Pagani Zonda C12S Roadster

Sydney Motor Show 2008 If you think Ferraris and Lamborghinis are pretty out there, then the Pagani Zonda will reset your boundaries. And if you have a wheelbarrow of cash in the backyard you can now drive one on Aussie roads.

Those with a lazy AU$1.55 million and a penchant for Italian exotica can purchase the Zonda C12S Roadster that was on display at this year's Sydney show. Weighing three-fifths of not very much — thanks to a body mainly made from lightweight carbon fibre — and powered by a 7.3-litre V12 engine stolen from Mercedes' high performance AMG division, this C12S Roadster should propel its occupants from 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds.
