Talking Crashed Pagani Zonda

F@$K! That's what we'd wager was shouted quite loudly from this Pagani Zonda F seconds before the main photograph was taken. The circumstances behind the accident that decimated the rare hypercar are – predictably – rather sketchy, but word is the driver was tootling back from a trackday when an out of control lorry came headed his (or indeed, her) way, forcing evasive action into a row of parked cars.

The resulting mess may well tell a different story, though, the front of the car close to being unrecognisable. Note the jettisoned front wing, too, with its ornate side mirror still intact.

The incident took place in Hong Kong, and is the latest in a series of supercar slayings. Recent weeks have seen a Bugatti Veyron end up in a US salt lake and the Italian Police kill their Lamborghini Gallardo patrol car. In all cases it’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry…

WOW... Thats sucks! Such a sweet car, to end up like that is a shame.

I saw that about the guy who parked his Veyron in the lake in UT. Dumb a$$ should pay more attention to where he's going.

That's what you call people with more money than sense. Unless the truck was really out of control. Then, I feel sorry for the Zonda owner and hope he has amazing insurance.

Wow I didn't even know that happened here. They cost over 1.4mil USD due to 100% tax. The stock wheels look quite terrible imo, they look like some aftermarket wheels you see on DUB magazine. They should have forged aluminum or magnesium alloy ones, or carbon/aluminum like Koenigsegg's, more fitting for an all-out performance cars like this than super heavy 3 piece wheels.

From what I've gather over time, most of those guys who crash exotics don't even own those cars. Either the bank, their friend/family, or the rental company, owns it. That's why exotic insurance is so high. anyone got a price quote for a standard red Ferrari F430?
