With only five units to be built by Pagani to end the beloved Zonda series, which started in 2002, all Zonda Cinque are already pre-sold to uber-wealthy Zonda lovers. However, the first Cinque, will be a bit special, with a price tag of a whopping € 1,600,000 ($2,043,944 USD).
Behind the dizzying list price, is a true Italian thoroughbred supercar. The AMG 7.3L V12 now packs 678hp and 575 lb-ft of torque. That propils the Zonda Cinque to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and top out at 214 mph. Cinque model will include more carbon-fiber than any other Zonda. Also, Pagani added an air-scoop on the roof, which helps in air-flow to make the car even faster than ever.
So, although is Cinque is quite pricey, we think the last Cinque, which is also the last Zonda ever, will be even more expensive. Because next year, there'll be an all-new Pagani. Source : [jameslist]
So the car you see here, is the next generation Pagani Zonda. We can tell that by looking at the little tweaks in the exterior. Such as a redesigned front clip. At the back, the rear quarter panels have been re-sculpted to allow for significantly increased airflow. The rear diffuser has also been redesigned. Pagani also redesigned the quad exhaust pipes layout. Most important change of all, is that Pagani added a new air scoop that sticks up from the middle of the engine cover to cool the engine.
So that means the new engine gets hotter, which means the car is more powerful than the current one. However, the next generation Zonda's power plant is still a mystery. Some reporters say that it'll keep its 7.3L AMG V12. Other rumors suggest, it'll have the 5.4L supercharged V8 from the McLaren SLR 722. And some say it'll get the twin-turbo 6.0L V12 from the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series. Whatever engine it will have, power is expected to be around 700hp. This Zonda should start production sometime in the first half of 2009. If you want one, count your wallet of at least $650,000.
