will be built alongside the regular production model. It takes modifications adapted to the C12-S Monza and refines them into a more appealing package. This makes the Zonda F lighter, more powerful, and faster.
Aerodynamics play large role in shaping the new Zonda. More traditional devices include a one piece fixed wing. To help airflow underneath, a larger front splitter and rear diffuser with twin stabilizing wings create even more downforce. Finally at the front is a much larger Air intake to increase cooling effectiveness of the more potent V-12.
The highest model features a huge 650 BHP which allows the car to easily rival cars including the Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari Enzo.
