PAGANI has released these official images of its most exclusive version of the Zonda supercar yet, the Cinque Roadster.

Just five of these special edition roadsters will be built, each carrying a price tag of €1.3 million ($2.65m). For the money, buyers will get open air seats to enjoy the noise from its 7.3-litre V12 engine, which develops 669bhp and 575lb ft torque.

The Cinque Roadster obliterates the sprint from zero to 62mph in 3.4 seconds, hitting 120mph in 9.6 seconds from standstill. But despite the epic performance and outlandish looks, it's entirely road legal.

The Cinque roadster is marked out from the coupe with a longer front spoiler, a flat undertray and diffuser and a new rear wing, which Pagani says is creates a whopping 750kg of downforce at 186mph, the same as the coupe.

The Cinque Roadster weighs 20kg less than the standard Zonda Roadster F thanks to a carbon-titanium monocoque, magnesium and titanium suspension and lightweight alloy wheels.

For a lucky few, it's on sale now. Reuters
