2011 Volkswagen Passat Rendered Images

The guys at AutoBild have come out with rendered images showing what the 2011 VW Passat might look like. The new front design gives Passat a lot more character and even the overall size looks considerably bigger than the current Passat CC.

Except for front facia tweaking and larger size, no other major change is expected in next generation Passat which will be built on current platform and gets to keep the current engine line-up.

Volkswagen will also bring a New Midsized Sedan (NMS) for the US and that they will introduce a complete fleet of hatchbacks across the whole model line-up.

Limited Edition Pagani Zonda Cinque Specs & Photos Released

Pagani is out with the initial details and photos of its new special edition supercar, the Zonda Cinque which is an adapted street legal version of the Zonda R. Pagani will only build 5 units (already sold) of the Cinque which stands for ‘5′ in Italian. It is powered by an AMG sourced 7.3 liter V12 engine that is tuned to develop 678 hp and 780 Nm of torque. All this power is transferred to the wheels via a Cima 6-speed sequential gearbox.

Pagani Zonda Cinque has a top speed of over 350 km/h and can accelerate from 0-62mph (0-100 Km) in 3.4 seconds while it just take 9.6 seconds for the 0-124mph (0-200km/h) sprint. It rides on APP monolithic wheels forged in aluminium and magnesium with special Pirelli PZero tires: front 255/35/19 & rear 335/30/20. Stopping power to the 1210 Kg Cinque is provided by carbo-ceramic self ventilated Brembo brakes with 6-piston calipers in the front and 4-piston calipers in the rear.

The new Pagani sportscar comes equipped with Traction control, a Bosch ABS, ceramic-coated titanium exhaust system plus a longer front spoiler, new rear wing, central air intake on monocoque, and extra air intakes for rear brakes. The interior gets the carbon-fibre made Toora Racing Seats and steering wheel wrapped in leather.

Cinque gets the honour of being the numero-uno Pagani to be built from carbon-titanium fiber. It is also the first Pagani to receive a sequential gearbox with controls on both the steering wheel and center tunnel. In the same breadth we inform you that the new Zonda Cinque is the last version of the Zonda before the debut of the new car that will abandon the V12 AMG, in favour of a V8.
