From the racetrack to the road
Zonda Cinque is the response of the Pagani atelier to a specific request submitted by the official Hong Kong dealer:
“The most extreme road–legal Zonda ever created”
This instantly recognizable supercar, created to meet the demand of five wealthy enthusiasts, is a genuine work of art intended for road use. Built to meet the highest racetrack performance standards, the Pagani team also uses the same know-how and engineering solutions previously applied to the Zonda R.
Innovations
A wider front splitter, an adjustable rear spoiler and a modified rear flat underbody and slide, meet with the requirement for an aerodynamic load of 750 Kg when the car is raced beyond 300 km/h boosted by a V12 Mercedes-AMG 678 CV engine able to unleash up to 780Nm.
The air suction system is equipped with new air inlets located in the roof and rear bonnet, and serve the function of feeding the engine and enhancing the airflow to the brake discs and the entire wheel hub group. The Pirelli Pzero tyres, exclusively dedicated and developed for the Pagani team, encase the new wheels forged with aluminium mono nuts and titanium bolts and nuts. The latter material was selected and used with the aim of reducing unsuspended masses. Moreover, thanks to the most recent research carried out by Öhlins on Pagani’s specifications, the spring/shock absorber group is developed and produced in ergal and titanium. The Zonda Cinque is the first road-legal car to feature a carbon-titanium frame and is also the first Zonda ever to mount a 6-gear sequential transmission that offers the driver uncompromised driving performance, with improved gear shift movement when cruising at high speed, and lightness and comfort when driving in the traffic.
Interior details: the mirror of the soul
The double - front nature of the supercar that was designed for the racetrack and which is now ready to hit the road, is reflected in the sophisticated interior, with details that reveal its sporty character. The Zonda Cinque gives clear details of its heritage that traces straight back to the Zonda R, with its leather seats equipped with 4 point seat belts and Pagani carbon monocoque, and last but not least, the carbon coated molybdenum-chrome steel roll bars. The design of the control devices, also inspired to the racetrack - such as the ergonomic levers located behind the steering wheel – aim at providing the highest levels of precision and total immersion in driving pleasure.
