Destroyed! Lewis Hamilton’s former $10m Pagani Zonda wrecked in a tunnel
The Formula 1 driver had the gorgeous purple supercar made to order, but it’s going to need a huge amount of restoration work done on it after a nasty crash.
The stunning Pagani Zonda 760 LH that once belonged to Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has been found wrecked in a tunnel on a dual carriageway in North Wales. The British driver bought the majestic vehicle for around two million dollars, featuring an engine made specifically for him, but decided to get rid of it last year, making a succulent profit, as he sold it for around 10 million dollars.

But the supercar that was once the jewel in the crown of the car collection of the seven times world champion was photographed this Tuesday in a shocking state. Instagram user Ethan Gale, a super car photographer, posted the photo and was clearly absolutely distraught at the condition of the crashed car.
Seven years ago Lewis Hamilton personally commissioned Horacio Pagani for a unique car with a purple exterior. The result was a vehicle capable of reaching 220 miles per hour thanks to a 760 CV engine.

The F1 driver’s passion for cars doesn’t end when he gets out of his race car at the best circuits in the world. Hamilton is passionate about supercars and his collection boasts some serious models. His Mercedes collection includes the SLS AMG, C63 AMG Black Series, AMG GT R, a Maybach S650, a 300 SL Gullwing and a 1957 300 SL Roadster models.
The British driver also has features a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, a 1966 Shelby Cobra, a Ford GT, a Pagani Huayra, a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, a 599 SA Aperta, a McLaren P1, a McLaren 722 S, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
