For us, the Pagani Zonda Cinque remains the finest car that the Italian marque has ever produced. With the exception of the dozens of 760-series models that have been built over the years, the Zonda Cinque remains one of the most limited and desirable versions of the Zonda. It’s little wonder then that each of the five Coupe and five Roadster models is said to be worth over $10 million, and values are continuing to rise.

Unfortunately, Pagani no longer builds the Zonda and has now turned its attention to the Utopia, the long-awaited successor to the Huayra. The Utopia has a familiar exterior design and the person who commissioned this example clearly wanted one which looks a lot like the Zonda Cinque. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

The custom spec of this Utopia starts with the carbon fiber elements. Just like the Zonda Cinque, the hood, front bumper/splitter, rocker panels, roof, pillars, and engine cover are finished in glossy carbon fiber. The car then features a red racing stripe running over the hood, roof, and engine cover while the remaining body panels are finished in white. Unfortunately, the car does not have the same famous roof scoop as the Zonda Cinque.

This Pagani Utopia Just Wants To Be A Zonda Cinque

This combination of white, carbon fiber, and red looked superb on the Zonda and looks great on the Utopia as well. However, does the newest Pagani have quite the same appeal as the Zonda Cinque? We’re not so sure.

In terms of performance, the appeal of the Utopia cannot be denied. Like the Huayra, it is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 from Mercedes-AMG but it has been modified to produce 852 hp and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque. This engine can be coupled to either an automated single-clutch transmission or a six-speed manual.
