2010 Pagani ZONDA Cinque Roadster

NEWS & REVIEWS The Pagani road car model range would not be complete without a Roadster version of the Zonda Cinque. As the name implies it is created in the Modenese Atelier in a limited production run of merely five exclusive pieces like its coupé sister. All weight reduction measures adopted by Pagani to improve driving pleasure, performance and emission of the Zonda Cinque have found use in the Cinque Roadster as well. The Carbon-Titanium chassis has been redesigned for the compensation of a missing roof. The Cinque experience is enhanced with the roof stored in the front bonnet, when the storm of air being fed to the 678-hp Mercedes AMG V12 engine through the massive intake just inches over the passengers’ ears, accompanies the exhaust note of the bespoke Zonda Cinque Inconel and Titanium exhaust system. Whether you opt for a relaxed country drive in Tuscany’s hills, visiting Florence and other centers of the Italian Renaissance, or a record hunt at the Nürburgring, this 1.3 milion Euro + taxes jewel will reward with every day drivability and ultimate performance thanks to the different drive modes of the sequential robotized gearbox and an adjustable suspension setup that feels at home as well at the racetrack as on bumpy roads. The constant efforts of Horacio Pagani and his team show once again how art and engineering can be combined in the Zonda Cinque Roadster.

2009 Pagani ZONDA R

NEWS & REVIEWS A Pagani Zonda is never shy of a drive at the racetrack, a fact that was undermined numerous times in the past with records for production vehicles at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. With the input of its avid track focused customers, the Pagani team has created the Zonda R using bespoke engineering solutions to meet the performance demands for a trackday version of the highly popular Zonda F. The central monocoque is made of a Carbon-Titanium composite, increasing rigidity while reducing significantly the weight. Bolted directly to the chassis is the Mercedes AMG 6.0 litre race derived V12 engine, with 750 hp and 710 Nm of torque. A direct throttle actuation via mechanical cable ensures immediate throttle response. The Xtrac Magnesium cased dog ring gearbox combined with tha Automac Engineering AMT system performs gearshifts in 20ms, triggered by the drivers input on the paddles behind the steering wheel. A 12-way Bosch Motorsport traction control and ABS system allows the driver to fully adjust the settings while driving the Zonda R. At the pits, each driver will be able to find a suitable setup thanks to a fully adjustable suspension and wing configuration. The effectiveness of the rear is matched by a complex new front bonnet, a masterpiece realised with the help of models by Ennegi, as well as the closed underbody and rear diffusor. Aerodynamic setups rage from a high downforce setting of 1.500kg to a 350kmh top speed setting. Aspa forged AvionAl suspension components as well as machined structural ErgAl parts holding the engine and gearbox have been designed to reduce the weight of the overall car, Poggipolini Titanium screws are used on the whole car. These measures lead to a dry weight of 1,070 kg. The interior has been designed to offer a perfect environment for the driver. The controls are limited to the indispensable, but the quality finish reflects the usual demanding Pagani standards. The bespoke Toora seats are FIA homologated and comply to latest HANS standards, five-point safety belts and a CrMo roll-cage assure the occupants’ safety. The lucky owners of the Zonda R will experience a level of performance on the track, that is simply not possible on the road. A power-to-weight ratio of 701 hp-per-ton will catapult them from 0 to 60 mph in less than 2,7 seconds, the Brembo carbon ceramic brakes ensure the car comes to a standstill even quicker. The Zonda R is built in a limited production run and sold at a price of 1.460.000 Euro plus taxes, a performance machine, a track toy, a collectors item, a masterpiece signed by Horacio Pagani.

2008 Pagani ZONDA R

NEWS & REVIEWS While we certainly cannot say the Zonda F lacks performance figures, driving around the Nrburgring in 7:32 and achieving lateral G forces of almost 1.5 G, it is however a road car, easy to drive, intuitive and setting the benchmark for comfort, safety and lightweight. Paired with a quality finish and the attention to detail this made the Zonda F one of the most desirable supercars resulting in the 25 Coup models being sold out in record time. This did not seem to fulfil the requirements of our most demanding customers, who adore the weekend drive on a racetrack. The spark has been set by an Italo-American customer, enthusiast and already proud owner of 3 Zondas. He describes the project this way: The thought has been on my mind for quite some time, but I am not interested in racing. The Zonda R is born with full liberty. The target: the ultimate performance at the racetrack without any implications of rules, except for safety, where no compromise is allowed. In September 2006 the first drawings were ready, but it was crucial to have the support of Mercedes-AMG for a high revving engine with a power output of 750hp, dry sump, light and with a low centre of gravity. The basis was the self supporting engine of the mighty CLK GTR, which has dominated the GT championships. Even at constant racing pace the engine would have to cover over 5.000 km before servicing. The challenge has been accepted without hesitation. The Zonda R is a car designed from scratch, with only 10% of the Zonda F components to be carried over. The suspension forged in Avional, a new Pagani six speed transversal sequential gearbox, carbon fibre monocoque, aeronautical four pump fuel tank are only part of the equation. The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length by 394 mm and the track is increased by 50mm. The bodywork and aerodynamics have been studied to offer maximum downforce. Even though built for the track, the project would not have received kick off, if the quality and finish of the car and its details was not up to the level of the Pagani road cars. One of the first cars to be delivered however will be kept in a living room, designed by Pagani and built with the same materials as the Zonda F, beautifully textured carbon fibre, avional, titanium, inconel and other state of the art materials. Additionally it will feature a bespoke HiFi System that will allow the customer to listen to the sound of this car at Le Mans and the Nrburgring. The Pagani customers who have ordered the Zonda R will be relieved of almost 1.2 million + taxes. PHOTOS: click photos to enlarge

NEWS & REVIEWS Roll up, roll up. If you’ve got a spare $655,000 burning a hole in your chinos, you can—if you’re quick—snap up one of the final five Zonda F Roadsters.

2007 Pagani ZONDA F ROADSTER

NEWS & REVIEWS If there’s one drawback to owning a Pagani Zonda F supercar, it’s that with the coupe body, you just can’t hear the full, explosive sound track of the car’s 650-hp 7.3-liter V-8, as it thunders towards its redline. Not unless you crank down the windows, which isn’t recommended at 215 mph. But all that changes with the breathtaking Zonda F Roadster—the world’s most exclusive, and expensive, open-top supercar. Just 25 are destined to be built, each one costing a credit-card-melting $655,000. Like the coupe, the Roadster is powered by the latest 7.3-liter version of Mercedes’s AMG quad-valve V-12.

2006 Pagani ZONDA F CLUBSPORT

NEWS & REVIEWS In the rarified world of supercars, just enough power is never enough. In the case of Pagani Automobili, when you have a 7.3-liter Mercedes-AMG V-12 cranking out just 555 bhp, you know, with work, it can do a lot better. So, by focusing on getting it to breathe deeper, Pagani’s engineers in Italy have been able to squeeze out another 100 bhp. This new big horsepower V-12 is used to power the new $554,000 Zonda F Clubsport—650 bhp, 576 lb-ft of torque, and the ability to lunge from rest to 60 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds and to 214 flat out. New bigger wheels and tires enhance the car’s ability to scream round curves even further, while shedding an extra 44 pounds adds to the car’s agility. As with all Paganis, the F features a carbon-fiber chassis and carbon body panels, and has the handling to match the bench-mark McLaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo. Don’t fancy a coupe? For ’06 Pagani is building a run of just forty open-topped Zonda Roadsters, featuring a new carbon-fiber chassis to replace the stiffness lost by chop-ping the top. It’s powered by the 555-bhp AMG V-12 but costs the same as the F. PHOTOS: click photos to enlarge
