Italian hypercar manufacturer Pagani (www.pagani.com) continues to blur the line between automotive engineering and bespoke design with the Pagani Zonda Riviera, a one-off model rebuilt through the company’s exclusive UNICO programme. Originally delivered as a 2006 Pagani Zonda F, the car later returned to Pagani’s Atelier in San Cesario sul Panaro for a complete transformation inspired by the Riviera coastline and the aggressive aerodynamic styling of the Zonda 760 series. The project reflects founder Horacio Pagani’s long-standing belief that a car can continue evolving long after its original production.
The redesign introduced a roof-mounted air scoop, central carbon fibre fin, revised front bonnet, and a prominent rear wing inspired by the Zonda 760. Finished in pearl white with blue accents, the exterior is paired with an interior trimmed in leather, exposed carbon fibre, and deep blue Alcantara. Power comes from Pagani’s naturally aspirated 7.3-liter AMG-sourced V-12 engine connected to a seven-speed sequential gearbox, delivering the mechanical character that helped establish the Zonda as one of the most celebrated hypercars of its era. The Zonda Riviera was later offered through RM Sotheby’s, where it sold for $10,130,000 USD. While Pagani models were not officially sold in large numbers in the United States during the Zonda era, select examples entered the country through exemptions and private import arrangements.
