In this video we learn how the guys at Need for Speed made the snazzy Pagani Zonda vs Lamborghini Murcielago Hot Pursuit video. They came up with the idea of a live video shoot and so Pagani put together a prototype laboratory vehicle of the Zonda Cinque for the occasion, while the Murcielago got tarted up with its official police livery. And then they all took off to the Italian Dolomites for filming. Sounds like a tough job, doesn’t it? See how they made the video above, with the official Hot Pursuit Pagani and Lamborghini sequence after the jump.

This Pagani Zonda one-off is called the RAK and is another take on the Zonda Cinque model. It’s the sixth one-off model to be developed after the Zonda PS, Uno, Tricolore, HH and 750. The RAK will be on show at the Auto Salon Singen event and is part of that dealer’s impressive collection of cars which includes a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB valued at 4.45 million euros.

The RAK has the same set-up as the Cinque with a 7.3 litre AMG engine with 700 hp and the car body is made from carbon and titanium. It stands out with its yellow colour, and has brake calipers to match. The price is said to be about 1.85 million euros.

The Pagani Zonda 750 is another one-off Zonda built to order for an Arab car collector. The Zonda is on its way out of production as the Italian car manufacturer looks to replace it with the C9 model currently being developed. The Zonda 750, seen in these images, is based on the Zonda Cinque model but no official details have been released. It is most likely equipped with the V12 AMG engine from the Zonda R and other elements such as exhaust, aerodynamic features and air intakes would suggest so.

The Pagani Zonda Tricolore will debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, and in the gallery below you can see the preview pics of the Tricolore. This Zonda is dedicated to Italy’s famous air force jet fighter aerobatics team, the “Frecce Tricolore”, who will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2011.

Aside from the fact that a Pagani Zonda will always be an iconic supercar, the Tricolore is striking for its amazing livery. Based on the Zonda Cinque, it’s built from a carbonfibre-titanium structure. It is a one-off, unpainted example that has a clear blue lacquer finish and Italy’s red, white and green stripes up the nose, reflecting the MB-339 jets used in aerobatics displays.

Compared to the Zonda Cinque, it has extra air vents and LED daytime lights. It could be your last chance to get a Zonda before it’s replaced by the Pagani C9 later this year; but at 1.3 million euros it’s really anyone’s guess as to who the one lucky person will be who can actually afford it. Even the photo of the Tricolore ‘cockpit’ is worth seeing!

Gimme five, Horacio, as with this little number you have really outdone yourself: 750hp, 710Nm of torque and 0-200 km/hr in only 9.8 seconds. Everything else is just boring. The name itself - Pagani Zonda Cinque - shows its essential exclusivity: the facilities at san Cesario sul Panaro will make only five units, destined to hit figures dangerously close to one million euros. The Cinque, designed for road use, represents the branded version of the Zonda R, which still hasn’t been officially presented and headed only for the track.

In expectation of the new Zonda, revolutionised after its V8 engine, this version offers a V12 7.3 litre motor, likely to get the competitors’ claws out: a teté a teté is set for the Ferrari FXX and the Maserati MC12 Versione Corse.

The look of the car has been touched up and reflects that of the Zonda R, with new aerodynamics and the airscoop, that carries engine air over the driver’s compartment. This little jewell will cost around 800,000 euros.

With thanks to our readers for the news.
