📖Generation guide

Zonda HP Barchetta • 2017+

The Zonda HP Barchetta represents the pinnacle of Pagani’s craft, featuring a unique open-top design and a bespoke carbon-Titanium HP composite chassis. Retaining heritage from the Zonda Cinque lineage, this generation focuses on high-performance driving dynamics.

Known issues by generation

The Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta, with its AMG M120-derived 7.3L V12, requires attention to specific service intervals, particularly the timing-chain service, which is crucial after 60-80k miles. These services must be performed exclusively by Pagani-trained technicians, ensuring the integrity of the vehicle. Authenticity is paramount, so the AMG-handcrafted engine signature plate must match the VIN and the Pagani build-card, with any discrepancies signaling potential red flags that could invalidate collector value. Moreover, because of the bespoke materials used in the chassis and interior, any damage repair must go through a Pagani-approved process, emphasizing the importance of maintaining original components to preserve value and provenance.
