Pagani Zonda F with AMG-Sourced 12 MPH on The Autobahn

Pagani Zonda F with AMG-Sourced 12 MPH on The Autobahn

The V12 music is amazing.

The German Autobahn allows any vehicle to choose its own cruising speed. Many types of vehicles can reach or exceed their top speeds regardless of their performance. It’s not often that a Pagani Zonda, an uncommon hypercar, makes it onto the famous road. This video is from Shmee150.

The Zonda F, one of only 25 worldwide, was the most extensive rework of Pagani’s original model at the time. It still featured the naturally-aspirated 7.3-liter V12 motor. Pagani purchased it from AMG. He made improvements to the F, which allowed it to produce 594 horsepower (443 Kilowatts) as well as 561 pound-feet (761 Newton-meters). It is paired with a six speed manual gearbox.

Shmee150 takes his change behind the wheel. Traffic keeps him moving at a reasonable speed, but it doesn’t take long before the road clears and his right foot starts to feel heavy on the throttle. The blurred footage of slow traffic on the left is not the highlight, but the soundtrack is. The camera picks up most of the exhaust’s loud pops and burbles. This is something that very few people will ever experience.

Shmee does several pulls in the Pagani, tiptoeing around the 200-miles-per-hour (321-kilometers-per-hour) mark during several of them. Shmee also gives his commentary behind-the wheel about driving such an expensive and rare car. He also explains how hard it is to do so. When it arrived in 1999, the Pagani Zonda looked alien. The Zonda F made it even more alien. Although the company has made only two models, there have been several variations and special editions. However, it is still exciting to see its supercars on the road. These rare cars still look like works of art and are rare.
