A track-only Pagani Zonda R supercar has been spotted tearing up the public roads in the UK after being converted by Lanzante.
The Zonda R was a track-only special edition of the fearsome supercar, but Lanzante offered a modification service to make it road-legal.
Pagani enthusiast Mike Yin had his converted back in 2021, and recently, he was spotted driving it on some of Britain’s tight, twisty roads.
The Zonda R not only looks spectacular as it roars along, but its massive AMG V12 generates an amazing soundtrack. It’s no surprise that Yin wanted to drive this monster on regular roads.

The Pagani Zonda R is just as hardcore as many of the other track-only specials out there.
That includes the Ferrari LaFerrari FXXXK and the Aston Martin Valkyrie.
The Zonda R needed a few things performed by Lanzante, however, before it could drive on public roads.
First of all, the ride height was increased so it could handle uneven road surfaces better.
More comfortable seats are now inside the supercar, with new leather and a matching steering wheel too.
Yet Lanzante didn’t need to do anything under the hood to make the car road-legal.
The supercar has a 6.0-liter V12 engine under the hood, making 730hp and 524lb-ft of torque.
Thanks to that power, the Zonda R can reach a ferocious top speed of 233mph.
Pagani superfan Mike Yin has amassed an incredible collection of the Italian supercars over the years.
He is the lucky owner of this first road-legal Zonda R.
Footage on his Instagram page shows him tearing up British roads in the car.
Other automotive content creators have also captured Yin showcasing just what this car can do.
We have no figures to hand, but we can only imagine how expensive it was to convert the Pagani to road-legal spec like with this McLaren Senna GTR.
When new, the supercar would have cost customers around $1.4 million.
In 2025, however, their value has shot up, and they can now be worth $6.5 million, or even higher.
Yin has likely spent a fair bit of money getting the car to this stage.
However, we doubt he cares too much, given how amazing the car looks and sounds on the road.
