Ferrari’s audacity hit a new peak last year when it produced the track-only FXX and
subsequently sold it to loyal owners willing to cough up 2.1 million bucks for the honor of joining Ferrari’s ultimate focus group. Problem is, Ferrari only built 29 of them. If you were one of the bummed billionaires who missed the opportunity to own Ferrari’s non-street-legal super-supercar, here’s the next best thing: the Pagani Zonda R.

Based on Pagani’s already stupidly fast Zonda F, which is capable of lapping the Nürburgring in a shocking 7:32 (same as a Porsche Carrera GT) while achieving nearly 1.5 g in some corners, the R shows just how much higher the performance bar can be raised when you throw out the rulebook.

And pay he or she will: The price of the Zonda R is a Bugatti Veyron–like $1.2 million.
