Their competition gave us exotic record-smashing speedsters like McLaren's F1, Bugatti's EB110, and the Japanese Honda NSX.

Pagani Zonda C12

Horacio Pagani confirms that nothing can stop a determined person. When the Argentine engineer faced issues with the suitable engines for his supercar dreams, he approached Mercedes-Benz for a partnership. They offered their powerful V12s, and Pagani successfully revealed the stunning Zonda C12 at the Geneva Motor Show.

It Wasn't Quite Built For Racing

The Zonda C12 was a fine blend of art, engineering, jet fighters, and racing cars. It even became an exclusive collector's item because Pagani produced only five between 1999 and 2002. Although this model had a 402–444 HP engine, it fell short at the Le Mans races.

According to FIA homologation rules, Porsche had to build street-legal models of its racing cars. When Porsche wanted to participate in GT1 racing, it designed the 911 GT1 Strassenversion. This beauty had a front half resembling the Porsche 993 and a rear like the Porsche 962 sports prototype.
