Pagani to make five street legal versions of the Zonda R
Back in February, we opined the fact that the production Pagani Zonda R, a track-only carbon fiber supercar powered by a 750-horsepower V12 to go along with its 1.2 million euro price tag, didn't make the trek to Geneva. It seemed at the time that there just weren't enough orders for the vehicle for Pagani to be able to offer it. That issue could soon be rectified, if rumors floating around on the Teamspead forums prove accurate. It seems that five roadgoing versions of the Zonda R will be created, known as the Zonda Cinque, which, appropriately enough, means five in Italian. Could this version of the Zonda be what we've seen testing in spy shots these last few months? It's hard to say for certain, but we do detect the pairs of triple headlights on both the spied cars and the supposed image above of the Cinque. Draw your own conclusions, but we think there is always room for another carbon fiber supercar in our dream garages.

pretty sure you cant opine a fact. stating as an opinion the fact that the zonda R didnt make the trek to Geneva?
still, a nice looking car but more purpose built for the track than the street

Let me be the first to tell you..
No, you couldn't.

..unless, by some disruption in time and space landed you on the Nurburgring next to one of the weathly novices that will ultimately own 1/5 of the collection. And you happened to be channeling Ayrton Senna at the moment.
Then, once again, no, you couldn't.

Zonda R > FXX
Darth Vader would drive the Zonda R.
Michael Schumacher can keep his FXX.
As stated below, the other 3 will go to Abu Dhabi, etc.

The worst part is that three of those are going to be garaged forever, and of the two that will be driven, one will be crashed.

and four of the five will be in Saudi arabia

Only because the one in Abu Dhabi will be only one of Prince Wazoo's 50-odd supercars, none of which he ever drives.
Michael 1:33PM (5/30/2008)
Not really. Abu Dhabi maybe. The wrecked one will be in the States though.
Chad 1:28PM (5/30/2008)
Mmmmmm. Zonda. If I could have any car I think that would be it.
