\n\tYou\u2019re in luck if you\u2019re still kicking yourself over missing out on the final Pagani<\/a> Zonda.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat one-of-a-kind Zonda Riviera<\/a> is set to be auctioned off by RM Sotheby\u2019s in early December. The auction house has high hopes for the over-the-top hypercar and estimates that its gavel price could reach into eight-figure territory.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 140th and final Zonda may have only been unveiled in the summer of 2024<\/a>, but you can trace its roots back to 1999, the year that Pagani\u2019s debut model began rolling off the line. The car that would become the Riviera started life as an F variant from 2006 that was returned to the marque\u2019s Italian factory 11 years later so that it could be converted into one of its one-off 760-series builds.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe base vehicle\u2019s already head-turning exterior has been customized to further stand out from the pack. The Zonda Riviera wears all-new carbon-fiber body panels, a special roof scoop, and an even bigger rear wing. It is also finished in a unique paint job that combines metallic white, royal blue accents, and exposed carbon-fiber trim. The steampunk-style interior, which features all the gauges and physical buttons one could hope for, is done up in black except for the seats and door cards, which are covered in royal blue.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut the hypercar\u2019s most impressive features can be found hidden away in its engine bay. The one-off is powered by a Mercedes-sourced, naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V-12 that has been reported to make as much as 750 hp. Pagani never announced any performance figures for the Zonda Riviera, but the Zonda F could rocket from zero to 60 in about 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 214 mph. The powertrain on this unit should be in tip-top shape as well. Not only was the conversion overseen by Pagani itself, but the vehicle also has just 564 miles on the odometer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Zonda Riviera, which was already listed for sale earlier this year<\/a>, is scheduled to cross the block on Friday, December 5, during RM Sotheby\u2019s Abu Dhabi sale<\/a> at the St. Regis Saadiyat Island resort. Prepare to spend big if you don\u2019t want the vehicle slipping through your hands, though. The auction house expects the winning bid to fall between $9.5 million and $10.5 million. That may sound outlandish, but another rare Zonda sold for $11 million late last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
