One of the rarest supercars EVER could make you part of elite club with 217mph top speed and competition-ready interior
IF you’ve ever dreamed of joining the rarefied ranks of supercar royalty, now is your chance.
One of the most exclusive supercars ever made, the Pagani Zonda 760 LM Roadster, is set to hit the auction block with an eye-watering guide price of £9.5 million.
The Zonda 760 LM Roadster stands out not only for its blistering top speed of 217mph but also for its ultra-rare status.
The exclusive vehicle represents the pinnacle of engineering and design by Italian automaker Pagani.
The car, known for its speed and rarity, will be offered by RM Sotheby’s at an auction in Dubai on December 1st.
Finished in bare carbon fiber with a clear lacquer finish, the car has 19-inch wheels inspired by the Zonda R and distinctive Huayra wing mirrors.

Inside, it boasts a competition-ready interior complete with suede and leather bucket seats, a custom Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, and green stitching that mirrors the car’s striking exterior accents.
First introduced in 1999, the Pagani Zonda quickly earned a reputation as one of the most exceptional supercars ever made.
The 760 series, which is the most powerful iteration of the Zonda, is powered by a 7.3-liter AMG V12 engine that produces 760 horsepower and propels the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds.
The 760 LM Roadster is one of only 20 cars in the 760 series, making it an even rarer find for collectors.

This particular Zonda LM Roadster has participated in numerous high-profile events, including Pagani Radunos and Supercar Owners Circle tours, showcasing its status as a prized collector’s item.
With just 17,712 miles on the clock, the car is well-maintained and still actively enjoyed by its current owner.
As the Zonda celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024, it is considered one of the greatest supercars ever built, alongside the likes of the McLaren F1 and Porsche 911 GT1.
Its lightweight carbo-titanium construction is a testament to Pagani’s engineering prowess.
Next month's auction offers a rare opportunity to own one of the last Zondas ever produced.
The Zonda 760 LM Roadster is expected to draw attention from serious collectors, as it is incredibly uncommon for a Zonda to be offered at public auction.
The last Zonda to appear at auction was in 2019 at RM Sotheby’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix sale.
With its combination of cutting-edge engineering, extraordinary performance, and unmatched rarity, this Zonda 760 LM Roadster is sure to be one of the standout lots of the auction.
For those with the means to acquire it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of automotive history.
It comes after a century-old classic car dumped in a garage for four decades has sold for a whopping price.
The pre-WW2 Talbot-Darracq 16hp open tourer was stored in a barn by its owner who was a British Army officer serving in Germany.
The leaf-green motor was made in 1921 and it has been likened to the car in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It was bought in 1967 for £750 and was used frequently at first.
It had its last MoT in 1982 and was then taken off road and stored in an open but dry barn, in Suffolk.
The engine was turned over from time to time to keep it free as reported by Luxury Auto News.
Meanwhile, a solar-powered supercar dubbed the "world's most aerodynamic motor" has hit an auction for a bargain price - but it's not road legal.
The sleek vehicle, made by Dutch manufacturer Lightyear, can reach a whopping 160km/h speed, and go from 0 to 100 km/h in 10 seconds.
Named The Zero, the model has a futuristic look and feel, with grey and black exterior elements.
Now, one has hit a Dutch market, with initial bids of around €17,000 - a remarkable 88% reduction on the car's original €200,000 price.

And, it's not just any example, but the very first one ever made - prototype number 0001.
But the catch is the car is not road-legal - being neither type-approved nor equipped with number plates.
