The annual Pagani Raduno event was recently held in Italy, and at the end of the roadtrip through Sardinia, which was exclusive to Pagani owners, the Italian exotics hit the Monza circuit for a private track day.
It is no secret that limited-edition and one-off Zonda and Huayra models are among the most expensive modern cars on Earth, but despite this, many owners took their vehicles out onto the famous Formula One racetrack to see what they were made of.
Arguably the two highlights were a pair of Zonda Revolucions. They may share many similarities with road-going Paganis, but feature crazy aerodynamics and screaming 7.3-liter, naturally aspirated V12s not restrained by road-legal rules that, when roaring down the racetrack’s main straight, made current Formula 1 cars seem like Priuses.
