Pagani Zonda C12

The Pagani Zonda C12 reaches 60 mph in 3.78 s (100 km/h in 3.92 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.90 s, tripping the lights at 121.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.95 s and the eighth mile in 7.84 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.38 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Zonda C12

The 1999 Pagani Zonda C12 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,350 kg with 402 bhp, which works out at 298 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 298 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.95 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 875th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 11th quickest of the 11 Paganis here. Its 121.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 5 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Pagani Zonda C12 0-60 time?
The Pagani Zonda C12 reaches 60 mph in 3.78 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 875th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pagani Zonda C12 quarter mile time?
11.90 s at 121.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.84 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.95 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pagani Zonda C12 have?
402 bhp and 1,350 kg, which is 298 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 300 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pagani Zonda C12?
Closest here on pace: Aston Martin Rapide AMR 6.0 V12 603 (3.85 s), Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 (3.74 s), Mercedes-AMG S 65 L (V222) 6.0 V12 630 (3.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Pagani Zonda C12 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Pagani Zonda C12 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 5 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
