Pagani Zonda EVO 760 El Fantasma returns to the roads with 760 CV of power

In the world of comics, the Ghost is the “walking spirit,” the man who can never die and who fights crime endlessly. He moves at high speed and always wears a very intense red bodysuit, practically purple. In the automotive world, Ghost is the nickname given to one of the Pagani Zonda units, specifically number 53.

The Zonda 53 had the bad luck of being involved in a serious accident in Hong Kong in early 2012, but the good fortune of falling into the hands of a prestigious and wealthy Pagani customer who decided to send it back to the factory to have his toy repaired. Like the comic book character, the Zonda F came back to life, even though in 2011 Pagani said it was cancelling its production, and repeated the same idea in 2013.

Officially, that is how it went, but in 2016 the Zonda 760 OLIVER Evolution officially left its factory in Italy, the last officially manufactured Zonda chassis, and now this Zonda Fantasma EVO returns to life, conveniently rebuilt and updated to a Zonda 760 (a more evolved version of the one it was originally conceived as). The Zonda engineers have once again worked their magic, and the car has practically been entirely remanufactured by hand, paying attention to the last detail.

Thanks to this update, the Zonda Fantasma EVO 760 returns to the roads with notable changes. It features significant changes to its bodywork, now built with new carbon fibre panels finished in the same purple as the character’s “suit” from the comic, and a completely redesigned rear end that now carries a new rear spoiler.

Like any good ghost, its look remains terrifying when you see it approaching quickly in your mirrors and overtaking you in practically the blink of an eye thanks to its otherworldly performance. Thanks to the upgrades it received during its reconstruction, the Pagani Zonda Fantasma EVO now has a AMG-sourced engine. It is the 7.3-litre V12 producing 760 CV, the powerplant Pagani now fits to its models.
