Roughly 300, I guess the remaining examples to Far East/China, Middle East, and Russia?
So did you contact them about your interest

I wonder if the people selected to buy are hand picked for the most part

I don't think the actual Zonda R was street legal anywhere.

I didn't know the Cinque was based on the R, though.

I honestly have no idea; I can't keep track of those things. I just knew no Zonda had ever been street legal in the U.S.

It's already in the works.

A 1/12 model will probably still be roughly $2-3,500.

BTW, that store has numerous other cars in 1/8th scale as well such as the new P1, F1 GTR, LM, FXX, DBR9, etc. The scales go up as well.

By Pagani's specs, the 10 Cinques are the only road-going R models.

However, I think some credit can be given to Tricolore, HH, RAK, & the 750/760/764 models as they all either sport the Cinque engine or bodywork, which in turn, is modeled from the R.

Out of them, the 750 is probably the closest since it has been the test bed for every custom-one off Zonda that was ordered after it.

CCBs on my ride are $14K each to replace and you have to buy them as a pair. I guess they last a really long time if one doesn't track, first CCBs I've owned.

Someone could take a hot pink glow in the dark LaFerrari, shower the entire car in fermented puke, let the acid etch into the paint, spray clearcoat over it and I would still give up my left nut to have it, as well as buy a matching jacket.

Those brakes


The zonda R that was on top gear is not street legal, hence the link someone posted about pagani making street legal versions of the R.

The zonda R is like the 599XX. Not street legal, not legal for any competitive racing either.

IIRC, I had an SLR McLaren tech tell us (in about 2007) that front rotors for one were $32k a pair.

you guys have seen the configurator with the 360 degree visualizer right.... 3 colors

http://www.laferrari.com/en/design


also at that site it mentions how it has strong influence taken from the 312P and 330 P4. I knew about the P4 (along with the the "new" one they made in the past few years) but not the 312P. Here are some images to show the heritage.

312P
















330 P4

What is the primary determinant that makes these brakes so expensive other than the carbon ceramic material? Caliper square area? Most of them seem sourced from Brembo, yet the F-car ones are exponentially more expensive than Porsche.

"The California braking system consists of front and rear Brembo modules with carbon ceramic brake discs. The 390 mm carbon ceramic discs at the front are coupled with 6-piston monoblock calipers with 150 cm square pads, whereas the 360 mm carbon ceramic discs at the rear are coupled with 4-piston monoblock calipers with 77 cm square pad."

According to Wiki:
The brake discs are carbon-ceramic and provide better stopping power and fade resistance than steel discs when operating under ideal working temperature. Mercedes-Benz claims these discs are fade resistant to 1,200 °C (2,200 °F). The front discs are internally vented and 370 mm (15 in) diameter eight-piston callipers are used. Rear discs are 360 mm (14 in) in diameter with four-piston callipers. During wet conditions the callipers automatically skim the surface of the discs to keep them dry.
That & the McLaren name probably helps carry that price tag.
