Lanzante did not detail the changes made to the Revolución to make the car legal, but typical changes include suspension and ride height changes, as well as brakes and cooling systems. There is also the mounting of items such as indicators, license plate holder and safety equipment inside. We can see that the interior of the Revolucion has also been optimized for comfort. We`ll give you a glimpse of why the Pagani Huayra is an adrenaline-pumping Italian work of art, but is illegal in America because of a safety switch! Looking for a frame for your license plate that is both cool and protective? Discover them here on our website. The Zonda Revolucion in question is coated with blue carbon fiber. It also features sharp ducks on the front bumper that swing a set of golden wheels in Italian flag colors and standard shape. With Lanzante still investigating what he needs to do to make the car legal, it`s still unclear what changes will be made, GTspirit reports. Whatever the modifications, the owner of the car obviously has to spit out a pretty penny for them. One of only five Pagani Zonda Revolucion models ever produced, it would soon be converted into a street car by none other than Lanzante. The owner of TopCar Design, a Russian tuning company, acquired the fourth Pagani Zonda Revolucion and sent it to Lanzante for modification. Although no details about the conversion have been released, it is likely that the car will ride more comfortably on the road, starting with the suspension. In order to obtain roadside approval, a license plate holder and turn signals must be added. There seems to be a loophole for this, bring your pure track hypercar to the UK car company Lanzante Limited which offers a legal road conversion for these cars so you can register it in the UK and get a UK number plate, and they have already done so, on a McLaren F1 GTR, a McLaren P1 GTR and even a McLaren Senna GTR.
and now that TopCar Design has apparently asked them to rebuild one of the five Pagani Zonda Revolucion, a list of necessary changes will be released later. When everything was done and almost finished, NHTSA withheld the legal launch of Pavani`s hypercar due to a safety issue. There have been discussions about allowing it and allowing the car to be allowed to drive sooner or later, but this has not developed. But that hasn`t stopped the ultra-rich from buying Pagani`s illegal wheeled artwork, which was priced over $1 million when it launched in 2012. They asked for an exception stating that the changes would cause them «significant economic hardship,» which was denied by NHTSA. Pagani made no effort to overcome this obstacle and, frankly, did not have to. Because it wasn`t hard for them to find customers! But there`s a twist here. Not all «Huayras» are illegal in the United States. The Pagani Huayra BC, which was limited to just 20 units, was road legal worldwide, including the United States. Update August 2022: We have updated this article with more information about the legality of Pagani Huayra in the US and why it is not completely illegal! The Zonda Revolucion and P1 GTR are far from the only hypercars originally designed for the circuit before being converted into road-legal cars.
Another relevant example that comes to mind is the Aston Martin Vulcan, which was modified by the British RML Group to obtain a license plate. Just over a year ago, Brabham unveiled a conversion kit for the BT62 to make it road-friendly. If we go back in time, Porsche built a unique 911 GT1 Evo for the road in the late 1990s (not to be confused with the road version 911 GT1). One of the five Pagani Zonda Revolucion is transformed into a car homologated by the British expert Lazante. The team, best known for its road-legal McLaren P1 GTR conversions, has been recruited and fans are eager to see what they will do. The folks at GT Spirit learned that the legal Zonda Revolucion on the street belongs to the Russian tuning company TopCar, which has or had a number of Paganis in its possession. It is then possible that the Revolucion will soon be offered for sale. It should be noted that the conversion was carried out for the United Kingdom, where it is easier to make a wagon legal for road use than for the United States, where type-approval rules for individual vehicles apply. The Pagani Huayra has a top speed of over 230 miles per hour. But it`s not just about straight speeds. Its beautifully sculpted body hides serious aerodynamic parts that put its competitors to shame.
During the production of the Revolucion, Pagani also significantly changed the aerodynamics of the vehicle. The Italian supercar weighs a measly 1,070 kg (2,358 lb), but it`s reasonable to assume it could gain weight if modified for on-road use. A post shared by Pagani Automobili Official (@paganiautomobili) But back to the Revolucion. The car was an evolution of the Zonda R Track Special (got it? R-evolution) started in 2009 and only five have been built. Now, one of those five cars, chassis number four to be exact, has been legal on the road thanks to Lanzante. The British motorsport and engineering company has already made such conversions for racing cars, the most famous being the McLaren P1 GTR. The Zonda Revolucion is powered by the same 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine from the Model R, which produces 800 horsepower and 748 Nm of torque. A 6-speed sequential gearbox sends power to the rear wheels.
The Zonda Revolucion underwent significant changes to the car`s aerodynamics, weighing just 2,360 pounds (1,070 kg) due to the extensive use of carbon fiber and titanium. This weight is likely to increase as Lanzante changes road traffic. We all know those multi-million dollar hypercars built just for the track, names like the Pagani Zonda R, the Pagani Zonda Revolucion of which only 5 were made, or a McLaren Senna GTR, not to mention the all-new Pagani Huayra R that will soon be built, these are all amazing hypercars designed to their limits. But to be used only on the race track, none of these cars are legal on the road, so you can`t enjoy them on the road. Or is it the case? It is reported that the owner of tuning company TopCar Design recently acquired the #4 Zonda Revolucion and quickly sent it to Lanzante for modification.
