TWELVE years after it was officially discontinued, an ultra-rare supercar is making an unexpected comeback — but only as a single, one-off creation.
The Pagani Zonda Unico has been announced by Italian hypercar maker Pagani, a car so exclusive that just one will ever exist.

Originally launched in 1999, the Zonda became an instant supercar icon with its AMG-sourced V12 engine, lightweight carbon construction, and jaw-dropping looks.
Even though Pagani introduced the Huayra as its successor in 2011 and followed that with the Utopia in 2022, the Zonda refuses to fade away.
Time after time, special one-off versions keep appearing — and the Unico is the latest jewel in this crown.
According to Motor1, the Zonda Unico was commissioned by a wealthy client who wanted the car’s design inspired by the Kunlun Mountains, one of Asia’s longest and most dramatic mountain ranges.
While it’s not an all-new build, the Unico features extensive modifications to an existing chassis, creating something entirely unique.
Visually, the Zonda Unico is packed with aggressive aerodynamic elements, including a towering center fin, prominent roof scoop, and even a small wing perched on top of the main rear wing.
The body is finished in shimmering blue-tinted carbon fiber, while exposed carbon details highlight the windshield frame, side mirrors, and vents.
Blue accents continue onto the wheels, brake calipers, exhaust tips, and taillight housing, making the Unico look as striking as it is rare.
Under the hood, it’s expected to use Pagani’s familiar 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine sourced from AMG, delivering up to 760 horsepower.
While exact specs haven’t been confirmed, it’s likely based on the Zonda 760 Roadster, which means mind-bending performance and a spine-tingling soundtrack.
The Zonda’s appeal has only grown with time.
Just last year, a Pagani Zonda 760 LM Roadster sold at an RM Sotheby’s auction for an astonishing £8.7 million.
That particular car, one of just 20 built in the 760 series, boasted a 217mph top speed, competition-spec interior, and lightweight carbo-titanium construction.
As the Zonda celebrates its 25th anniversary, it stands shoulder to shoulder with legends like the McLaren F1 and Porsche 911 GT1.
For collectors and enthusiasts, each new Zonda creation is not just a car, but a piece of automotive art — handcrafted, personalized, and timeless.
