Pagani Zonda Cinque

Pagani’s latest version of the Zonda, named the Cinque, is a street legal version of the race-only Zonda R. Power comes from the same 7.3-liter V12, although it has been detuned to 678 horsepower, down from Zonda R’s 750. The Cinque will also feature a full carbon fiber body, massive Brembo brakes, a six-speed sequential gearbox, and Pirelli PZero tires. Production will be limited to a mere five units, all of which have been spoken for.

The clips arent by top gear, they have been taken from elsewhere. There are only four pictures of the car in that shape and colour and it is on every site about the Cinque, not just Top Gear. And just looking at other people, they havent said anything about where they got there pictures, but yet it seems to be a problem when I do it?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Lol vb censored off site (strange). What i meant is that it seems that topgear hosts the images. Officially we need permission to use off site images linked to this forum. So either copy and upload or name the source of the images please

Ok sorry, I misunderstood

Mansory Stallone 2008

As a specialist for customisation of Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce automobiles, MANSORY has long been an institution. Now, the company from Brand in Bavaria has tackled the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. With luxurious as well as sporty modifications, MANSORY proves that the company also has a clear understanding of customising Italian super sports cars. Especially light body components made of carbon, a powerful increase to the engine performance and an interior covered with the finest ostrich leather fulfil the car desires of the exclusive clientele.

MANSORY pays special attention to performance optimisation with which the car from Maranello made the sprint from zero to 100 kph two tenths faster than the series version (3.7 seconds). The propulsion is only over at 340 kph. Thus the modification, called the Stallone, impressively fills the gap to the fast, 350 kph sports car brother, the Enzo. The engine components newly developed by the MANSORY technicians are responsible for this. The performance kit includes high-performance compressors and custom made intercooling. The supercharging of the V12 power train is supported by a sport air filter with higher air throughput as well as modified control electronics. This increases the performance of the large 6.0 litre twelve cylinder engine from 620 to 720 HP. The torque increased by an additional 92 Nm. The sport rear muffler made of stainless steel underscores the sporty appearance of the MANSORY Stallone with its impressive sound.

The bike of my dreams

till the point you have to readjust the valves means a complete change of the desmodromic :o

Beautiful paint job and the black wheels...I like it!

 

[William Yunck]

I don't love the grill, but the side profill is really nice looking, and back is good too.

If I can afford that bike, I can afford the repairs

My view anyway

Did you ever see this?

It's one of the few bikes that would swing me back from only owning a V-Twin

Fat Bob 2008

Its not a sleek Japanese bomber but its still sexy.

Harley-Davidson has launched its new Dyna Fat Bob with the intention of boost sales in Europe and the UK.
The bike is designed to reflect European custom trends, with a wide 130-section front tyre and twin, streetfighter-style headlights instead of the stretched-out forks and spindly wheels favoured in the States.
Based around the same 1596cc engine as the rest of the Dyna range, but with a new “Tommy Gun” exhaust system, the Fat Bob puts out an impressive 91ftlb of torque at just 3125rpm.
With prices starting at £10,525 it’s the range-topper in the Dyna line-up.

How fast will the stig run this one at the TG test track this year. The Zonda-F was first for a long time if i remember right.

But again a sportscar with black wheels. Are we spotting a new trend here?

Yeah, was 1st for a good while. Can this new one beat the Koienesegg CCX "With top gear wing"

But again a sportscar with black wheels. Are we spotting a new trend here?

IMO it looks very nice!:adhd:

 

[William Yunck]

And loud, at least in the states. I would rather have a Norton myself.
