In a unique blend of creativity and restoration, an ultra-rare Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta that crashed during a rally in Croatia in 2022 has found a second life—not just on the road, but also as a stunning piece of art. With only three examples ever made, each priced at an astounding $17 million, scrapping this hypercar was never an option.
Two years after the accident, the owner shared an exciting update: the Zonda HP Barchetta has been fully rebuilt and is ready to hit the road once more. However, the story doesn’t end there. The damaged carbon fiber body panels from the crash were refurbished and assembled into a bare shell, which the owner plans to hang on the wall of his living room as an extraordinary art installation. This innovative approach pays homage to the car’s craftsmanship, blending engineering marvel with artistic expression.
The rebuilt Zonda HP Barchetta has already been spotted cruising the streets of Warsaw, Poland. Sporting its signature matte carbon fiber finish with gold accents, the restored hypercar looks every bit as striking as it did before the accident. It now features new wheels with matching gold rims, seamlessly blending elegance with the raw power it’s known for.
Under the hood, the Zonda HP Barchetta remains as formidable as ever. Powered by a 7.3-liter naturally aspirated AMG V12 engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the car is a true testament to Pagani’s dedication to mechanical purity and performance.
This remarkable restoration and repurposing of the Zonda HP Barchetta highlight the car’s status as more than just a vehicle—it’s a masterpiece of design, engineering, and innovation that transcends traditional notions of automotive value.
