2010 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster


Photo Gallery

As we’re used to saying, once in a while there comes a car that makes people stop and think. A car you have to respect even though you may not like it, and today this car is called the 2010 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster. The Cinque Roadster is the convertible version of the normal Zonda Cinque and is the most powerful and exclusive road going Pagani. Only the track bound 2009 Pagani Zonda R is more powerful. At 678hp from a 7.3 liter AMG engine, the Zonda will take you to 100km/h (62mph) in 3.4 seconds and to a top speed of 350km/h (217mph). This monster will have a Cima sequential 6-speed gearbox. The Cinque Roadster is a masterpiece of technology and carbon fiber, the aerodynamics has been completely remodeled and gives the car 750kg (1653lbs) of downforce at 300km/h (186mph). But even if you don’t care about all those specs, just take a look at the photo gallery and learn what we think is an automotive masterpiece.

Pagani Press Release

Zonda Cinque Roadster


The Pagani roadcar 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 678hp 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 centres of the Italian Renaissance, or a record hunt at the Nürburgring, this 1.3 milion Euro + taxes jewel will reward with every day driveability and ultimate performance thanks to the different drive modes of the sequential robostised 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 shows once again how art and engineering can be combined in the Zonda Cinque Roadster.
