One-of-a-kind supercar seriously damaged in accident

A rare, one-off Pagani Zonda worth an estimated £1.5m was involved in a crash on Saturday, Sussex Police have confirmed.

The supercar, believed to be a Zonda PS 760, was travelling on the westbound A27 at Tangmere, West Sussex, when it crashed into the central barrier soon after 7.30am.

Significant damage was caused to both the front and the back of the vehicle.

PC Peter De Silvo said: “We believe the Pagani was travelling in convoy with some other super-sports car from Worthing to Chichester, but no other car was at the scene upon police arrival. Thankfully the driver of the Pagani was uninjured.

“We are appealing to anyone who saw this car driving on the A27, we are hoping someone would remember as it is so distinctive.”

It is unknown who was driving it, but PA understands that the unique Zonda was commissioned by supercar collector Peter Saywell, and was initially finished in white with a yellow stripe on the side. However, Saywell later resprayed the car to its current blue colour.

Originally, the one-off Zonda’s four exhaust pipes were arranged in a horizontal row, although these too were later changed back to the regular square-shaped layout common to other Zonda models.

Anyone with information on the incident should contact police online at quoting serial 300 of 21/10.
