PAGANI ZONDA TRICOLORE !!!!!


Pagani is now part of the regular Geneva. Last year, there discovered the Zonda R, radicalized version for the track. This year it will be a Habs Zonda, the latest version of the Zonda scheduled before its replacement by the end of 2010 C9.

The small Italian manufacturer, almost a craftsman in reality, for this 2010 edition will offer a special version of the Zonda Cinque, already very exclusive. Single called Tricolor, the ultimate performance of Zonda is supposed to honor Frecce Tricolori, the equivalent of trans Patrouille de France. We avoid clichés but it must be acknowledged that the Italian supercar has everything a fighter and never been in better name. Zonda is the name of a hot wind Argentina ...

Through its blue and black it stands out, punctuated by colored bands like the Italian Aermacchi Tricolour Arrows. Always fully made of carbon, the shell of the home Zonda V12 Mercedes AMG 7.3 liter 678 hp. A power that may seem "small" compared to other supercars such ultra-exclusive Bugatti Veyron or Koenigsegg, but it is here that 1210 kg to take ... The performances are evil, with a 0 to 100 km / h in 3 4 s and 9.6 s for 0-200 km / h.

It is essentially the presentation that evolves, rather dramatically the way: note that despite the blue veil, the fiber is still apparent. Daytime running lights are also emerging. The interior also receives a blue dress, always as baroque, fully dressed in leather and carbon ...

The rate is up to the exclusivity of the craft, but identical to the Cinque: € 1.3 million before tax.
