Pagani Zonda Replica is Based on a Porsche and has a Real Mercedes-Benz V12 Engine with 600-Ponnies

|

It may look like a Pagani (to the untrained eye, at least), and according to the eBay seller, sound like one too, but what you see in these images is a replica of the famed Italian supercar.

The builder of the Pagani Zonda clone says the car is based on a Porsche chassis (we are not told which one) and just like the original model, it is powered by a Mercedes-Benz V12 engine, which in this case, is said to deliver 600-horses towards the rear axle via a Porsche-sourced 6-speed manual transmission.

Upon request, buyers can opt for an automatic transmission and can also choose the exterior paintwork and customize the interior.

Other tidbits from the description include the use of a "Porsche 4-wheel ABS braking system with electronic brake force" and an independent suspension.

The starting bid for the car on eBay (before it was removed) was US$109,000 (€84,000) and the buying price, US$130,000 (€100,000), which is evidently a lot less than the Zonda S's US$500,000 price tag (other versions of the Zonda are more expensive) but still hard to swallow for a replica.

It looks like a turd. Cool that is has a actual MB V12, but that's where is stops. Why not do something original with this setup versus a turd? Can't afford a real Pagani? Buy this turd!

Pagani's lawyers should be hard at work after seeing this one.

Did homeboy use PVC piping for the AC vents in the middle of the dash?

Kill the guy who did the upholstery.  Probably did it inhouse instead of paying a reputable outside shop to do it.

That, plus a better color would have done wonders for what is other wise a lot of good fabrication work and a real v-12 with 600 ponies.

I agree with everyone below...also the headlights were not done properly.  You won't be able to see more that 30ft with the lights pointed down that far. Big waste of all that work and a shame that they used an MB engine. Also who's ill-advised idea was it to use those extremely long chromed rods for rear view mirrors (dead giveaway from the front)?
