Only a handful of Pagani Zondas have ever been made and they are one of the most prestigious supercars.
Amazingly, the 2014 Pagani Zonda 760 LM Roadster has now become the most expensive ever purchased.
It was part of a limited run of 16 cars that were built on existing chassis.
The supercar can do an impressive 206mph and 0-60mph in just 3.3 second.
It also boasts 760bhp.
F1 race ace Lewis Hamilton had one made for him, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
The motor was purchased on Sunday (1 Dec) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
A spokesperson for RM Sotheby’s, who hosted the sale, said: “The star of the show was undoubtedly the 2014 Pagani Zonda LM Roadster, which attracted interest from collectors from around the world.
“One of the most coveted derivatives of Pagani’s Zonda, this one-off example was produced by Horacio Pagani to the exacting specifications of its consigning owner, including stunning clear lacquered bare-carbon bodywork.
“With its Zonda RevoluciÃłn-inspired rear wing and a Tricolore exhaust outlet, this astonishing car fetched a world record price, with interest coming in from the room, online, and over the phones.”
Peter Wallman, Chairman for Europe, the Middle East and Africa for the auctioneers, said: “Once again, we have proven the strength of the Dubai market with our second successive and hugely successful Dubai auction.
“Breaking four world records is a great result, and we continue to demonstrate that RM Sotheby’s is serious about breaking ground in the Middle East.
“We look forward to continuing to immerse ourselves in this brilliant, petrolhead-rich car culture for many years to come.”
