Yes, Pagani Has Actually Made Yet Another One-Off Zonda
I’ve been trying to think of things which are more resilient than the life-span of the Pagani Zonda. Madonna’s singing career comes to mind, or maybe that residue that gets stuck to the bottom of your cereal bowl after you’ve had Weetabix. You see, the Zonda has been around in one form or another for 17 years now, and was actually replaced four years ago by the Huayra. But even after Zonda production officially ended, we’ve had a steady stream of one-off specials. And now there’s another one: the Zonda MD.
Still, unlike Madonna’s singing career or those Weetabix leftovers that frequently blight your crockery, few will complain about the Zonda sticking around, and besides - with the Huayra’s 100-unit run sold out, commissioning a one-off Zonda seems like a decent way to get hold of a Pagani, assuming you’re rich enough. What’s more, this new ‘MD’ model looks particularly stunning.
The carbonfibre body is barely covered by a thin layer of blue paint, showing off all the glorious weaves underneath. It looks similar to the Zonda 760 thanks to its roof scoop and massive rear wing, and us running the same 7.3-litre AMG-sourced V12, kicking out 750bhp assuming there are no internal changes.
Other than that, and the fact the ‘MD’ name comes from the owner’s initials (it’s nothing doctor-related, in case you were wondering), details are rather thin on the ground. We’ve no idea exactly how much it cost to commission, but what we’re looking at here is almost certainly several million dollars worth of car.
So, if you have lots and lots of money, make sure you give Horatio Pagani a call - clearly he’s still willing to knock together a Zonda or two. For us normal folk, we’ll have to remain content with just guessing how many more of these one-off Zondas there’ll be.
Place your bets…

Maybe they were clearing out their loft and found another couple of zonda shells…
Mr. Pagani never said the Zonda was dead
So there’s pagani continuing to make there first car, and I’m still waiting for the lancer to return from the dead
Imo Zonda is better than Huayra anyways so yea, more the merrier :)
yea same, huayra has a ghastly interior imo.
Why won’t you learn, CT! Horacio’s plan all along was to have the Huayra as a separate model to the Zonda, and have both in production at the same time!! Christ
True
Another one.
I wonder if you can call it special if it is a one off….I mean there are so many one offs right now for me it’s just a normal zonda with some minor changes. It’s like picking your Audi with the sports pack or without :D
And look at McLaren MSO. Not everyone calls their special operations McLaren a one off.
Me calling pagani “Hello, I’d like a zonda made for me.” “Yes, we can arrange that for you, what would you like it to be?” Me: “Metallic blue, with black and white detailing, oh, and I would like the Zonda R style body, but street legal” “Okay Sir, Your car will set you back 5 million dollars”
Me:
Cars these days…Zonda A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K…
Next thing you know we have a Zonda ZZ
