Tiff Needell meets the 750hp Pagani Zonda R

[keshy]

If ever god were to suddenly appear in front of me saying that my time was up but I had one last wish, my most likely answer would be "let me drive a Pagani Zonda R around the Nurburgring all day and all night and I'll die a happy man".

Now the chances of that happening is equal to the chances of the sky crashing down to earth, but there's no harm in dreaming. Living that dream though is Tiff Needell, Fifth Gear host and once upon a time Formula 1 racer.

In this video, Tiff gets to ring out the Zonda R, and of course, being Tiff, he switches off the traction control of this 750hp, 1070kg, track-only monster. Check out the video below and live the dream for all four minutes.

that car gotta be a monster/handful to control.
look at tiff's face as he drove the zonda. now compare that, to him driving other cars.

Yea his face & demeanor are even more intense than when he drove the McLaren F1. It must be a terrifyingly fast beast! Pagani should've made a racer to enter the FIA GT1 class, would be interesting if it can beat the MC12 etc2.

even driving this car in need for speed is thrilling enough, even autocar just get to drive this car in a empty airfield, tiff is one lucky guy, hopefully GT5 will hv this car.
