The Cinque is one of the many different variants of the Pagani Zonda introduced in 2009. It is essentially a street-legal track version of the Zonda with a sequential gearbox and carbotanium construction. After months of non-stop drooling, Richard Hammond finally got to drive the car in Italy. Here’s what happened.
Hammond’s Pagani Zonda Cinque review is part of the old Top Gear Uncovered DVD in which Hammo talks us through the procedures of recording a Top Gear review and the qualifications one needs to become a TG presenter.
