Is this one still in the prototype stage? (what's going on with those rear lights?)

Unless they updated it after they shot the final images I'd think this is the final look for it. It's already available.

They look like after market smoked lenses to me! Like what some used to put on their cars in the early 2000's!

In my mind’s eye, they did come with smoked lights. Maybe not as heavily smoked, but still smoked

I think you're right! I was looking at Sovereign pictures then remembered it's a Daimler!

Hello folks, am I the only one who is eagerly waiting for other colour combinations for Almost Real Pagani Zonda F? My favourite choice would be yellow - black carbon. Do you think they are planning other releases or Pagani models will remain silver and black forever?

No you're not. Zonda is probably the only model I would add multiple specs of.
Almost real had shown the F in pearl white and metallic red earlier this year. Orange is also under consideration from what I hear. I'm sure there will be more in the future. They just released the white cinque. Green and orange will come later this year. A roadster version of the Cinque is also planned for next year and that will come in white, yellow and red I believe.

Wow just wow Thank you very much @scenic for the information, I didn't know this was coming, great news. Now the model I would like to have the most is the green Pagani Cinque. It will replace the green SVJ in my small collection. You made my day.

 

[scenic]

Haha you're welcome. The green cinque is a must have for me too!

 

[Mikestroh]

Does anyone have pics of the Green Cinque?

The XJ40 has been released in black and a new stand out 2 tone colour for the Maybach S-Class!

I'll try to put my two cents about the Zondas. AR are just playing good old marketing games. I believe we need to follow logic and rationale over our emotions. A die cast model on this level is quite the investment. Both from material point of view and from licensing point. Considering the costs involved in developing the dies for such a model and the level of execution, the only way AR can have a profitable return on their investment, the only solution is in volume over time. Which means they will release the Zonda in many different colors in the future. And if we look into the Cinque, that is pretty much a completely different model, which has no more than 50% common parts. Most of which are actually plastic parts. And the big money is in the metal molds. What I think is a very smart strategy that AR are developing is to release the Zonda F in its press release variations first, which is the silver car in its two variants and the Matt black car from Geneva. Once the market for those is exhausted, they will offer the Cinque, which people will buy even if they already have the Zonda F. I am one of these people for example. The Cinque makes sense to be released in three colors almost at the same time, as there are only 5 cars in real life, three of which are white, one is green and one is orange. It will be followed by the Cinque Roadster, which again collectors like me will get even if they had the previous two. That car will most likely also be released in three colors simultaneously, as the real cars were made again three in white (one has red interior) one in yellow and one in red. This more or less creates a pattern of three colors at a time. My guess is that it will be followed by three new colors of the Zonda F. We know AR has already developed a Cinque roadster, which would only make sense to followed by a Roadster F. After that we will see periodically a rotation of the models in three color options at a time. Because let's face it, the Zonda UNO is nothing more than yet another Cinque Roadster and the Zonda LH is basically a purple Cinque. Somewhere in the mix the Tricolore will also appear. Just look at the endless variations of the G-wagons and Range Rovers they have released and it paints a pretty good picture of what is to come from the Zonda moulds.
I think that as collectors we just have to be patient and play the waiting game. I am pretty sure that Zondas will be released in every color a real car ever wore.

@MRM I know it's just a bunch of assumptions but thanks for keeping the flame of my hopes burning I'm still waiting for my ultimate Zonda spec to be released and it's incredibly frustrating that they've ALMOST (pun intended) done it already - only the interior color (apart from things I might not know about) does not fit. Maybe one day...

@MRM I'm still waiting for my ultimate Zonda spec to be released… Maybe one day...

It will happen. The Zondas released so far probably can’t pay the tooling alone.

I feel the same way about Almost Real doing the Jaguar X308

I totally agree with MRM……..I have already 3 Zonda’s now 😂
started with the matt black, than came the BBR full carbon with tan interior and just two weeks ago my cinque in orange……and yes, I ‘ll get a cinque roadster as well.
Becoming an expensive hobby this way

i would love to see AR making a proper XJ220 🙏
that would a no brainer to buy…….

I’d say the same thing for the Jaguar F-Type SVR

At this price range I am not really open to multiple colors from the same model. I am waiting for my Cinque to arrive today, but I consider it to be a completely different model. What I really want them to do is make the original Zonda S with the dual rear wings. And yes, I would get the roadster versions of all the Zondas.

Oh really!? Didn’t know that but that will become a nice one as well 🥳
I am only afraid that we will have to wait another 4-5 years before it’s ready 😂
AA is not so quick anymore, waiting too long for some models……
