Pagani Zonda owned by the champion of Formula 1 again got into an accident (8 photos)

The unique supercar Pagani Zonda 760 LH, built to order seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, was seriously injured in car accident. This is not the first accident in his biography. The current owner of the coupe is not lost control, accelerating in a tunnel in Wales, and crashed into wall. The driver was not injured.





Series 760 probes are equipped with a booster up to 760 hp. and 780 Nm 7.3-liter V12 engine from Mercedes-AMG. Horatio Pagani Company built a few units of such machines, and some - not from scratch, but on the chassis of earlier Zonda crashed and then factory refurbished. Hamilton bought a supercar, to the name which he added his own initials, in 2014. And he is the first ordered a supercar with the usual "mechanics" instead of the standard sequential boxes. Later, following his example, several more cars were released with Manual gearboxes, including the very first 760 roadster and the Zonda Fantasma Evo coupe.

Already in 2015, the famous racer got into a small accident in Monaco. He later complained to reporters that the supercar sounded great, but horribly managed. A total of Zonda 760 LH belonged to the original owner is about seven years old and has driven less than 1000 kilometers. The current one acquired it at the end of 2021, according to some data for 10 million euros. It is reported that while driving through the tunnel in the city Conwy, he got too carried away on the accelerator pedal. As a result there were damaged body panels and both suspensions. Headlights crashed, windshield the glass is cracked. The car in the pictures looks to be restoration, but it will obviously not be cheap.

A little less than a year ago, an even cooler one was smashed in Croatia Probe - HP Barchetta. Only three of them were collected, one - personally for Horatio Pagani. In this modification, the same V12 engine is tuned for 800 hp. and 850 Nm, client copies cost at least $15 million.
