"The Zonda's AMG Mercedes V12 feels unstressed, unburstable, like there is lot, lot more to come. The Lambo V12, now stretched to 6.2 litre, feels like its reaching the end of its development life. The Zonda V12 is creamy by comparison, but no less furious."
"We kind of expected that the Zonda's carbon fibre body and tight weight to confer major advantages, and they did. The zonda is all your supercar fantasies rolled up into one. Clearly inspired by the McLaren F1, it hits the jackpot by delivering similar engineering and thrills for half the price. The lightness and strenght of the carbon body give a tremendous feeling of integrity and the car is astonishingly easy to drive, which means the mighty performance is remarkably exploitable."
