PAGANI ZONDA. Gran Turismo on PPSSPP - Time trial #68
Nowadays, if it's not Ferrari or Lamborghini, then Pagani is usually the go-to manufacturer for exotic Italian super cars. And it just so happens that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Pagani's first model, the Zonda.

[Description (based in-game)]
In 1999, one car maker decided to challenge the sports car world by building the ultimate exotic. This maker was Pagani. The company founder, an Italian named Horacio Pagani, loved cars and machines, and had been attracted to fast cars since childhood. He even participated in the F3 championship in Argentina in his youth. Why Argentina? Because it was the home country of his childhood hero, Juan Manuel Fangio.
Returning back to Italy and becoming an engineer, Pagani worked on Ferrari and Lamborghini cars using his special knowledge in carbon technology. He took this experience to build a prototype supercar in commemoration of Fangio. This evolved into another project that ultimately became the Zonda C12, released in 1999.
The radical exotic was powered by a Mercedes-Benz 6.0-liter V-12 that was mounted amidships. It pumped out 290 kW and 569.9 Nm of torque, instantly making it a force to be reckoned with. Starting with Pagani's favorite carbon monocoque, the manufacturing of parts was completely race oriented, and the suspension was a full-scale pushrod system.
Soon, the C12 evolved into the C12S. The biggest difference in the cars was the body, which was composed entirely of carbon. With AMG working on the engine, displacement increased to 7010 cc, with power upped to 405 kW. In 2002, the C12S saw its engine displacement increased again to 7291 cc, thus changing the car's name to C12S 7.3.
