Tarmacworks Pagani Zonda Cinque FEATURETTE
Art in absolute perfection!
The Pagani Zonda Cinque was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva International Motor Show with the intention of creating the most extreme road-going version of the entire range - limited to just five examples. The Cinque is a special version of the 2008 Zonda from Italian carmaker Pagani, embodying the road-going variant of the Zonda R. To achieve the downforce of 750 kg at 300 km/h, the Cinque was equipped with a new front spoiler, a newly designed adjustable rear wing and flat underbody. Many aerodynamic features were taken from the Zonda R, such as the air intakes on the bonnet and roof. It was the first road car to feature a Carbo Titanium centre structure and is now considered the most iconic of the San Cesario sul Panaro atelier's creations.
Even more radical!
The series of road-going Zondas would not be complete without a roadster version of the Zonda Cinque. As the name suggests, the Roadster was intended for a limited production of just five exclusive pieces. Apart from the removable roof, the car had the same features of the Zonda Cinque. The Roadster is built on a monocoque of carbon fibre and titanium. This was redesigned to compensate for the missing roof without adding weight to the car.
The Cinque model
The Zonda Cinque was produced especially for the Hong Kong-based dealer SPS Automotive Performance. With only 5 cars available, the Zonda Cinque is one of the rarest cars of all time. The original price of the car was around 1.4 million dollars, today the value of a Zonda Cinque is estimated at over 10 million dollars.
The Cinque, as in all models of the Zonda, was powered by a V12 mid-engine from Mercedes-AMG, which produced 678 hp and accelerated the 1210 kg car from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. The top speed is over 350 km/h. In addition, the Cinque is the first Zonda with a sequential gearstick, which can be operated with the paddles on the steering wheel or with the gear lever. Previous Zonda models, such as the Zonda F, were still operated by manual gearshift.
Models from Tarmacworks
The model car manufacturer Tarmacworks has released several Pagani models since 2021, including the successor to the Zonda, the Pagani Huayra or Pagani Huayra BC. In addition to several Zonda R colour variants and special versions, Tarmacworks also sold the Zonda Cinque to collectors. Over a period of about one and a half years, all 5 colour variants of the Zonda Cinque were released. After Verde Firenze (green), Bianco Benny (white), Arancio Saint Tropez (orange), Giallo Limone (yellow), the last colour variant now comes into play: Rosso Dubai.
Each of these models has the special feature of being able to remove the bonnet. This gives us a perfect view of the V12 mid-engine from Mercedes-AMG as well as the central exhaust tailpipe system of the Zonda Cinque. The model is available for purchase in our shop (click on "Store" in the navigation bar above) or directly here for collectors from abroad...
