Not to be confused with: C12 (6,0 L, ~394–402 hp, 5 units) — the original Zonda C12-S 7.3 (7 291 cc, 555 hp) and Zonda F / F Clubsport (7,3 L, 602/650 hp), Cinque (678 hp), Zonda Roadster (convertible), Zonda R / Revolución (track, 6,0 L, 750/800 hp, not road-legal) → the « 7.0 » is indeed the C12-S 7 010 cc (to be distinguished from the 7,3 L)
Collectability & valuation
- Rarity
- 15 units (coupé 7.0) → exceptionally rare; Pagani craftsmanship, bespoke specification
- Desirability
- first major evolution of the Zonda, naturally aspirated AMG V12, exceptional carbon finish; provenance, original specification and low mileage are determining factors; very high values
- Points of attention
- ultra-specialist and costly Pagani/AMG servicing, parts availability, authenticity (numerous Zondas modified/updated by the factory); full documented history essential
- Valuation
- on request (price bracket + comparables + sources + date — very narrow market)
