^ That specific Zonda isn't illegally in the States

The owner's primary business is in the electronics field and he has a separate company working on electric vehicle technologies. With that company he was able to establish it as a vehicle manufacturer getting all the proper credentials and such. Using that status, he's able to import any vehicle for testing purposes just the way all the major manufacturers do it. He wouldn't be able to sell the car, and I am sure there are some limitations, but it seems to have worked just fine for him for many years.

There are also other ways to drive the Zonda legally in the States. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

 

^ That specific Zonda isn't illegally in the States

I know, I was saying that you can't just import a Zonda and drive it around...unfortunately

I'm sure there are loopholes and the grey market/kit car method proves to be effective, but the average Joe can't just haul one in and drive it around without being "killed" by the ICE.

 

You guys dont know what you are talking about. I use my Zonda as my daily driver! I put 15k miles on it last year!!:laugh:

 

Why are the Zondas illegal? is it something to do with passing DOT regulations?

 

Isn't the new one going to be coming stateside?

 

Yes the Huayra will be sold in the US!

 

That Zonda has MFG plates but can only be driven a certain amout of miles if I remember correctly. For the owners other car collection check out garage of the month February Edition

Maximum of 2500 miles a year I think it is.

 

^^BTW he has two Zondas.. One will be in the link that I just posted above.

 

 

I've always liked the car but hated the color.

 

As aimee said you can have it here but under certain rules. They will only allow you to drive it to shows and events and back from my understanding. I met with Mr. Horacio Pagani during his last visit and through a translator we had a conversation and their intent is to bring this beauty to the U.S. hopefully asap.

 

^^^Let's not forget how that visit happened^^

 

:bow:

 

from what i understood, it never completed dot testing.

 

Wyclef Jean has had one in the US for years. Not sure how he did it though.

Sucks to re-post myself, but well, I've answered some of the questions on the how/why/where/who about the Zonda over here:

I saw this up at the 11-99 run.

 

there is no mileage stipulation on MFG plates, you just have to be able to justify the miles you drive.

 

there is/was another zonda here in south florida. I havent seen it in years. It is a burnt Orange exterior. I have pics of it somewhere ill have to look for it. I saw the car a few times at a local shop here called prototech.

 

That was Wyclef Jeans car. Later sold to Dan Kennedy and currently on the West Coast.

 

^currently for sale. rght now there are 2 zonda's in the USA for sale. his red one and a silver one in NY
