The Zonda C12 S Monza debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show as a track-day version of the Zonda for private use. Borrowing its appearance cues from the Zonda GR, the Monza included many features which could also be applied to other Zonda models. A dry sump engine tuned to 637 PS (more than 440 kW) was used, and the cooling was improved. Modified aerodynamics, including a different wing and front diffuser, allowed greater speed, as did optimized gearing. The car was lighter, with polycarbonate side windows, and an unmuffled exhaust is fitted. The revised interior includes different pedals, steering wheel, and seats, as well as a reinforced roll cage. Larger brakes and a stiffer suspension also improve performance. Finally, an external fire extinguisher is included for safety. However, Top Gear tested both cars in a straight line drag race and stated that it cannot even beat a 1980s Jaguar XJ220 despite having an engine that is more than twice as large and being made from space-age materials that require complex processes to produce. Although, these results are questionable as the show did not report any timing information, the XJ220's engine is turbocharged where the Zonda's isn't (giving the same power output), and that particular episode's goal was to suggest that old generation cars are as good or better than today's.
