What's the deal with Zonda's in the US?

WOW!!!!

That green one looks terrible... but the blue one looks like perfection.

Its amazing that one can look like a cheap childrens toy in green... and amazingly beautiful in a different color such as the blue.

Great pic! To me personally the Huyara was a big step backwards... the only that looked good to me that I have seen is the Salmondrin 730S

 

The blue one is one of the three Zonda Tricolore's and that's bare blue carbon. In person it is stunning.

The Tricolore might not be the fastest, but I'd go so far as to say that visually it is the best original Zonda variant.

I'm also not a huge fan of the Huayra - they do look better with the new Tempesta package that adds a deep chin spoiler. The one on the far left has it.

Ok so here's what bothers me:

lets say this guy gets caught again (he normally has an army of irritating vloggers chasing him anyhow), they add 1+1 together and think ''hold on, these cars have been in the country for over 90 days/1 year, we must seize them'' (not sure what the laws in between are and the chance you get for shipping them out again). So what's the next step? What happens when they seize the cars after he's had the warning to export them....will they get crushed? America has done this plenty of times with certain cars, even very rare ones or cars with (movie) historic significance...Whats to stop them crushing several millions worth of cars? (The Zonda's are 10m worth...) Will they be idiots and actually crush them?

 

I'd assume yes, they'll be crushed. Unless the current administration forces gov't agencies to start using common sense.

 

It is there option to do that... however... what wouldl ikely happen in this scenerio is big hot shot attorney gets involved... somehow gets them out or they post a bond of a larger amount say... 4 times the value of the cars that if they do not have proof they get more money. the gov would rather have money than crushed cars. Everything is negotiable to a point

 

You're missing the red 7.0 S, that is still around with dealer plates. Spotted many years ago with regular US plates, but I read somewhere over the internet that the owner used to switch plates from a McLaren F1 ( eligible under S&D) to the Zonda ( not allowed to S&D).
The yellow one in Boston is on temporary import, swiss plates.

 

I'm not missing the red car - it is not here legally in the USA so therefore it was not included on my list of those that have been imported under legit/legal methods. I'm well aware of that car's longtime presence and most of its ownership history.

The switching plates story relates to the one time Arizona owner who sold his F1 and bought the Zonda, and his "SUTLE" plate from the F1 appeared on the Zonda afterwards.
