My favourite car as a child, and still my favourite car to this day. There’s no car I have such an emotional attachment to than the Zonda. In my eyes, it’s the perfect example of what “supercar” means. And my goodness, only a Carrera GT can match it in terms of sound. What a beautiful thing 🥲

[@andresaenima9938]

really? go check again...its like picking between two sons

[@kantina4765]

It's not exactly easy to follow the zonda but they fucked up bad. Ugly car ugly exhaust note.

[@cookedit]

Was always going to be hard for the Huayra to beat, since the Zonda S/S 7.3 are probably the most beautiful cars of the 2000's. Followed by the Alfa 8C and Ferrari 458. Italian car design still the most striking, from the last century to the current.
