Spy Shots: Pagani C9 test mule heads for the hills

While Pagani continues to roll out special editions of the outgoing Zonda, we've been seeing just as many spy shots of its replacement undergoing development testing coming in. This latest batch, however, just might be the best look we've had at the new C9 yet.

Expected to launch sometime next year, the highly anticipated new Pagani supercar is expected to feature a 6.0-liter V12 custom built for the niche Italian automaker by Mercedes' AMG performance division, packing some 700 horsepower. This batch of spy shots was snapped while the test prototype – camouflaged with duct tape but wearing its own gull-winged sheetmetal – was undergoing high-altitude testing somewhere in Southern Europe. Have a closer look in the high-resolution image gallery below.
