Just spent a few days at a meeting in Spain and managed a leisurely couple of hours having coffee by the harbour in Peurto Banus yesterday afternoon. Young-ish guy pulls up in a carbon Pagani Zonda cirque with the roof off - had a glance at last months EVO mag' when I got home today and didn't realise they only made 5 (as in cirque) of these at a cost of £1,360,000 ! and of course I didn't have my camera with me !

Car looked incredible but I must admit didn't really give off much of an exhaust note (rumble) at low speed - I'm sure I could think of better ways to spend that much cash !

That was the 1st zonda cinque roadster. I was at the factory last month when they were doing the photos of it and putting it on the transporter. I think evo were driving the coupe version of this. It's a silly amount of money but I have never seen a better looking roadster, the air scoop over the cockpit was just unreal. Started to think silly thoughts but once home I got back to real world!!!

Have alot of photos of it, will try to post some.

1st Roadster went to Spain.

Of the coupes 4 went to HK and the last has come to the UK, north of London but south of Scotland!

Would be cool to see the pictures of the Roadster.

Just a wee correction - it is the Cinque, not Cirque. But that might be a typosmile

Andy if you would past pictures that would be excellent. As far as I am aware, the Cinque Roadsters 1/5 and 2/5 have been delivered. I was told both were going to Spain but it could have been a misunderstanding with the guy I was talking to.

Zondas are probably the greatest cars ever made, excluding the McLaren F1, IMO. And the Cinque has got to be the most incredible one I have seen. So it would have been an incredible find to see the Cinque Roadster, you are a lucky sod, OPbiggrin

Apologies for my spelling - I had a couple of colleagues with me on Thursday - I'll call them next week to see if either took photos of the car ( I was a little "over absorbed" to notice at the time!) and if they did I'll get them to e-mail me and endeavour how to work out how to post on this thread !

I need to understand better Zonda's model range and their endless creations - the latest one seems to get better than the previous one!

So a Roadster F is not a Cirque then??
