Pagani Just Unveiled the One-of-a-Kind Zonda Unico

The Pagani Zonda was supposed to have ended with the 140th and final example shown last year, but the marque unveiled a surprise on Wednesday: another Zonda, a one-off built after a client’s request.

The Pagani Zonda Unico is cloaked and built in carbon fiber, according to images released by Pagani. In the back is a large spoiler, complemented by a smaller spoiler, or wing. The car is finished in a tasteful dark blue. Pagani did not provide information about who the buyer is. The brand also did not say what powers the Zonda Unico, but it’s likely a V-12 made by AMG, which produces 760 horsepower, like other Zonda one-offs.

“This one was born in the silence of the Kunlun Mountains,” Pagani said, referring to a mountain range in western China. “A one-off Zonda, entirely reimagined—outside and in—following the client’s vision, detail by detail.”

Introduced in 1999, the Zonda is the last great ’90s supercar, which makes it all the more remarkable that a new Zonda is still being made in 2025. The final Zonda unveiled last year was said to be the 140th, which may or may not make the Zonda Unico the 141st, since it’s possible other one-offs or mules have existed.

It is far from unusual for Italian supercar makers—or any automaker, really—to build a car if a client asks for it and offers a big enough pile of money. Pagani, in particular, has been famous for the number of different Zondas it has made over the years, many of them built in part to keep breathing life into the model, and many of them also created simply because there was a buyer at the ready.

Lamborghini, too, will build clients almost any car they want within reason, and so will McLaren, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, and virtually every other luxury car or supercar maker save Ferrari, who will do it, too, but with a lot of strings attached. Making (and selling) extremely expensive automobiles, historically, has been an exercise in seemingly conflicting desires: exclusivity and accommodation. The ideal for many clients is something like the Zonda Unico: a tried-and-true classic that is also designed solely for them.

Pagani Unico, which is the brand’s in-house bespoke program, describes it this way: “Customers have at their disposal an almost unlimited range of configuration choices to be chosen both for the livery of the bodywork and for the interior of the cabin, as well as aerodynamic and mechanical upgrades.” Better get planning your next supercar, then.
