In a salute to the the Frecce Tricolore, Italay’s famous air force acrobatics team, Pagani has released a new special edition version of its incredible Zonda supercar. Based on the Zonda Cinque, the car uses a special carbon-titanium weave for the body, which has been coated in a special clear blue lacquer. In addition it gets the red, white and green stripes of the Italian flag pinstriped up the front of the car.

Like the Cinque, it is powered by an AMG-sourced 7.3-liter V12 engine with 678-hp and 575 ft-lbs of torque. Other highlights include LED lights and magnesium wheels. Just one model will be built and sold (we’re sure its already sold) for 1.3 million Euros ($1.75 million).

The Zonda Tricolore is likely the last special edition Zonda model before Pagani delivers its replacement, code named C9. The new model is set to be unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show next week and we’ll be sure to bring you more details and lots of photos with live coverage of the show starting Monday, March 1st.
