More official images have emerged of Pagani's forthcoming and most extreme version of the Zonda supercar yet. It will incorporate lessons learnt from the new 'track only' Zonda R, and will be dubbed the Zonda Cinque due to its very highly exclusive five unit production run.

The track use only Zonda R production run will be limited to just 10 units, it will cost around 1.2 million euros, and in the search for ultimate track performance, the power will rise to 750 bhp, a jump of 100 bhp over the current Zonda F model, while a major aerodynamic makeover will improve its ability to glue itself to the race track. Although it was originally scheduled to be unveiled in the autumn of last year when it was announced at the Geneva Motor Show last spring, the outrageous Zonda R hasn't appeared in public as yet.

In the meantime Automobili Pagani will use the lessons learnt from this on-going extreme project and apply them to a street-legal version of the Zonda R, to be dubbed the Zonda Cinque. Even more exclusive than the planned 10-unit Zonda R, the Zonda Cinque's production will be limited to just five units, hence the name.

The new Zonda Cinque, which will cost around 800,000 euros, will receive a very similar carbon-fibre body to the one scheduled for the Zonda R, boasting a much improved aerodynamic package and new larger air intakes developed to feed the more powerful AMG-tuned Mercedes-Benz 7.3-litre V12 which will retain the track car's 750 bhp output. The 0 to 200 km/h dash will come in less than 10 seconds.

Pagani has continually pushed the envelope of the Zonda model forward since the supercar's debut back in 1999, and the Zonda Cinque will be the final evolution on the theme before an all-new contender, currently in the development stage, hits the market. The Zonda F, which is the most extreme interpretation to hit the roads yet, smashed the production supercar record at the famous Nürburgring last year, and the Zonda Cinque is set to be even more all-round dynamic.

The photos reveal new air intakes in front of and directly above the rear wheels, as well as a radiator intake sweeping the full length the roof. Bigger brakes, new wheels, a revised engine cover and large rear splitter feature. Inside, the Zonda Cinque will get a stripped-out race-inspired interior. A world debut at the Paris Mondial de l'Automobile in early October is likely.
