Jeremy vs the Zonda R: exclusive DVD outtake

Warning: the noise this car makes will make you spontaneously combust.

This is the Pagani Zonda R, and that man behind the wheel is Jeremy Clarkson. His new DVD - 'The Italian Job' - is out shortly, and in it, he attempts to tame the hardest, fastest and shoutiest Pagani Zonda ever built.

Regular readers of TopGear.com will know the Zonda R is a tough cookie. It lapped the 'Ring in 6m 47s, and looks pretty awesome. And you'll be seeing a lot more of it in the next issue of Top Gear magazine, out later this week...

But in the meantime, watch Jezza drive it:

In case you've forgotten, you can place pre-orders for the first-ever Jeremy Clarkson double-disc DVD The Italian Job here, featuring the Atom V8, Porsche GT3, Lambo Superleggera LP570-4 and Ferrari 599 GTO going through their paces at Imola. Plus Jeremy's debut in classic touring car racing in a beautiful little Escort California.

The Italian Job is out on 15 November. If you missed them, here's last week's glimpse at the mental Ariel Atom V8 and the Mercedes SLS, and here's the full trailer.
