After a couple of images leaks with no details Pagani has finally release official pictures along with technical details of the upcoming street legal version of Pagani Zonda R. Called the Pagani Zonda Cinque, Pagani will build only 5 units, all of which have already been sold.

The Pagani Zonda Cinque is powered by detuned version of the 7.3L V12 engine to produce 678-hp with a peak torque of 575 lb-ft. The engine is mated to a Cima sequential 6-speed gearbox and is robotized by Automac engineering. 0-62 for the Pagani Zonda Cinque comes in 3.4 seconds while 0-124 takes 9.6 seconds.

Performance is enhanced with an ABS by Bosch, traction control and carbon-ceramic self ventilated Brembo brakes - front 380×34mm 6 piston calipers and rear 380×34mm 4 piston calipers. All that stopping power allows the Pagani Zonda Cinque to go from 62-0 in 2.1 seconds and 124-0 in 4.3 seconds.

Pricing starts at €800,000 (or $1,246,599 USD).

The Pagani Zonda is a supercar produced by Pagani in Italy. It debuted in 1999 and continues through the present, with production proceeding at roughly 25 cars per year. As of December, 2005, 60 Zondas had been built. It is a mid-engined 2-seat coupe and convertible. Construction is mainly of carbon fiber.

Some early Zonda engineering was done by Formula One champion, Juan Manuel Fangio. The car was originally to be named for him, the "Fangio F1", but the name was changed upon his death in 1995, renamed after an air current above Argentina.

Here are the latest renderings of Pagani’s Zonda R. Even though the Italian company has produced the amazing Zonda F that lacks no performance with its driving time of 7:32 around the Nurburgring, Pagani wanted to set a new target for an ultimate performance racetrack car with out any rules besides safety.
With the help of Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division Pagani hopes to fit a 7.3 liter V12 engine that is capable of producing 750 horsepower.
Pagani says that the Zonda R is designed from scratch taking only 10% of the Zonda F components. The Pagani Zonda R consists of a suspension made in Avional, a new Pagani six speed transversal sequential gearbox, carbon fiber monocoque and a aeronautical four pump fuel tank.

The company plans to build only 6 units with pricing set around €1.2 million+ taxes.
