Zonda Cinque Roadster revealed

Pagani has released the final Zonda - the Zonda Cinque Roadster

Pagani are now very nearly at the end of the Zonda run. But, just like all car makers, they’ve managed to squeeze a seemingly endless number of iterations out of the model. From the original Zonda C12, through the Zonda F Coupe, Zonda F Roadster, Zonda R and Zonda Cinque, plus of course a number of ‘Specials’ for clients, Pagani has managed to get their money’s worth out of the Zonda over its 10 year life. And now comes what will be (probably) the last Zonda – The Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.

We already know how rigid the Zonda is from the Zonda F Roadster, so Pagani haven’t had to add half a ton of iron girders to the Cinque to compensate for chopping the top off. So you will still have a car that can deliver 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds from its 678bhp V12 Mercedes-sourced engine, and on up to almost 220mph.

Just like the Coupe Cinque, only five Cinque Roadsters will be built (Cinque – Five – gettit?!) and each will set back their lucky owner €1.1 million + tax. They are a road-going version of the track-only Zonda R, which was itself officially revealed in January.

With the Zonda Cinque Roadster finally bringing the Zonda’s run to an end (unless Horacio Pagani can come up with any more iterations) we can soon turn our attention to the next Pagani – the Pagani C9 – which will be Pagani’s first ‘World Car’ when it starts to hit the roads late in 2010 / early 2011.
