Horacio Pagani had an incredible idea nearly 10 years ago. After the record-breaking Zonda R set the Nurburgring Nordschleife lap record of 6 minutes and 47 seconds with a 739 bhp Mercedes-AMG V12, he decided to create the Zonda Revolucion. This new car was the evolution of the Zonda R, with 800 horsepower and even more impressive aerodynamics. The Zonda Revolucion then set a new record on the Green Hell track, achieving a lap time of just 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
Initially, the rumor was that only one single unit of the Zonda Revolucion would be built, priced at €2,200,000 before taxes, but it turned out Horacio decided to build five units, and one of them is truly a work of art, apparently, the number 5 of 5 which was on display during the 2014 Geneva Motor Show has recently changed hands after being located in Japan for almost 10 years, and this beast is something different, finished in a blue-tinted, visible carbon fiber weave body rolling on glossy black center-lock wheels hiding blue calipers.

And the interior is equally as impressive with lots of carbon fiber being visible while seated in blue and black seats in an upholstery of smooth leather combined with Alcantara for that extra grip when cornering this track-only hypercar, and you’ll need all the grip you can get with 800 hp available, 730 Nm (or 538 ft lbs) of torque, all inside a car that puts just 1,070 kg on the scale … just another number to impress you, the Pagani Zonda Revolucion can accelerate with a 0.8 G-Force hitting the occupants.

I couldn’t find any official information if this specific car also left the factory for €2,200,000 (about $2,900,000 back in 2014) or if this visible carbon fiber body was an expensive option, but it’s safe to say that when this car changed hands after being listed for auction by BH Auction (Bingo) in Japan (which hasn’t disclosed the sale price by the way) it would have required a lot more money to be transferred between the seller and the buyer, who apparently had the car shipped to the United States a few days ago.

The development of the Zonda Revolucion saw the already impressive 6-liter V12 engine from the Zonda R undergo further refinement. Interestingly, there is also a Zonda R Evolution, which is not the same as the Revolucion model. Reportedly, a handful of the 10 Zonda R models were upgraded to the Evolution specs. But back to the Revolucion’s engine, it is the famous M120 V12 unit, paired with a 6-speed sequential gearbox. With a weight of just 2359 lbs, this hypercar can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in an astonishing 2.7 seconds. Despite its power, the Revolucion is a large car, measuring 4774 mm (188.0 in) in overall length.

So we now know this very rare car changed hands recently, the buyer had the car crated for shipment from Japan to the United States, complete with the additional crates for wheels, tires, and even Pagani racing overalls were delivered with the Pagani Zonda Revolucion when new, they all came to the USA as we can see in the Shmee150 video below who happened to be present when the car was revealed sitting inside her crate:
The Pagani Zonda Revolucion was subsequently transported to Pagani of Greenwich, a division of Miller Motorcars, which was responsible for importing this rare beauty in the USA and making sure this one of five was ready to be delivered to her fortunate owner who will actively use it on the track and bring her to various car events across the US:
