First of five Pagani Zonda Cinque supercars needs a home

Click above for a hi-res gallery of the Pagani Zonda Cinque
When an exotic automaker comes out with an exclusive supercar whose production doesn't even reach double digits, we know our chances of ever seeing one are extremely limited. Actually getting the opportunity to buy one would seem just as elusive, but one example of the hyper-rare Pagani Zonda Cinque has popped up online for sale.
In case you (like the rest of us) have trouble keeping track of all the different versions of the Zonda that have appeared, the Zonda Cinque is an ultra-exclusive version of an already exclusive supercar. Essentially a roadgoing version of the track-only Zonda R, Pagani is only making five examples for a small group of buyers that could evidently include you. It packs a 678-horsepower AMG V12, features the company's first sequential transmission and trims some 40 pounds off the standard car's curb weight. And one – the very first one, according to the listing – is apparently available for purchase via JamesList from Freilassing, Germany, for the modest price of 1.6 million euros (a bit more than $2 million in American greenbacks). If you've got that kind of cash sitting around and have any unmarried daughters, please contact us immediately. But if you want to get your hands on the Zonda Cinque, act with a quickness, as this is probably the only chance you are going to get.

IMHO the Zonda is possibly the prettiest car ever built - specifically the roadster.
Why can't, say, Ford just build a knockoff with an EcoTec and sell it for $50gs?

What should be the "real" price of a car like this?
Incredible amounts of money people are being asked for exclusivity...

That is expensive. :( But what a fantastic looking car, as ever from my favourite supercar maker. Long live Horacio Pagani! All Hail the Zonda!

This can't be the first one for sale, the first one already has an owner in Hong Kong. I know this for a fact.

I saw the most expensive car list and the last Zonda edition was the 2nd or 3rd most expensive in the world...so this can't be cheaper than it's predecessors...Anyways, it looks freakingly awesome !!

I don't know anything about your driving prowess, but +1. Let's hope these end up in the hands of people who know how to drive them...
