    Ok im still very confused by all this talk of a one off Zonda F being presented at Geneva in Cinque livery that all the internet talk says is not an actuall Cinque.

    The car in these pics looks very very very much like a real Cinque to me, have the internet chit chat people got it wrong? Please explain why this is not a Cinque. It matches exactly the photoshop pictures of the Cinque that circulated last year. That car was not as long or as low as an R, as many people know the Cinque will be based on the R. I think thay have made the incorrect assumption that because this car doent look like an R thats its not a true Cinque? Surely this is a Cinque!!??

    Last picture is the Original Cinque photoshop from 2008, for comparison. so whats the story am i right or wrong, is the Geneva car an F in Cinque clothing or a real Cinque???

    There are vents on the front fenders if you look closely, as for the chrome on the air vent, thats just cosmetic and photoshops rarely come out exactly the same in production. Though you may be right, untill i see hard evidence im pretty sure this is a Cinque there is even a Cinque badge on the rear!

    So is the Cinque the "new" Pagani? I thought they were moving on from the Zonda model.

    No the Cinque is the last Zonda based model. Basically its a road legal version of the R allbeit based on the F chassis, so it has the Paddle shift of the R and i believe the Upgraded engine of the R (although im not sure on that point) The confusion arose when somebody said the Cinque at Geneva was just a mocked up F , this was apparently unfounded rumor and the car at Geneva is the real deal.There will be only 5 of these cars, and the new model currently known as the C9 will appear sometime next year. Or so they say at the moment.

    I remember reading a rumor that someone wanted this car to be built and in order for Pagani do a custom car they had to buy 5. True?

    If not does anyone know the purpose of the Cinque?

    Its likely true that HK based company SPS orderd the 5 cars from the Pagani factory, 1 to an client of SPS and the other 4 to make so money on resale. Just my guess.

    The car in Geneva is the first real Cinque, number 1 of 5.
    It has the Zonda F (with more hp) engine, not the Zonda R engine (wich is not street legal).
    The old renderings have chrome parts wich are black in the final version, and other little differences.
    The car rumored on the net, is a custom Roadster F with the Cinque painting, nothing else.
