VIDEO: ZONDA R'S RECORD RUN AT THE 'RING

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say. And actions speak louder than words. If those clichés are true (and they wouldn’t be clichés if they weren’t), then we shan’t keep you with excessive words – because this video must be worth a full-length novel read out at 150dB.

It’s simply the in-car footage taken a few weeks ago of the Pagani Zonda R setting a 6mins 47sec lap of the Nordschleife, but it is pretty compelling.

Whether that 'road car-derived' time is a proper record or not we’ll let you decide, but what is incontrovertible is that you are watching the Zonda R destroy the best that the monstrous Ferrari 599XX can do by a full 11 seconds. Nice.
