Pagani Zonda Tricolore: An Aerobatic One-Off

Special edition to mark 50 years of Italy's version of the Red Arrows.

---

The Frecce Tricolori - the Italian Red Arrows - is 50 this year and to celebrate Pagani is set to unveil this unique Zonda Tricolore at the Geneva motor show.

As with the limited-edition Zonda Cinque, the tub is made from a carbon fibre and titanium weave, while the body is pure carbon fibre.

Tricolore-specific tweaks include LED lights that mimic the tail fin of an aeroplane and a blue-lacquer finish and Italian-flag stripes that echo the Frecce Tricolori livery.

There is also an intriguing vertical fin on top of the engine cover, which Pagani promises to reveal more about at the show.

If you want to get your hands on this particular Zonda, you'll need to shell out 1.3 million euros.

Has the interior been designed by a 17 year old with a subscription to Max Power?!

Really like the paint-scheme, but can't help but find my eyes drawn to the light clusters at the front, each one looks like some smiley Tony Hart character and now I just can't seem to see anything else when I look at it...

Way too fussy interior. And how much?

Rear view looks best imho.

SMILE, I'm coming through LOL

Yet another million quid limited edition. Can't blame them though it looks impressive. Are they going to replace the Zonda or just stick with limited editions?

[Andehh]

What have they done to the interior!? :O

[Skylinecrazy]

I want.

Agreed.

Great car...this version is trying too hard.

+ Why..? Is there a connection between Pagani & the Italian Red Arrows?

Not really my sort of thing, too much flounce and not enough style IMO.

I love the use of "limited" by Zonda...I mean how many of each variant do they even produce? Their all limited editions aren't?

[Papa Hotel]

fk me, you hit a high point with the Cinque then dilute the whole thing with "special editions" galore. Kill it off if you're going to.

2/10. Not because it's crap.. it's not crap, I'd have one in a heartbeat should I suddenly find myself a multi millionaire. 2/10 because it's just another "special" with a fancy dress.

Obviously went to the Lotus school of special editions

Lovely car, interior is awful but I'd suffer it.

[Roberty]

Fantastic but yes have to agree it's one or two special editions too many!

They claimed they had stopped making Zonda's what 12 months ago if not longer?

Let it die with some dignity please.

[stimshady]

i really want to win the lotto.

[WorAl]

How long are they going to drag this car out FFS, think they've made more special edition cars than they did normal cars.

Oh and right from the start it was a hideous car. I would accept one as a present.......then sell it to buy something nice.

[Mini1275]

Want.

[carnut360]

Awesome, would look handome in the garage! just need the dosh to pay for it.. a real fantasy supercar...the more outrageous the better..a modern day countach?

[Skylinecrazy]

Ok, I'm gonna sound stupid here, but why is there only two pedals?

Looks like a manual box to me.
