1-of-3 Pagani Zonda Tricolore Might Break Auction Record | Carscoops
The Zonda Tricolore is crafted from exquisitely blue-tinted carbon fiber.
The Zonda Tricolore was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Italian Air Force's aerobatic team.
It is powered by a 7.3-liter V12 engine that delivers 670 hp and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque.
This could potentially be one of the most valuable Pagani models ever auctioned.
While every Pagani Zonda is unique, the Tricolore stands out as one of the most coveted, alongside the limited-run Cinque. With only 3 units produced worldwide, this hypercar is a remarkable specimen, and one is currently up for auction with the chance to set new records.
The Zonda Tricolore was designed to honor the 50th anniversary of the Italian Air Force's aerobatic demonstration squad. Its body is composed of stunning blue-tinted carbon fiber, accented by carbon fiber details and pinstripes reflecting the colors of the Italian flag.
The Zonda offered by RM Sotheby’s is the second of the three built and is presently registered in Germany. It has only been driven 1,112 km (691 miles) and remains in as pristine a condition as when it was new. We believe Pagani's inaugural supercar has aged gracefully and still resembles a moving piece of art.
The interior showcases blue and white leather on the seats, complemented by numerous carbon fiber and aluminum accents throughout.
Similar to the Zonda Cinque, the Tricolore features a Mercedes-AMG 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 delivering 670 hp and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automated manual transmission, though RM states that the winning bidder can return the car to Pagani for conversion to a 6-speed manual. As it stands, the vehicle weighs just 1,210 kg (2,667 lbs) and can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds, reaching 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.6 seconds.
In November, a unique Zonda LM Roadster sold for $11.08 million at a public auction, and this Tricolore could potentially achieve an even higher selling price.
