Lewis Hamilton has reportedly parted ways with his one-off Pagani Zonda 760LH.
While there are roughly two dozen ‘760’ variants of the Zonda out there, Hamilton’s was just the second in the series ever built and is one of just a handful that was built from the ground-up, rather than being a lesser variant that was later upgraded into a 760.

The seven-time Formula 1 World Champion had owned the car for seven years and kept it in Monaco. It is understood that after the car was sold, allegedly with less than 1,000 km (~620 miles) on the clock, it was imported into the UK and currently resides in the North West.
Hamilton was spotted driving the car on a host of occasions in Monaco and in 2015, he was involved in a low-speed crash in the car but swiftly had it repaired.
Powering the 760LH is a 7.3-liter naturally aspirated AMG V12 engine pumping out 750 hp and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque. Unlike most other 760 series models, the 760LH has a six-speed manual transmission that sends power exclusively through the rear wheels, whereas most others have automated manuals with paddle shifters. A few years ago, Hamilton said the Zonda was “terrible to drive,” asserting that it was the “best-sounding car” in his collection “but handling-wise it’s the worst.”
It is understood that Hamilton paid around $1.5 million (~ $2 million) for the custom Zonda. While that was a lot back in 2014, prices of one-off Zondas have skyrocketed in recent years and he likely sold it for a hefty premium.
