Looks like the batmobile to me. Too gaudy for my taste.

Betch though it would whip most anything out there...

Would much rather have the Ferrari Superamerica...

Ferrari superamerica is like a toyota camry compared to this thing.

THe interior, which is what I assume you think is to gaudy, is totally customizable. My, it would be all black with aluminum trim.

Didn't know that... but I wouldn't hack on the Superamerica with 600 HP (not sure but this number sticks in my head) and paddle F1 transmission (that I am sure of). Plus the automatic top up/down system is cool :D

But then I don't have 1/2 million to spend (the Superamerica is almost 400K) not sure what the other hot rod costs...

I saw that car on Top gear. They loved it. Especially the convertible edition. 0-60 in something like 3.2

It's one of those "if you have to ask...." cars.

Superamerica only has 540 Hp (65 less), and weighs a good 1000 lbs more than the Zonda F.

I prefer the Zonda driven on Top Gear. All the carbon fiber styling on this one makes it look far too ostentatious.

I think, at least this was true last I heard, that there is only one Zonda in the United States right now. And it's owned by no other than Wyclef Jean...

Such a sweet car thanks for sharing!!!

I'm not a huge fan of most Zonda's but this one is pretty sweet. 605 horsepower in a nice light car like that is pretty insane. Is this car in Gran Turismo 4? If so I'll have to give it a ride this weekend. :D

I think they have it, GT3 did. I doubt it's the F though.

So if there is ONE Zonda... what's the point of getting it here. The DOT and EPA wouldn't probably allow it on the road (USA laws are stupid sometimes) untill you wreck a few of them and then put the right emmisions.

The one that is supposedly in the US is probably here on a temporary visit anyway.

Sorry, rather that Superamerica. The ZONDA may be SWEET (I don't doubt that at all) but

"You can't always get what you want"...

I can still aspire to purchase a Ferrari though... Plan to be rich yknow...

as far as I know, if a manufacturer builds or sells less than 500 (?) vehicles of a particular model then it is exempt from EPA regs. I think I just read it in Motortrend (last month's edition).

Don't they still have to crash a few though???

If so, perhaps a zonda could be in my sights ... When I win the MegaMillions

That's a terrible name for such a hot car. "Zonda"

Could have been a little more creative.
