The word "cinque," as in Pagani Cinque, means "five." The newest Pagani is the road-legal version of the racetrack-only Pagani Zonda R, and there will sadly be but five of them made for which all are already spoken. Not that we would have bought one, but it would have been nice to have had the opportunity.
The Cinque, with 678 horsepower and 575 lb. ft. of torque will teleport from 0-to-60 in 3.4 seconds, and at 186 MPH the car creates more than half its own weight in downforce. It also gets a sequential 6-speed transmission, and you can flick through the gears with paddles or a gear shift on the center console. That console and the racing buckets that face it will probably be made entirely of carbon fiber.
Pagani has created a bespoke titanium and carbon fiber material that means the Cinque weighs 40 pounds less than the Zonda F. Weight savings are also achieved with titanium monobloc wheels, as well as the magnesium and titanium Ohlins suspension. It is the very definition of a supercar: fast, light, rare, hot. Be sure to check out the new gallery of hi-res photos of the Pagani Cinque below, because that's probably as close as you'll ever get to one.

in the definition of a super car you forgot "will remove your head from your body in 3 milliseconds if you do not respect it"
Iam going to follow TopGears thing of calling this a hyper car as well. Danngggg

With that much power, down force and probably mechanical grip from the chassis and tires, it might actually be really fast around corners as well, so it is a supercar by Top Gear definition
Although the price, whatever it may be, puts it firmly in hypercar territory
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jun 9th 2008 11:28AM
Indeed, this is an actual supercar. Brutally fast, exotic and unobtainable by virtually everyone. Good to see the moniker applied to a proper supercar for once instead of an M3.

Another dream car becomes a reality.
