It is powered by a {{convert|6.0|L|cuin|0|abbr=on}} Mercedes-Benz M120 V12 engine having a power output of either {{convert|408|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} or {{convert|450|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}{{Cite web |title=Zonda C12 |url=https://www.pagani.com/zonda-c12/ |access-date=2022-08-13 |website=www.pagani.com}} at 5,200 rpm and {{convert|570-640|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4,200 rpm mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The C12 can accelerate to {{convert|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on|order=flip}} in 4.0 seconds and to {{convert|100|mph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} in 9.2 seconds.

Only five cars were built with the 6.0 L engine, though the C12 was still available in 2002 when the C12 S was introduced. One was used for crash testing and homologation, while another was a demonstrator and show car. The remainder were delivered to customers during the next three years. The crash test and homologation car having chassis number 001 was restored by Pagani's recently established restoration program called "Pagani Rinascimento" and was presented to the public at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show for the Zonda's 20th anniversary.{{cite web |url=https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/restored-pagani-zonda-c12-chassis-001-2019-geneva-motor-show|title=Fully-restored Pagani Zonda C12 "chassis 001" unveiled: 2019 Geneva Motor Show |first=Daniel|last=Wong |date=6 March 2019|access-date=27 March 2019}}{{cite news|url=https://carbuzz.com/news/behold-first-ever-pagani-zonda-c12-restored-for-20th-anniversary|title=Behold!

Performance claims were unchanged from the Zonda C12-S.

In 2003, Pagani presented the Zonda Roadster,{{cite web |url=http://www.pagani.com/en/zonda/zonda_roadster/default.aspx |title=Pagani Automobili | Zonda | Zonda Roadster |access-date=27 January 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202064621/http://www.pagani.com/en/zonda/zonda_roadster/default.aspx |archive-date=2 February 2017 }} an open top version of the Zonda S 7.3. Carrying the same components as the coupé, Pagani promised no loss of performance, a claim supported by the minimal weight gain of {{convert|30|kg||abbr=on}}. A total of 40 roadsters were produced.[http://www.pagani.com/zonda/zonda_roadster/default.aspx Zonda Roadster] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161124074210/http://www.pagani.com/zonda/zonda_roadster/default.aspx |date=24 November 2016 }} Pagani Automobili 14 July 2013

It was the most extensive re-engineered variant of the Zonda yet, even though it shared much with its predecessors, it featured an all new 7.3 L Mercedes-AMG M297 V12 engine which through enhanced intake manifolds, exhaust and a revised ECU now had a power output of {{convert|602|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}} at 6,150 rpm and {{convert|760|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4,000 rpm. The transmission is largely the same as the C12 S but had stronger internals and differential gears. Zonda F has a top speed of {{convert|345|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

Production of the Zonda F was limited to 25 cars. It came equipped with an extra headlight and a new configuration of fog lights in the lower grille, new bodywork (revised front end, new rear spoiler, more aerodynamic vents all around) that improved the car's aerodynamics, and different side mirrors. Further enhancements over the "S" centered on optional carbon/ceramic brakes (measuring 380 mm) developed in conjunction with Brembo, OZ alloy wheels, Inconel exhaust system, hydroformed aluminium intake plenum, and a redesigned "Z preg" weave in the crash structure to improve rigidity and reduce weight.{{cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/pagani/er-6n/2005/2005-pagani-zonda-f/|title=First Drive: 2005 Pagani Zonda F|date=3 May 2006|first=Paul|last=Horrell|publisher=Motor Trend|access-date=27 March 2019}}

Exterior wise, the roadster was similar to the coupé, but with a removable carbon fibre roof and canvas side curtains, weighing just {{convert|5|kg|lb|abbr=on}} more than the coupé. Power output of the engine increased to {{convert|650|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|780|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Production of the Roadster F was limited to 25 units.

The Roadster F maintained chassis rigidity without any gain in curb weight, eschewing conventional thinking by not strengthening the sills, a process which would have needed more than {{convert|35|kg|lb|abbr=on}} of reinforcement. Pagani instead used racing car materials, and construction techniques, strengthening the firewall structure of the chassis tub together with billet alloy braces that connected the points where the roof rails would have joined. The windscreen was also strengthened for safety reasons. These techniques enabled the Roadster to have virtually the same weight as the coupé, {{convert|1230|kg|0|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.sybarites.org/2006/02/24/pagani-releases-the-zonda-f-roadster/ |title=Further information and photos |publisher=Sybarites.org |date=24 February 2006 |access-date=5 October 2010}}

The Zonda Roadster F Clubsport is a lightweight version of the Zonda Roadster F. It has an extensive use of the new carbo-titanium material developed by Pagani as well as having an upgraded engine. It was tested by Top Gear's The Stig along with James May and achieved a lap time around their test track of 1:17.8, beating the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 tested during the same episode, but lost in a quarter mile drag race against the Veyron by nearly 2.5 seconds.{{cite web |url=http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/zonda-f-vs-veyron |title=Pagani Zonda vs Bugatti Veyron |publisher=topgear.com |date=9 August 2014 |access-date=8 September 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140909220308/http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/zonda-f-vs-veyron |archive-date=9 September 2014 }} German racing driver Marc Basseng managed to lap the Zonda F Clubsport around the {{convert|20.8|km|mi}} Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:24.7.{{cite web|url=http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=20475 |title=PistonHeads Headlines |publisher=Pistonheads.com |date=20 August 2009 |access-date=5 October 2010}}

In 2007, Pagani introduced the Zonda R at the Geneva Motor Show, a track-only version of the Pagani Zonda.

===Zonda Cinque===

The Zonda Cinque{{cite web |url=http://www.pagani.com/en/zonda/zonda_cinque/default.aspx |title=Pagani Automobili | Zonda | Zonda Cinque |access-date=27 January 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202064653/http://www.pagani.com/en/zonda/zonda_cinque/default.aspx |archive-date=2 February 2017 }} (Italian for five) was meant to be the last iteration of the Zonda, being a road-legal version of the Zonda R. Only five were built, hence the name, with deliveries set to June 2009 for all five cars. The Zonda Cinque was developed at the request of a Pagani dealer in Hong Kong.

The differences from other variants of the Zonda were the new 6-speed automated manual gearbox, resulting in shifts taking less than 100 milliseconds, dropping the 0–{{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} acceleration time down to 3.4 seconds. The gearbox has three driving modes, namely Comfort, Sport and Race which optimises the gearbox for different driving conditions. The Cinque also had a revised form of carbon fibre called "carbo-titanium" which incorporates titanium in the weave to increase strength and rigidity. The suspension used magnesium and titanium components, and the 7.3-litre engine's power and torque were increased to {{convert|678|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}} and {{convert|780|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}}. Revised bodywork, which included a longer front splitter, new sideskirts, rear diffuser, bumper canards, and a flatter underside as well as a roof-mounted air intake scoop, enabled the Cinque to generate {{convert|750|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} of down-force at {{convert|355|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} and 1.45 G of cornering force.{{cite web|url=https://www.evo.co.uk/reviews/6773/pagani-zonda-cinque|title=Pagani Zonda Cinque|date=9 November 2009|first=Henry|last=Catchpole|publisher=Evo|access-date=27 March 2019}}

It carried much of the body from the Zonda Cinque. The car was unpainted except for a clear blue lacquer, and red, white, and green stripes from the nose along the top of the car's surface. Unique to this car was a small wing placed behind the cockpit which reflected the tail wing of Frecce Tricolori's Aermacchi MB-339 PAN stunt plane. The three Tricolores were priced at £1.2 million. It was also {{Convert|6|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on|order=flip}} faster than a standard Zonda at {{Convert|220|mi/h|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}.

In 2012 Pagani introduced the Zonda Revolución at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, an evolution of the Pagani Zonda R.

The Zonda HP Barchetta was unveiled at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance as a present to the company's founder, Horacio Pagani for his 60th birthday as well as to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the Zonda. It has unique exterior design cues which makes it different from other Zondas produced with the most distinguishable features being the barchetta body style and rear wheel covers inspired by group C race cars, making it the first Pagani to ever use this styling. It also has a rear spoiler, air intakes and rear lights taken from the 760 series cars. Power comes courtesy of the {{convert|7.3|L|cuin|0|abbr=on}} Mercedes-AMG V12 engine rated at {{convert|800|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|850|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque making it the most powerful road legal Zonda ever produced. It borrows its seats and suspension from the Huayra BC along with its power output being identical to the BC with the only difference being that the BC has a Bi-turbo engine while the HP Barchetta is naturally aspirated. The wheels of the car also have different colour inlays with the wheels at the left having gold and the wheels at the right having blue inlays. Production is limited to just 3 units with one unit retained for Horacio Pagani's personal collection.{{cite web|url=http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/a12042573/pagani-zonda-hp-barchetta/|title=HP Barchetta, the last production Zonda|date=21 August 2017|work=Road and Track|access-date=5 December 2017}} The Zonda HP Barchetta marks an end to the Zonda's production run.{{cite web | url=http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/844466/Pagani-Zonda-HP-Barchetta-revealed | title = Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta revealed | access-date = 27 August 2017 | date = 22 August 2017 | publisher = TopSpeed.com }}{{cite web | url=http://www.paganihistory.com/p/en/cars/zonda-hp-barchetta | title = Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta specifications | access-date = 4 September 2017 | date = 17 January 2018 | publisher = paganihistory.com }}

The Zonda One-Off Series is a custom line-up built for special customers, sometimes made as rebuilds of existing (and sometimes crashed) Zonda chassis. These models have a 7.3-litre M297 engine but with a power output of {{convert|760|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|780|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.

File:PaganiZondaGR HH 2014.jpg

Development of the Zonda GR started in December 2002. Tom Weickardt, owner of American Viperacing, Toine Hezemans, owner of Carsport Holland, and Paul Kumpen, owner of GLPK Racing, incorporated a new company, Carsport Zonda, to develop a racing version of the Zonda. They secured exclusive rights to develop, build and sell competition versions of the Zonda from Horacio Pagani, and the first GR was completed at Carsport's facility in Modena within months.{{clarification needed|how many months?|date=September 2019}}

The Zonda GR is based on the Zonda S. It was built on the same carbon fibre chassis, with lightweight tube frames present on the front and rear. The bodywork was modified to include front and rear diffusers and louvers for improved aerodynamics. The car was {{convert|2|m|ft|sp=us}} wide, in accordance with the regulations of the FIA and ACO. The car's weight was reduced to {{convert|1100|kg|0|abbr=on}}, and a new suspension system was designed. Along with new motorsport-oriented wheels and brakes. The engine was equipped with an enlarged radiator, two air intake restrictor plates, and the engine and gearbox also had new oil coolers. The resulting engine is rated at around {{convert|600|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} at 5,800 rpm and {{convert|580|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4,300 rpm with a redline increased to 7,500 rpm. Unrestricted, however, the 7.0 L V12 engine is capable of producing around {{convert|780|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|750|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Performance figures include a 0 to {{convert|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on|order=flip}} acceleration time of 3.3 seconds.

The car was entered into the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans, but retired after ten laps due to a gearbox failure.{{cite web |url=http://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/Pagani-challenges-Ferrari_1178.html |title=Auto News - GT Cars - Pagani challenges Ferrari ! - The official website of 24 Heures du Mans |work=24h-lemans.com |access-date=}}
