Pagani Zonda R - Nurburgring lap

Pagani - Pirelli Tyre - Assuring new technologies and materials are fit for production means also putting the vehicle's components under severe stresses, exceeding those normally encountered in every day road driving.

The Nürburgring Nordschleife is the most demanding track in the world, for man and machine, an ordeal that each Pagani has to pass, only one of many in the entire development phase.

The Zonda R serves as the ultimate test bench, a car able to reach acceleration figures and speeds that are not possible with a road car.

This is further underlined by a laptime of 6:47,5 min for the 20,832 km Nordschleife. Driver: Marc Basseng

God, that must have been absolutely exhiliarating. That machine is crazy quick.

Damn, I'd give almost anything to be able to strap myself in the driver's seat of one of those any time I wanted. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of automobile craftsmanship I've ever seen, too.

Also, everyone who's saying Marc could have done better because of this, that, and the other, just shut your mouth. You're not a professional supercar driver, you don't know the Nürburgring, and it's not Gran Turismo.

He has to average 120MPH, or 193KPH to do that time. Breathtaking.
