[Live image update] Pagani Zonda Cinque

03/03/2009, 8:44 AM

By Drew Johnson

The Pagani Zonda R is one of the most radical cars on the planet — in terms of sheer performance and overall design — but it does have one drawback: it’s for the track only. How are you supposed to show off your €1.2 million ride if you can’t even drive it around the block? But Zonda looks to remedy this shortcoming with a Zonda R for the streets.

Dubbed the Zonda Cinque, Pagani’s latest supercar promises extreme performance for the street. The Zonda Cinque will be powered by the same 7.3L V12 found in the Zonda R — albeit detuned from 750 horsepower to 678 — and will also wear the Zonda R’s carbon fiber body, the combination of which will see the Cinque accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds.

Braking is equally as breathtaking — thanks to massive Brembo brakes — taking just 2.1 seconds to haul the car down from 62 mph.

Power is put to the ground via a six-speed sequential gearbox and Pirelli PZero tires — size 255/35-19 up front and 335/30-20 in the rear.

A suspension crafted from magnesium and titanium and a 47/53 weight balance will help the supercar achieve 1.24 g on the skidpad.

And compared to the Zonda R, the Cinque is even a relative deal at €800,000 (equivalent to about $1.24 million). However, there is a catch. Whereas Pagani promised a Zonda R production run of 10 units the Cinque, as the Italian name implies, will see an even shorter production run. Five, to be exact — all of which are spoken for.

Nothing wrong with a street legal Zonda. Red light to speeding ticket in 3.4 seconds.

Horacio Pagani is still, the most brilliant exotic car mastermind in the world.
