Unbelievable, but it is 25 years since the Zonda on the Geneva Motor Show 1999 debuted! And Pagani, known for its incredibly extreme super athletes, has provided us with more and more new ones over the years Zonda variants delighted, most recently with the Huayra R Evo (Link see below). And now, in 2024, the brand surprises us again, but with a twist. The brand new one Pagani Alisea is not another souped-up and improved Zonda, but rather a homage to the epochal super sports car on the occasion of 25th anniversary. And, although Pagani himself was involved in the project, the majority of the work fell to him European Institute of Design (IED).

2025 Pagani Alisea

The students of the master's program in Turin managed to create a breathtakingly clean design for the 1:1 model. The particularly smooth, flowing surfaces come without the large ones air intakes, Trim or Spoiler that are actually typical for high-performance vehicles. The beefy wheel arches underline the curvaceous silhouette of the unique model, which is just as wide as the Zonda, namely almost 2 meters.

With a length of 4,52 meters However, the Pagani Alisea is a little longer than its source of inspiration and is closer to the ground. And it only measures minimal 1,07 meters in height and also enjoys a "pulpit“. And compared to the Zonda, the characteristic mounts are high up rearview mirror significantly slimmer and only visible on the right side. In this way a more elegant profile could be achieved, without looking at cameras having to fall back.

Pagani Alisea without the distinctive body kit

And the typical ones four headlights have a particularly modern look, while the curved taillights are on those intended only for the racetrack Zonda R remember. Overall it works Alisea “tamer” than the Zonda by pointing to the aerodynamic body kit dispensed with, which could be found on countless versions of the athlete powered by an AMG V12. The Alisea is unfortunately unique. But we wouldn't be surprised to see Pagani adopt some design features should a wealthy buyer be willing to pay an outrageous amount of money for a one-of-a-kind car. If you can buy it, Pagani can certainly build it, as evidenced by the many special Zonda models of the last few decades.
