Pagani Tricolore special edition air force images

By Tim Beissmann |

With the Pagani Zonda coming towards the end of its life, one more limited edition is designed to give the Italian hypercar a deserving send off.

The Pagani Tricolore is as limited edition as it gets, with just one vehicle ever to be made, and an expected price of US$1.75 million (AUD$1.98 million).

The Tricolore is basically a Pagani Cinque, which is basically a detuned Zonda R, meaning power from the 7.3-litre V12 is down from 552kW to 499kW.

With a semi-transparent paint job unashamedly revealing the car’s carbon fibre body, the Tricolore is both light and lightning fast, hitting 100km/h from rest in just 3.4 seconds and pulling up back to a standstill in 2.1 seconds.

Adorned with the red, white and green stripes of the Italian flag and paying tribute to the homeland’s air force, the first official images of the Tricolore are some of the most striking examples of automotive photography we have seen in some time.

The Pagani Tricolore will make its world debut at next week’s Geneva Motor Show, but for those of us who can’t make it, Pagani has given us a real treat here. Enjoy.

    GREAT looking vehicle, and a real HONOUR for them to have the Tricolore [Italy's flag] paint job

    Why only ONE [1]?

    A new model must be around the corner, even faster no doubt.

    Still not convinced over running a Benz motor in a Italian vehicle

      It’s ok, the Benz engine is so highly tuned, they basically ‘detuned’ the german reliability to match that of the Italians, so its pretty much Italian all round. The engine is the same basic design as the old SL73 from the 90′s

      Benz engines are epic. AMG!!

    Pity they couldn’t have had a better aircraft to shoot with…… Macchis aren’t the most appealing of aircraft………they’re main purpose is to teach pilots how to fly a jet…… I’m guessing they wanted to keep with the Italian made style and the name of their display team Freece Tricolori.

    The Typhoon was a joint effort so they could have justified that.

    Nice car but.
