The Zonda R comes with a Mercedes-Benz AMG 6.0-liter racing V12 bolted straight to the chassis and generating 750 hp and 710 Nm of torque. Instantaneous throttle response is achieved through a direct throttle actuation utilizing a mechanical cable. Through a steering wheel-mounted shift paddle, the driver is able to shift gears at speeds of 20 milliseconds made possible through a dog ring gearbox incased in Xtrac Magnesium and paired with the Automac AMT system. The driver can also totally adapt the settings of the Zonda R while driving through a 12-way Bosch Motorsport traction control and ABS system.

In order to add more power to the Zonda F engineers equipped it with a new induction system that replaces the unit by Mercedes-Benz. It features intake apertures and when it is mixed with the larger hydro formed exhaust the 7.3 liter engine can push out 620 bhp.
