2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster
Pagani developed a Roadster version of the Zonda Cinque that will be produced as a limited edition. The carmaker reduced the weight to offer more driving pleasure and the carbon-titanium chassis has been redesigned for the compensation of a missing roof. It is powered by a Mercedes AMG V12 engine that is capable of delivering 678 horsepower and 780 Nm of torque and it costs EUR1.3 million. The new Roadster is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and braking from 100 to 0 km/h can be done in 2.1 seconds. All the power produced is being sent to the wheels through a 6-speed sequential transmission robotized by Automac engineering.
