Yummy, you may not want to see this..
Each time one of these million dollar supercars falls by the wayside, the remaining few increase in value.
Photos of a sad-looking Pagani Zonda F have just come our way, but there's really nothing else to go on apart from these distressing images.Big up to Flickr user bigmuse who posted the photos of the crash that took place near Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong.Thankfully the driver wasn't injured in the accident and reports at the scene are that the car isn't a complete write-off and should make a full recovery after investing in some serious repair work.
This is the second time that one of the 25 Zonda F hypercars has crashed in Hong Kong, and the only people who could possibly take pleasure from this are other Zonda F owners who see their cars appreciate in value each time another model meets its maker.

What does being Russian have to do with a car accident in Hong Kong?
Glad that the driver is okay, but it sucks to have one less of these beauties on the road, at least for a while. Hopefully, the repairmen do a perfect job. It's one thing with a commuter car is repaired to a low standard, it's completely different when it's something like this.

It has to do with dealing with salvaged cars and rebuilding them... they stated it wasn't a write off.

Back on topic, for a $1.3 million dollar vehicle, it doesn't look like a total loss. Definitely some rear support and structral damage, but the whole cockpit, doors, glass, engine look alright.

Don't kid yourselves. It will always be fucked up. No matter how much money they spend or who puts it back together.

^Obviously does not realize the process the supercar makers go through to repair these cars.

I can appreciate the performance of a Zonda, but I can't get past how butt ugly it is. I'd rather drive a 4G TL.

Is that the #1 profession for a Russian in the US? Here is VA all used car dealerships that are Russian owned, all cars are salvage cars put back together. They do a real good job piecing them back though!

Portland's east side car dealers are full of Russians and man can they butcher a car back together. We had a silver Civic (well that's what it started life as) with the following Russian Rebuild characteristics:
Even one of the receptionists who doesn't know jack about cars saw it and said, "What the f***?!?"
- Paint runs all over the body
- Radiator support beam pushed back at least six inches; radiator was pretty much forced on
- Poor quality hand-weld marks covering the entire passenger side door frame
- Misaligned hood, fenders and doors
- Paint in the engine compartment
- VIN tag clearly tampered with
- Numerous warning lights on
- Numerous electrical faults
- Extra parts in the trunk
- And the thing that killed us about this car....the steering wheel was on UPSIDE DOWN
