Like the carbon-titanium-bodied Zonda Cinque hardtop, the Zonda Cinque Roadster boasts a mildly detuned version of the strapping AMG 7.3-liter V12 engine, delivering 677 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a Cima six-speed sequential gearbox, the engine propels the two-seater from rest to 60 mph in less than 3.4 seconds, with a top speed in excess of 200 mph.
Pagani has strengthened the Zonda's magnesium/titanium chassis, which features a fully adjustable suspension. Other features are carried over from the hardtop model, including Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a ceramic-coated titanium exhaust system and APP forged aluminum/magnesium wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero performance rubber (size 255/35ZR19 in front and 335/30ZR20 in the rear).
As on the hardtop, the roadster's race-inspired cockpit is fitted with Toora carbon-fiber seats covered in leather, a carbon-fiber steering wheel and four-point belts.
Inside Line says: Once you've seen the Zonda Cinque Roadster, it might be tough to climb back into your old Mustang ragtop. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
