I have a question about the Zonda though. In the first pic you can see what looks like a sequential shifter, as well as massive carbon paddles behind the wheel. Does it have both methods of shifting?
I will take the zonda too, the car is a true street legal race car and the italian styling and craftsmanship is absolutely one of a kind ... and yes, you can either use the paddles or the shifter on the console as methods to sequentially shift the Cinque =)

Maybe I'd go for a Zonda R now. I'd didn't know they decided to make it street legal.

After my thread was nicely hijacked by you (its a joke of course ) there are two greatest hypercars in one thread. Thats fine.

Speaking about Zonda Cinque gearbox, with the stick you change modes - parking, auto, manual. With flappy paddles behind the steering wheels you can change the gears in manual mode. But I can be wrong.

To me it is a hyper-image, hyper-price, hyper-performance and hyper-presence

Because they are MUCH more exclusive.
