  Pagani Zonda - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Zonda is often compared to other supercars such as the Enzo Ferrari, the Koenigsegg CCR, the Lamborghini Murcielago and the Porsche Carrera GT.
The Zonda GR is based on the Zonda C12 S. It was built on the same carbon fiber chassis, with tube frames in front and back.
Pagani instead uses racecar thinking, materials and construction techniques, strengthening the firewall structure of the chassis tub together with billet alloy braces that connect the points where the roof rails would have joined.

 Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3 - Features - European Car Magazine
The Zonda is so meticulously styled throughout--including traditional leather binding straps inside and out, on the glovebox and body panels alike--that it feels like a 1960s sci-fi projection of what cars could be like in the year 2000.
Pagani made his fortune in composite engineering for the aircraft industry, and so the Zonda was inevitably constructed from carbon-fiber from the chassis up.
Pagani knew this would cost him in terms of end speed, but he was prepared to sacrifice record-breaking figures, clearly possible with this engine/chassis combination, to produce a useable car.

A year after the C12-S was introduced, Pagani came right back with a limited-edition roadster version of his already exclusive supercar using the 7.3-liter V12 from the C12-S. The drop-top Zonda featured several important changes to help it maintain the performance of the original models.
