The Pagani Zonda may have reached the end of the road—once and for all.
The boutique supercar maker will show off the final new example of its first model during Monterey Car Week. The aptly named Zonda Arrivederci brings to an end a chapter in the Italian marque’s history that began all the way back in 1999.
The announcement of the unveiling was made over the weekend by the car’s owner, Kris Singh, whose identity had previously been kept a secret. In an Instagram post, he revealed that Horacio Pagani’s company would display the 140th and final Zonda at this year’s edition of The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering on Friday, August 16. He also called the Arrivederci (which is Italian for “goodbye”) the “single most special car of my lifetime” and wrote that it was “12 years in the making.”
The Zonda Arrivderci may not make its public debut until the end of the week, but images of the car have been floating around since February, according to MotorAuthority. That’s when Instagram account @modenadesign.uk shared a series of renderings meant to faithfully recreate Pagani’s description of the one-off build.
Those images depict the final example of the supercar as a roadster. It features a glossy multi-color exposed carbon-fiber livery that pairs Argento with dark blue and accented with “never before seen” red and blue bi-color line. The steampunk interior, meanwhile, is covered in red leather. Rounding things out is a set of dark blue six-bi-spoke wheels that the owner had commissioned for the Arrivederci.
No mention of the vehicle’s powertrain has been made yet. Later Zondas have been powered by a Mercedes-Benz-sourced 7.3-liter V-12, so that will likely be what sits in the engine bay again. In the Zonda HP Barchetta, which was the car’s last model, that setup delivered 789 hp and 627 ft lbs of torque.
Considering that the Zonda’s successor, the Huayra, launched in 2011, and its successor, the Utopia, in 2022, it makes sense that Pagani is finally done building new examples of the supercar. That doesn’t mean the company is done with the model just yet, though. Motor Authority reports that the marque might continue doing rebuilds of existing chassis for years to come.
