Zonda inspired mid-engine V12 kit car

2 minute(s) of a 26 minute read

This is a better video of the car filmed in March 2009. Still loads to do (doors, sills, floorpan suspension etc.. But its starting to take shape. The engine starts 1st time but at full throttle burns a gallon of fuel a minute! I think I need smaller injectors :(

This is the latest video of my Pagani Zonda C12 inspired kitcar. I have now roughly finished all the body, the big job starts now with making the body beautiful! I still have the doors to make and the rear 1/4 panels. Engineering wise, i have suspension to fit correctly etc..

I have now made both doors for the kit car. Next I need to make the frame for the driver's side. Sadly I am going to work in Bahrain for 2 years so the car will have to wait a while to be finished... So just a few weeks left to do as much as possible.

I have now totally rebuilt the suspension on my car, upgraded all the springs to 425 lbs and made all the bushes from nylon. The car sits at just the right height now. I have also moved the oil cooler to the end of one of the side scoops and moved the turbo rad to the rear. I still have to make the rear quarter panels and attach the skid pan to the front air splitter (you can hear it rattle when the car accelerates hard. Its very very quck, its almost impossible to to stop your head pulling back when pushed hard, 1st gear goes in a second or so. The ABS is working and the steering is light and responsive, for the latest pictures including starting its trip to Bahrain..
