After unveiling the Zonda Cinque which is essentially a street legal version of the track day special Zonda R limited to an ultra exclusive production run of only 5 units. The Italian super car makers have just added a new image gallery of the Pagani Zonda Cinque.
The Zonda Cinque is powered by a tuned version of the 7.3 Liter twin turbocharged AMG V12 to produce a peak output of 678 HP and 575 lb-ft of torque. For the first time the Zonda will feature a sequentially shifted gearbox. The Cima 6 speed gearbox also helps to shave about 40 pounds off the finished product. The power train package means that the Cinque is good for a 0 to 60 MPH sprint of just 3.4 seconds and will hit 200 km/h in just 9.6 seconds from a standstill. Each one of the 5 road going Zonda Cinques are priced at $1,246,599.
The Italian super car manufacturer who relies on Mercedes Benz for their power plants, Pagani, has just unleashed an all new roadster version of the stunning Zonda R. The new Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster, as it is known, will be a very valuable commodity, limited to only 5 units priced at 1.3 million Euro each.
Behind the driver’s head in the Pagani Cinque Roadster is a hand built twin turbocharged AMG V12 engine that makes 678 HP. That tremendous amount of power lets the rocket ship inspired vehicle to sprint to 60 MPH from a standstill in just 3.4 seconds and hit 200 km/h in under ten seconds and it won’t stop until it reaches a top speed of 217 MPH.
As the coupe version, the roadster features a ceramic-coated titanium exhaust system, the same magnesium/aluminum rims and the same magnesium/titanium suspension.
The Pagani Zonda R is the hottest version that the Italian super car manufacturer has to offer right now and was seen stretching its legs just outside of the factory. From the sound of things, it seems that speed limits don’t apply to Pagani owners. Don’t be discouraged by the beautiful white Zonda F in the first few seconds of the video. The black beast shows up around 00:30 and trust us, you won’t miss it.
If you are English businessman Peter Saywell, you get a one-off Pagani. Combining the power of Germany with the style of Italy, the Pagani Zonda is already a magnificent automobile, and quite a solid investment. So to have a custom Zonda is all the more to boast about. Saywell’s Pagani Zonda PS features unique touches like a modified exhaust, a redesigned diffuser similar to the Cinque, but unlike the the limited edition Pagani, the PS has none of the extra air vents on the wheel arches and even underwent a roof scoop delete.
This could be the Zonda that has gotten the best of both worlds.
Before you hit play, we here at Top Speed recommend finding a comfortable chair, turning up the volume on your computer, then sit back, relax and enjoy.
At 180 MPH the hand built AMG motor in the Italian Pagani Zonda F Roadster sounds absolutely amazing! The super car from Modena is powered by a 7.3 Liter V12 from Mercedes Benz’s in house tuners AMG, and produces 650 HP. The Group C inspired Zonda can run from 0 to 60 MPH in only 3.6 seconds, and won’t stop until it reaches a top speed of 215 MPH.
Although the world is in a current economic state of turmoil, and most investments are rapidly losing their worth, it is nice to see that one automaker’s work is appreciating in value. One of the keys to the Italian super car builder Pagani’s success is their consistently limited production numbers.
When the original C12 was launched almost a decade ago, it was listed for £200k, and with only four being made, ensure that there would always be a healthy supply v. demand curve for the original 12 cylinder Italian super car. Two years later when the C12 S was being offered for £330k, Pagani only made just 31 examples of the even faster C12.
We may have seen the Pagani Zonda R in the flesh in Geneva, but we missed out on the all the little mechanical bits. Plus we’re always looking for a good excuse to show video on this 750 hp supercar.
The economy definitely has changed. Back in June, when we first heard about the Pagani Zonda Cinque the rumored price was €800,000. Now that the car has made its premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, Pagani has put the ultra-rare (5 units), ultra-fast supercar at an ultra-high price. The Zonda Cinque’s price has now doubled to €1.6million (or about $2 million at the current rates).
The Zonda Cinque is basically a Zonda R, but is road legal. Just like the Zonda R, the Zonda Cinque will share little parts with the similar-looking Zonda F. Some of the main elements that distinguish the Cinque from the F will be the improved aerodynamics in front and the intake scoop on the roof. It is powered by a V12 engine that delivers 678 hp.
We’ve been getting excited about the Pagani Zonda R coming to Geneva, but as it turns out the track-only car will have to share Pagani’s stage. The Zonda Cinque will also peek its head at the motor show this week.
The Zonda Cinque is basically a Zonda R with the production numbers halved (five total expected) and is road legal. Just like the Zonda R, the Zonda Cinque will share little parts with the similar-looking Zonda F. Some of the main elements that distinguish the Cinque from the F will be the improved aerodynamics in front and the intake scoop on the roof.
More power is also expected for this latest road-going Zonda. 678 hp from a V12 engine was first reported back in June, but since the Zonda R makes 750 hp, we may be able to expect more from the Cinque. We’ll get all our answers later this week in Geneva.
Last week we saw images on the track of the 750 hp Zonda R. Now is time to see the full video from that session with the track-only car at the Monza race track in Italy.
