📖Generation guide
Zonda HP Barchetta • 2017+
Only three units produced with bespoke carbon-Titanium HP composite structure and a 7.3L naturally-aspirated V12 engine. This model exclusively features open-top barchetta styling, emphasizing its unique and limited nature within the Pagani lineage.
Known issues by generation
The Zonda HP Barchetta, with its AMG M120-derived 7.3L V12 engine, requires periodic timing-chain services at 60-80k miles, necessitating factory-trained technicians for optimal care. Ensuring the AMG-handcrafted-engine signature plate aligns with the vehicle's VIN and Pagani build-card is essential, as discrepancies could invalidate the model's collector value. The bespoke transmission, whether sequential or gated-manual, mandates exclusive service through the Pagani Atelier, further underscoring the model's unique care requirements.
Donation value by condition + generation
This ultra-rare coachbuilt one-off Zonda HP Barchetta commands significant value due to its production scarcity, with just three examples globally. Verification of the marque-archives build-card and commissioning-receipt documentation is critical in establishing authenticity and provenance. A matching-numbers engine block and original paint authentication are imperative for maintaining collector interest, especially for low-mileage examples. Historical significance and the exclusive nature of each Zonda HP Barchetta, especially with Horacio Pagani's personal car included, elevate its value within the collector's market.
Donation process for this model
Donating a Zonda HP Barchetta requires meticulous adherence to appraisal guidelines, demanding a qualified-appraiser with top-tier credentials.

Ensuring all archival documentation, including the Pagani Atelier build-card, is present and accurate, is essential for the legitimacy of the donation.
