It's a fact that the Pagani Zonda R could still give its most modern supercars a good run for their money. The screaming soundtrack coming from its V12 engine is considered one of the best-sounding ever, and 15 minutes of such ear-piercing sound would be a great experience. Thanks to Shmee150, that's what you can hear most of the time in his YouTube upload.
Engine Audio Adds To Driving Thrill
For a great driving experience, power, acceleration, and speed aren't just the contributing elements. The roaring sound from the engine also contributes to the joy and thrill of driving a car. This is one reason why some carmakers create engine sounds for their electric vehicles. The overall feeling that the driver gets while pushing the pedal cannot be described in a normal manner.
After all, the Pagani Zonda R—just like Mike Yin's (@shinmikeyin on Instagram)—is a terrifying beast once it hits the asphalt. With only 15 examples made, the Zonda R is built for quickness and speed. With 740 hp of max output and 524 lb-ft of peak torque deliverable from its 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 mill, the Zonda R can sprint from nil to 62 mph in 2.7 seconds to a top speed of 233 mph.
An Orchestra From Startup To Finish
Nonetheless, you don't need to push the Zonda R to 62 mph first before hearing it scream beautifully. Right from startup (around 1:45 minutes into the video), the growl of the Zonda R is a musical solo to the ears. But as soon as Mike steps on the gas, the Zonda R screams so loud, thereby turning the entire drive into an orchestra.
The roaring sound of the Zonda R's V12 engine remained so loud even while the track-focused car is parked. Shmee150 can be heard clearly, but the V12 audio persists on the background. Each time the Zonda R is pushed on the track, the engine screams like there is no tomorrow. However, it's a scream we would love to hear.
V12 Audio Pleasure From Zonda R
There are few sports cars, supercars and hypercars that can offer such an audio delight. Some car owners even had to change their exhaust system just to make their vehicles sound better. But for the Pagani Zonda R, it's a pleasure to hear it scream for around 15 minutes.
