I would agree as the Zonda be a living legend

IMO

The Top ten list looks like: Not sure of the order though, but say regardless of the order (which I don't think really matters) I think all of these vehicles have contributed to the car world and deserve to be here.

-McLaren F1
-Porsche 997 GT3
-Ferrari F40
-Pagani Zonda C12S 7.3
-Lancia Delta Integrale
-Bugatti Veyron
-Honda NSX-R
-Porsche 911 2.7 RS
-Honda Integra Type-R
-Nissan Skyline R32/33/34 GT-R

Just wondering, does anybody know if the Miura is on the list, I think it should be

Oh, I think the Zonda is every bit an icon. Here's a car built by one man's single-minded determination to design, manufacture and sell one of the most exotic and exclusive high-performance cars money can by. His story - in itself - in reaching such greatness is fantastical; from sweeping the floors at Lambo to becoming a world authority on the forming of carbon fibre structures, the man behind the ultimate in low-volume bespoke automobilia, Horatio Pagani, is already an industry legend. This in itself is the stuff of an icon. That the Zonda had inspirational input from Fangio? Even more intriguing.

And if it looks out of this world - its performance most certainly fits the bill. The Pagani Zonda is every bit the reckless, hedonistic supercar that captures people's imaginations with outrageous looks, exclusive finishings and sublime performance. This is the stuff of dreams and that makes the Zonda every bit an icon.

Agreed 100%!

I meant to add the Fangio influence but forgot

Also to mention, Horacio Pagani was the sole designer on the 25th Anniversary Countach, another icon in my opinion

Thanks, MikeJ!

All M5's models on the list except M5 E39. Weird

The Emperor · 12-19-2006, 05:03 AM
