2 5 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I All of that power is delivered to the rear wheels in the blink of an eye via a six-speed sequential transmission with shifts so short and precise that they happen in just 20 milliseconds. Further to that, a Bosch-developed traction control system with 12 variable settings and a renewed ABS systemhelp keep everything in check and under constant control. All of these systems adapt to the driver’s style and road conditions, tailoring the performance to match every eventuality. Bearing in mind that the Revolucion charges from standing to 60 mph in an eye-watering 2.6 seconds and 217mph not much later, you’ll be equally glad to have brand new Carbon Ceramic Matrix Race Brake rotors pulling to a stop just as quickly. Once you’ve experienced all of this performance and felt for yourself how perfectly it is delivered, you’ll start to understand what makes the Pagani Zonda, in all its forms, quite simply the perfect racing machine. Suddenly the dramatic styling that seemed so fearsomely over-the-top becomes almost understated and the price tag of practically $3million seems completely reasonable. It really is that kind of car. As the swansong of a legend, the Pagani Zonda Revolucion hits all the right notes. But, more than that, as a car in its own right – with its own unique identity – the Revolucion is a revelation. A car that drives as good as it looks, that fulfils every promise it has ever made, and gives the person lucky enough to get behind the wheel the ultimate driving experience. For that, Pagani, I thank you.
