Known issues by generation

The Zonda HP Barchetta, an ultra-exclusive model, does come with specific maintenance considerations.

The bespoke transmission, whether sequential or gated-manual, also mandates Pagani Atelier servicing, highlighting the importance of authenticity in service records. Furthermore, any damage to the carbon-Titanium composite chassis requires specialized restoration through Pagani's San Cesario facility, as non-factory repairs could significantly affect the vehicle's collector value.
