The Almost Real Pagani Zonda Cinque Coupe 2009 in 1:18 scale has finally arrived. Shipping later this month is the Pagani Zonda Cinque Coupe 2009 “Bianco Benny” White. This thing is a beast, the fully accessible models just transform in a matter of seconds. And from what we gather from the photos attention to detail is very good! This one comes in at $398 US. You can purchase one now at our site sponsor MyDiecastCars now!

Super excited. I’ve waited a couple years for this model to be released. Placed on order…..Can’t wait to add to my collection.
This will be my model of the year for sure. Also the first AR model with removeable wheels!
Yes, we forgot to mention the wheels!
More colors coming?
Yep, they already showed on China expo, there will be orange nad green one (you can look up the real cars, there are only 5 of them;))
Damn they couldn’t put that “1 of 5” in the center at least
If you look closely it’s aligned with the vertical bar of the “q” letter.
True, and when comparing it to pictures of the real car, that is how it is on the real Cinques. The carbon pattern centre does not always run between the letters o and f on the real Cinques either.
I checked 4 of 5 cars and it’s always in the middle between o and f.

Well, seems like Pagani´s team couldn´t even put #2´s badge in the center either. It´s off-center too, the center running more through the “o” than in between “o” and “f”.
the entire logo is off-center then. Here is the pic

The carbon join line is supposed to be right in the middle of “of”, instead the entire word is to the right of it.
And for the EU, only 480 euros and up. Why o why do I like Paganis so much…
This one is more than the average AR as it sits in their premium level of scale models. Worth every penny IMO!
Probably the model of the year contender right here! :)
Is there any production limit for this white version? 1000 units, less?
Based on what we understand no. That will leave the doors open for future production runs.
Worst model ever. Mine arrive with paint chips on nose, paint rash on carbon clear, panel gaps worse than mondo motors and glue residue on exhaust. Almost real will never get my money again.
That’s not been our experience with the model… Connect with your source for replacement. Worst model ever, no, likely a candidate for 2023 Model of the Year.
Mine arrived with similar issues, quality control is clearly not acceptable.
Funny how you guys act like Almost Real has no major QC issues when almost everyone has had missing parts on their Zonda (remember the missing logo in the engine on your Zonda F ? I has a few missing parts on my Zonda F as well). Also, you made an entire post to discredit LCD’s QC issues on their Zonda HP as soon as a few people noticed imperfections in the carbon pattern, but their QC has been far superior than AR’s for the moment. There is clearly a bias, and though I think their Zondas have been fantastic, it seems important to remains objective while writing a review. If we close our eyes on that matter, no improvement will ever be made
Sorry, don’t agree on the bias side. From a DS perspective, what we’ve seen firsthand is that their overall QC has been very good. That doesn’t mean they are perfect or exempt from issues. As for the missing cover, we received a media sample, and we clearly stated it was missing. And the part was sent by AR at no expense.

We have yet to see a post specificly dedicated to AR’s terrible quality control. My Zonda F has several issues, half of the F for sale on the second hand market have faulty suspensions and I’ve seen lots of people complaining about defects on their Cinque as well. I have both LCD’s Zonda HP and Huayra Roadster BC and none of them has the slightest issue, and it seems to be the same for a huge majority of people. I love AR’s Zonda’s, and I will get the Cinque, but not complaining about this will never change things
