Someone Crashed Their 1-of-3 Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta - Road & Track​

Just three Zonda HP Barchettas were ever built. One of them now has some pretty extensive damage.

Any Pagani Zonda is a rare thing. The Zonda HP Barchetta, a one-of-three project completed four years after the Zonda's original production run, is much rarer still.

The cars were rumoured to cost $15 million when new, but only two actually reached the public; the third was for Horacio Pagani himself.

It is the final and ultimate Zonda, making it all the more alarming that one Zonda HP Barchetta owner crashed his in Zagreb, Croatia earlier this week.

Video from the crash shows the car's rear snapping out at low speed, then darting across a narrow road into oncoming traffic. The car hits a Fiesta in the other lane before coming to a halt with some substantial damage.


As photos from the scene shared on Instagram show, most of the damage is to the car's left-rear corner. The entire left-rear suspension is ripped out, leaving a complete wheel and brake assembly on the side of the road. Rear bodywork and the left-front fender also appear substantially damaged.

Finding new parts may prove to be a unique challenge. Outside of limited-run cars like this, the Zonda has been out of production for nine years.

William Nicol offramp, a **** tries to push into me while he climbs the little island just to cut in.
If people need a gap, how about getting the attention of the other driver and asking, i always say go ahead if anyone asks for a gap. Its the ****'s who just rock up and try to gap in, no indicators, no sorry, no thank you, they aim to force you into avoiding a bumper bash with them. FH55JNGP Grey fortuner

They're more importanter than you, and they have bigger and more expensive wheels, so they own the road.

This traffic light has been dead now for almost a week, I haven't seen a pig regulating traffic there once in that time, but just a few hundred meters down the road there's a fat pig sitting in his car stuffing his fat face with food watching a camera.

This is why this country's looks the way they do, they'd rather sit and watch a camera than go out and patrol moving violations. Too much work for the fat arseholes.

Same with the traffic light at a intersection near my work, its broken multiple times per week, mostly in the flashing red only state, for months now.

Major disruption but yet, it keeps on happening, every other day.

Why do they have this function anyway? They should be either on or off cycling on a timer, that's it.

Traffic light at Diepsloot for the N14 on/offramp have been dead for more than two years now.

Yet traffic cops are quite happy to sit under the bridge and do their thing instead of regulating traffic.

I blame the government for this, it's more about making money and less about safety. I can't even remember the last time I went through a roadblock. Cameras, those are everywhere though.

We see a lot of roadblocks in Jhb but almost zero traffic officers at non-functioning traffic lights, it is mostly the homeless/beggars doing the directing.

I know that intersection (although I avoid it unless all other routes are jammed up), it's most likely repeated cable theft in that area.

I am more surprised that the traffic lights in that area haven't been stolen.
