Argentine-born Horacio Pagani’s sports-car company—Pagani Automobili S.p.A., based near Modena, Italy—has been hand-building the exquisite mid-engine masterpiece known as the Zonda since early 2000. 

But now Pagani says the time has come to produce “a brand new car from concept.” The Pagani Zonda has served as one of the most exotic sports cars in the world for 10 years running. Now it’s time for an all-new model: the C9.

Here we have the best spy shots in the past time that we’ve seen and I bet that you will appreciate them very much because of the details that they are revealing caused by the distance that the photos were taken and also because it was not on the road.

Unadulterated, bombastic carbon-fiber insanity--the current Pagani Zonda and its several variants are the embodiment of what it is to be a supercar. And its replacement, the C9, looks set to have even more more, and it'll be headed to the U.S., as well. 

Sadly, these latest spy shots show the car in a very unfortunate state. The driver of this prototype managed to lose control and crash into a center barrier of a highway in Germany while testing the car at high speeds. Fortunately, he was left relatively unscathed.

This 2011 Pagani C9 will come with a 6.0 liter V12 engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG which is able to develop up to 700 horsepower and also a maximum torque of 737 pound-feet. I may say that this is pretty amazing but taking a look at the shapes of this car, it is pretty understandable the power that it comes with.

Thanks to a sharp eyed guy in South Africa we got some photos of the new Pagani Supercar, the C9. It will feature a 6.0 liter V12 Mercedes-Benz AMG engine delivering some 700 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque. When the production in on in late 2010, the Pagani will cost around € 900.000 so you still have some time to save your money.

BTW, anyone have a sticker for me, Highspeed testing vehicle and thats even Gouverment approved.

Planned production is tipped at just 60 cars per year, though that's an almost four-fold increase from the current 16 hand-built cars per year. The boost comes from a planned move to a new production facility. Construction will still be a painstaking process, however, as the C9 is a new car from the ground up, with 3,770 new parts. As Pagani ramps up for C9 production, the Zonda will slowly cease construction by September. Expect a debut towards the end of the year.
