When you're on the hunt for a supercar that seamlessly marries Italian elegance with breathtaking performance, the Pagani Zonda emerges as a peerless choice. Undoubtedly, it reigns supreme among the most coveted automotive gems of our time, frequently securing a spot in the glossy pages of automotive calendars and gracing the hallowed walls of passionate car aficionados' sanctuaries.
Yet, here lies the rub: the Pagani Zonda, despite its allure, inhabits the realm of exclusivity. Its production numbers barely tip the scales past the 100, rendering it an elusive dream for the majority. In the pantheon of Zonda models, where each one is a masterpiece in its own right, the Tricolore edition ascends as the apex of rarity.
Introduced in 2010 as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the National Aerobatic Team "Frecce Tricolori" only three Tricolore models were ever manufactured. Currently, one of these exclusive vehicles is available for sale at the prestigious Seven Car Lounge dealership in Saudi Arabia.
Among the three Tricolores, this particular model is the second, identifiable by its blue and gray carbon components, gold wheels, and blue brake calipers. The interior is equally opulent, featuring a captivating blend of high-gloss carbon fiber, aluminum accents, and luxurious white and blue leather seats, setting a benchmark for sophistication. This is also the original of today's Pagani Zonda Tricolore papercraft.
As is expected from a Zonda, the Tricolore delivers a thrilling speed experience. The mid-mounted 7.3-liter Mercedes-Benz V12 engine packs an impressive punch with 678 horsepower, paired with a Pagani 6-speed sequential gearbox. This powertrain enables the Tricolore to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds and attain a top speed of 220 mph—an undeniable testament to its exceptional performance capabilities. Understandably, precise pricing details for this exceedingly rare supercar are not readily available.
