Unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Show, the Zonda Roadster showcased unparalleled elegance. It featured an enhanced AMG 7.3-liter V-12 engine, crafted by hand, and boasted a removable carbon-fiber roof panel. The car rode on forged aluminum, 19-inch alloy wheels paired with ultra low-profile Michelin tires, measuring 255 mm in the front and 335 mm in the rear. The bespoke design of these tires was a testament to Michelin’s dedication to this extraordinary machine.
