Fernando Alonso has been filmed in Monaco taking delivery of a bespoke Pagani Zonda 760 Roadster Diamante Verde, a one-off hypercar reportedly worth about $11.7 million.
Videos circulating online showed the Aston Martin Formula 1 driver receiving the car at the Port of Monaco before later being seen driving it through the principality’s streets. The car is identified across reports as a unique Zonda 760 Roadster Diamante Verde, making it one of the rarest additions yet to Alonso’s already notable collection.
Mechatronick, the German company reported to have handled the delivery, confirmed the handover in an Instagram post. The company said it had returned to Monaco for “yet another special delivery, this time delivering the outstanding Pagani Zonda Diamante Verde,” and added that it was “very proud that it has found its new home with none other than motorsport legend @fernandoalo_oficial.”
The technical details underline why the car has drawn so much attention. The Zonda 760 Roadster Diamante Verde is reported to use a Mercedes-AMG 7.3-litre V12 producing 760 horsepower, while one account adds that it features a Carbo-Titanium chassis, an 8,000-rpm redline and barely 500 miles on the clock.
Its finish is also part of its appeal. One report says the Diamante Verde name comes from exposed carbon fibre that shows a green hue in certain light. The same account says Alonso is only the second owner, in a lineage of roughly 140 Pagani Zondas built between 1999 and 2019.
The reported purchase fits Alonso’s long-established reputation as a serious collector. Summaries of his garage say it includes or has included a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR valued at about $10 million, an Aston Martin Valkyrie, an Aston Martin DBX S and a Ferrari 512 TR. He is also reported to have sold a Ferrari Enzo in 2023 for roughly $6 million to $6.3 million.
For Alonso, the Monaco delivery adds another ultra-rare machine to a collection already operating at the very top end of the market, and reinforces his status as one of Formula 1’s most prominent enthusiasts away from the track.
