    Default Zonda R - The New Nurburg record holder

    A Pagani Zonda R has this morning set a new Nurburgring Nordschleife lap record, completing the 13-mile circuit in 6mins 47secs.

    The previous record for a 'road-based car' was 6mins 58secs, set as recently as April by the Ferrari 599XX.

    With just fifteen examples of the 1.5 million-euro track car being built, the Zonda R is one of the most extreme and exclusive Italian supercars ever. It weighs just 1070kg, and its 6.0-litre competition-derived V12 develops 740bhp and 524lb ft of torque.

    That's enough to propel it to 62mph in less than 2.7secs and on to 218mph. And a very quick Nurburgring time...

    Any video of the run? Ferrari did a nice job posting the 599XX video.

    I looked but couldn't find any videos... just news reports. Perhaps it's too soon, I'll check back tomorrow.

    As much as I LOVE the Zonda, you have to hand it to Ferrari for not being THAT far behind. The Zonda is bonkers when you look at it compared to the 599 IMO.
