A 10 million euro car

In terms of performance, this Zonda Pagani developed no less than 750 horsepower thanks to a reinforced 7.3-liter V12 engine. Lewis Hamilton parted ways with it in 2021, when he sold it to an undisclosed Briton. The sale price had reached an insane sum. While the pilot had acquired it for 1.8 million euros, it was sold for 10 million euros.

Today, unfortunately, not much remains. Photos posted by photographer Ethan Gale show how badly it was damaged. The nature of the accident explains this deplorable state: it is bumped into a wall high speed. Obviously, this accident should not surprise Lewis Hamilton. He had, in fact, declared that his Zonda was “terrible to drive”.
