    The M120 is used in all Zondas. The twin-turbo V12's (M275/M285) are a different engine.

    Well then they should but the M285 in the Zondas, that would be sweet.

    Thank you for the info. i have been in contact with the factory for a year now and i was planning on going to the factory.
    This will be my next sports car as its the only car made with a real passion now a days.
    I hear it will be comming to the US in 08 early 09. also ive heard that they might be doing a gullwing or lambo type doors for the Zonda? is this true? ANd 700hp for the US.
    ALso how is there fianncial situation? becaseu they are a low volume car there have been reports of financial difficulty
    Thanks again

    PS i agree on no turbos and i hope they dont use the SL65 engine cause it sounds like a UPS truck :(

    I don't know if this has been said yet but there is a Zonda on display at Exotic Cars in Caesars Palace. I don't know if it is a factory race car but it is stripped down with a roll cage and large wing. I will post pictures when I get home at the end of the month.

    Hope the reason behind him selling the car is not because of something about the car. :( Such beautiful cars wish they were legal here.

    I think it's because of it, he could drive it only when he was here in Italy. The Zonda is extremely reliable (there's a Zonda S in the showroom which has 130.000 km on the odo), so "lack of driving" must be the reason.

    Has it been confirmed that's in Seattle? Because that looks an awfull lot to the Monaco Casino Square to me, and a similar Zonda F has been spotted before at that location...

    edit: oops, I should learn to READ the posts before I reply obvious things :D
