The Pagani Zonda C-12 S, also known as the Pagani Zonda, is an Exotic vehicle only available in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix. Despite it's tournament being the last to open in the Tokyo Challenge, it is possible to be acquired very early in the Detroit stage of the career mode, due to certain Class A Prize Vehicles that may be unlocked early during the said city's part of the campaign.
Along with the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve and McLaren F1 LM, the Zonda can be considered as one of the fastest cars in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, with the Zonda C-12S being the fastest overall vehicle in the game.
Description[]
The Pagani Zonda is based off its C12 version. It has a hand built 7.0L V12 developed jointly by Pagani and Mercedes tuning arm, AMG. It is the largest V12 engine ever to be used in a Pagani. Another variant with a 7.3L V12 was later developed in 2002.

Performance[]
Owing to being a prize vehicle and it's tournament's nature of being opened, it may be one of the first exotics the player acquires; due to the fact that the player can participate in the Imperial Palace Tournament before unlocking Class A vehicles since there are certain Class A prize vehicles that the player can obtain early, namely the Cadillac Cien and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R being the two possibilities of the first A-Class vehicles the player can win.
The Pagani Zonda C-12 S is tied with being the fastest vehicle in the game (the other cars are the McLaren F1 LM and the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve). Top-speed wise, despite the stats indicating the Zonda only has 94.3 top speed rating, the Zonda ties the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R for the 100 speed rating.
On the freeway, with NOS engaged in either 4th or 5th gear, the Zonda is capable of hitting speed of just under 300 mph. Although the speedometer only reads up to 250 mph.
After the top speed run, check your career stats and see your highest top speed, it goes up to 299.9 mph (483 km/h) with a tank of nitrous.
Stats[]
Despite only having a 94.3 top speed stat, the Zonda and the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve's true stats suggest a 100 Speed stat for both vehicles.

Trivia[]
- Despite the Zonda's tournament being the last tournament opened in the Tokyo Challenge, the Zonda can potentially be unlocked before the purchasable Class A vehicles. This is due to the following circumstances that allow the player to take part in the Imperial Palace Tournament, owing to it's restriction of Class A vehicles.
- The Original Riders bike club races award the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, a Class A Sports Bike. Due to the fact the player can finish all 14 Original Riders races upon opening Detroit, it is possible for the player to win the Zonda as the first Exotic vehicle that the player can obtain. Under these circumstances, it is possible for the player to obtain an Exotic car even before being introduced to the By Invitation Only club.
- Upon defeating Ceasar, the By Invitation Only grants the player the right to race in their Club Races, and due to the fact the player has likely yet to unlock Class A vehicles (as all Exotics are in Class A), the club organizes the City Tournament (Detroit) with the Cadillac Cien as the prize for the said tournament, opening up another early possibility to obtain the Zonda.
- The Zonda is the only REMIX vehicle to be used by opponents in the near-endgame portion of the game, as the other two REMIX exotics can be encountered by fully upgraded Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34)s.
- Although the Class A Sport Bikes typically encounter the high end exotics when fully upgraded, there are rare instances where the other REMIX-only exotics are faced by maxed Class A Sport Bikes, which a quad-nitro Zonda cannot encounter.
- Due to the nature of the Zonda's tournament being playable even before Class A vehicles are unlocked, the Zonda, along with the Gemballa F355, Cadillac Cien and Chrysler ME Four-Twelve can be won even before the said class is available for purchase.
- The Zonda in it's unlock video has a license plate of 3ENQ943.
