You are probably familiar with the Zonda F Roadster as it’s been featured in more than car shows on TV. But Pagani Zonda S Roadster is a rarer beast – older, but some may say more charming. It was the first open-top version of the legendary hyper car and therefore a hugely significant model.
This amazingly beautiful red Pagani Zonda S Roadster was spotted the other day hanging out in its hometown of Monaco. The Principality, incidentally, is probably the only place in the world where you can leave a car like Zonda on the side of the street with the roof open and not worry about a thing. The absence of roof on this car gives us a better look at its tan leather interior which is evidently bespoke to the owner, judging by the unique logo embroidered into the headrests. God this thing it beautiful:
