📖Generation guide

Zonda HP Barchetta • 2017+

The only production variant of the Zonda HP Barchetta, featuring a bespoke carbon-Titanium HP composite chassis and a naturally-aspirated 7.3L V12 engine.

Known issues by generation

For the Zonda HP Barchetta, the most critical known issue relates to the AMG M120-derived 7.3L V12 engine's timing-chain service interval, which necessitates engine-out servicing every 60-80k miles. This service must be performed by a Pagani-certified technician or an AMG specialist, typically costing between $40k to $80k. Given that most Zonda HP Barchetta examples have under 500 miles on their odometers, this service is rarely needed. Authenticating the AMG-handcrafted-engine signature plate is also vital, as mismatched plates can invalidate collector value.
