The Zonda C12 debuted at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. It was powered by a 5,987 cc (365 cu in) Mercedes-Benz M120 V12 engine producing 389 hp (290 kW; 394 PS) at 5200 rpm and 420 lb·ft (569 N·m) at 3800 rpm mated to a 5-speed manual transmission gearbox.Just five of the original 6.0 L Zondas were built, though it was still available in 2002 when the C12 S debuted. One was used for crash testing, while another was a demonstrator and show car. The remainder were delivered to customers during the next three years, priced at US$320,000.The C12 could accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.2 seconds and hit 100 mph (160 km/h) in 9.2 seconds. Acceleration through the quarter mile was 12.2 seconds at 123 mph (198 km/h). Lateral acceleration on the skidpad was 0.93 g, and the car could brake from 60 mph (97 km/h) in 110 feet (34 m).
