If you thought a Cinque was something Italians do their dish-washing in, you’d be dead wrong. This is the latest creation from supercar maker Pagani, and the Cinque badge, which Italian for “five” and is actually pronounced “chink-way”, indicates the number of these wild racers for the road Horacio Pagani will build.

But don’t bother rushing to the phone with your platinum American Express; all five have supposedly been sold at a price of $1.5 million. The Cinque is in effect a road-going version of the racetrack only Pagani Zonda R. Mercedes’s AMG division kinly detuned the Zonda R’s 7.3-liter V-12 they supply, from 750 to 678 hp. Now Cinque owners will have their toy do 0 to 60 mph in only 3.4 seconds along with a 217 mph top speed. The lucky five will get a true exotic made of titanium, magnesium, and carbon fiber, with a little seat leather thrown in.
