Pagani Zonda R Evo will be debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​2012

(Cars Girls Sexy Cool) Now, if you still think Pagani zonda R or Huayra is the most powerful car in Pagani history, then Zonda R Evo that is about to debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed ??2012 will be immediately to break this myth, it will be the most evolutionary model of the Zonda R.

The new model is the successor to the Zonda R from 2009, a stripped-out and hopped-up version of the Zonda. Like the Ferrari FXX — the lighter, faster version of the Enzo — the Zonda R was a track-only model intended for racing, although it lacked the Ferrari’s super-exclusive customer racing program. The new R Evo will continue in the R’s footsteps, but Pagani engineers were able to extract 10 more horsepower from the new model, which now makes 750 hp.

The Zonda R Evo is expected to get from 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) in 2.7 seconds, a blisteringly fast time that should make it a tenth of two faster than the Zonda R. The new car’s top speed is rumored to be 218 mph.

Infiniti to Debut Running Emerg-E Prototype and Bentley a Surprise Model at the Goodwood Festival

It might not be a show in the traditional sense, but that isn't stopping carmakers from debuting new models at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed, taking place in Britain from June 28 to July 1.

Today we learn that Infiniti will perform the world premiere of the first running prototype of the UK-designed and built range-extender supercar concept, the Emerg-E, which premiered in static form at this year's Geneva Motor Show in March.

In fact, the Emerg-E will do more than show up as it will participate in the famed Goodwood hill climb alongside other cars including the Renault Alpine A110-50 Concept.

"The Festival of Speed crowds will be seeing EMERG-E in action for the first time ever, even before many of Infiniti's top executives have seen it," commented Jerry Hardcastle, Infiniti Global Chief Marketability Engineer.

The Emerg-E features a hybrid drivetrain comprising two electric motors, a lithium-ion battery pack, four inverters and a three-cylinder gasoline engine that works as a range extender for a combined output of 300kW (402HP) and zero to 60mph (100km/h) sprint time of around 4.0 seconds.

The prototype will be joined by the Infiniti FX Vettel Edition which will be driven up the hill by none other than F1 champ Sebastian Vettel.

In related news, Bentley said an "exciting new model" will make its international debut at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed, but did not elaborate further. There's a good chance, however, that the British brand will debut a new or updated model from the Continental series.

Also on show will be the company's EXP 9 F SUV concept that will make its UK premiere at Goodwood.
