This is the 2021 Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta, car number 3 of just 3 of it’s kind to be built for the entire world. This design for this particular example of the HP Barchetta was developed by @lmm23design, and features unique mirrors, an entire body covered in exposed carbon fiber, with regions of a special matte ‘Black Mamba Carbon Fiber’. There are sections that are contrasted with gloss carbon, and a stripe going down the center painted in a color known as ‘Giallo Bahrain’. The interior consists of a full Nero interior with yellow stitching. The ‘HP’ in the cars name stands for the companies founder, Horacio Pagani, and this variant of the Zonda was built to commemorate his 60th birthday. Ever since the first ever Pagani Zonda debuted at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show the model has seen numerous evolutions and improvements since it’s conception. It had always been a dream of Horacio’s to create a Zonda variant that was crafted to his own personal taste, and this is it. The HP Barchetta seeks to emulate that same emotion & spirit of a classic Barchetta racer envisioned through the Zonda model. Together, the Pagani team constructed this car to pay homage to Barchetta cars by implementing tartan canvas fabric on the interior that was inspired by championship winning racecars of one of Horacio’s early mentors, Juan Manuel Fangio. Simply put, the Zonda HP Barchetta in Horacio’s own words is “My dream, My Zonda”. The HP Barchetta model was first ever shown to the public at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance, and this particular example, car number 3/3 was just recently debuted to the public at @theicemoritz (The international Concours of Elegance) by @paganiautomobili. The HP Barchetta weighs a total of just 2756lbs thanks to it’s fully exposed carbon fiber body.
