Powered by a twin-turbocharged Audi V8, this Pagani Zonda knockoff, built by Nick Truman, is anything but a supercar, as it’s based on an old Ford. However, to the standard non auto enthusiast, this may pass for something, but most certainly not an exotic.
Put simply, this Pagani Zonda knockoff is based on a 1989 Ford Scorpio (V5 included) (running gear/drive shafts, brakes, wiring, electrics, cooling etc) and has a space frame chassis based on the Ultima GTA, the fastest car ever around the Top Gear race track.
- This LEGO Speed Champions car model building kit features a buildable replica of one of the world's most iconic hypercars: the Pagani Utopia
- The toy car has features of the real hypercar: central 4-pipe exhaust, swooping bodywork, front grille, wheel arches and an engine beneath glass
- The cockpit of this LEGO race car toy can be opened to insert the race driver minifigure included in the set, with helmet and switchable hair
The engine could do with professionally mapping to get the most from the estimated 550 + bhp engine (the car weighs under 900 kg!). On paper the car accelerates from 0 – 60 mph in 2.9 secs and has a top speed of 187 mph. These figures were calculated using the much heavier and less powerful Jag V12, so I guess with the V8 performance would be much scarier,” said Truman.
