Thinking hard to pick up an older(1999-2001) Zonda C12s from Europe.


And before anybody thinks they are a "smarty pants", there's a loophole to insure it here in Canada.


Thoughts?

(Please let's stay off the subject of "how I will insure it" but rather on any tips on how I should go about purchasing one. Should I look for a broker or just fly out there and find one in a private sale?)

Specs:
Curb Weight: 2976 lbs
Engine: Mercedes AMG V12
Engine Type: 7.3-liter
Horsepower: 550 bhp @ 5500 rpm
Torque: 553.2 ft lbs @ 4100 rpm
Drive type: RWD
0 to 60: 3.6 secs.

The sexy beast:


Mercedes V12 Goodness:



All anybody will ever see:

DO IT, Zonda is def. up there with my fav supercars ever, after Enzo lol but still, car is so rare, fast and drop dead sexy

 

Yup, no arguments here

 

I think you can find a couple of them in Germany.

Good choice, I doubt you'll regret it

 

Why..............

 

Why not?

 

Wife: "But...? Another car...? ...Why?"
Me: "But... ........ ......... Why not? "

 

but seriously, i saw one in person on the road and it looked like a fighter jet.. hahahah!

 

Did you hear it? I've obviously only heard it on the computer, those ti pipes sure make it sound like an F1 car. One clip in particular, hang on let me find it.

 

Here's the clip, notice the 5 - 10 other Zonda's parked along the road. Must have been some "Zonda show" of some sort.

That sound is addicting. Wonder if that can be achieved on the F430 with a Ti exhaust?

 

That was at the Pagani factory. That explains the amount of Zondas parked outside

 

That's got to be the sickest sounding car I've heard (stock of course)! It never sounds like that in all the other vids I've seen... TopGear etc...

 

I think that is the Zonda F which is significantly upgraded.

I look forward to hearing how this one pans out

 

How are you going to register it in Canada?
