One to Buy: Unique 2014 Pagani Zonda 760 LM Roadster
/
Even though it had to compete with some super high end rivals from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Bugatti and Koenigsegg, the Pagani Zonda has seemingly come to be regarded as arguably the most sought after automotive creation of the 21st century.
140 Zondas were eventually completed during around a decade-and-a-half in production, a figure that included a dizzying array of special editions and even some true one offs. Many were also returned to Pagani for customisation by later owners.
A car that falls into both the last two of those categories is chassis ‘76048’ which is set to go under the hammer at RM Sotheb’s auction in Dubai on December 1st.
Set to realise an astonishing USD $12m, 76048 started life as a Zonda S 7.3 Roadster. It was then sent back to Pagani for a complete rebuilt to 760 LM Roadster trim on behalf of the consigning owner for whom a matching 760 LM Coupe was also completed.
Configured in exposed carbonfibre with green highlights over charcoal alcantara upholstery with green stitching, one of the most striking aspects unique to these LM specials were custom headlight clusters designed to mimic contemporary Le Mans Prototypes. Elsewhere, Pagani included a variety of Cinque, Tricolore, and Zonda R features.
Unlike many Zondas, chassis 76048 has been regularly exercised since its 2014 revamp with 28,500km currently showing on the odometer.
