This is the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Coupè, chassis number 76109, number 3 of just 5 total examples of the Zonda Cinque Coupè that were developed for the entire world. The story of the Zonda model all starts in the year 1999, when the car first debuted at the Geneva Motor Show. Since then, multiple variants have been created and all in extremely limited production numbers and fitted with the most extravagant and exclusive materials and features in the world. The Zonda Cinque, which is Italian for five, and was developed at the request of @sps_automotive_performance in the year 2008. The Cinque is based upon the Zonda F platform, and was given a myriad of enhancements that allows for the car, in essence, to be a road-legal Zonda R. The Cinque first ever made a public appearance during the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. This example shown here, chassis 76109, was the first Cinque model to be painted in a color other than white, and is finished in ‘Arancio Saint Tropez’ with plenteous amounts of exposed carbon fiber all throughout the interior and exterior. While the car was originally delivered to Hong Kong, it has since changed owners a number of times. In 2019, 76109 was sent back to the Pagani factory to be converted from right hand drive to left hand drive. Also in 2019, this Cinque had it’s 6-speed automated manual gearbox swapped for a 6-speed manual transmission, resulting in possibly one of the greatest pieces of machinery of all time. On top of the obvious revised bodywork, which includes a newly added rear diffuser, side skirts, and bumper canards, the Zonda Cinque was also developed using a revised form of carbon fiber known as ‘carbo-titanium’, which encompasses titanium in the weave in order to increase the overall durability. One year later, at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the Pagani Zonda Cinque roadster was revealed, featuring the same specifications as the Coupè, with a subsequent production of 5 total cars, just like the Coupè.
