The AUTODROME-CANNES SHOWROOM (PAGANI Section)
PAGANI PRESENTS A LIMITED EDITION OF THE ZONDA F : THE ZONDA "CINQUE"
Pagani Automobili & Autodrome present a very special version of the Zonda F : the Zonda Cinque (pronounced "tchinkway', meaning "five", in Italian, in reference to the number that Pagani intends to build). With 678 HP and 780 Nm torque, it's the first Pagani fitted with a semi-automatic gear box, with F1-style pad-shifts behind the steering wheel.
The bodywork shows a spectacular dynamic air intake on the roof (seen on the Zonda R project), and several visible-carbon finish parts. The rear wing as well as the front spoiler are bigger than on the Zonda F. At 300 km/H the new aerodynamics bring over 750 kg down force.
Suspensions are in magnesium and titanium, with forged magnesium-aluminum alloy wheels, with titanium nuts. Inconel and titanium exhaust with a ceramic protective layer, and 6 piston Brembo ceramic brakes are standard.
Racing safety belts and anti-roll bar are also fitted in each Zonda Cinque, whilst the total weight is 20 kg lighter than the Zonda F.
The Zonda Cinque top speed is 350 km/h (217,5 mph). To reach 100km/h needs only 3,4 seconds, whilst braking enables to stop from 100 km in only 2,1 s. and only 4,3 s. from 200 km/h.
Pagani Zonda Cinque : 1 Million € Before Tax.

It's now become a tradition : AUTODROME will welcome you once again at the Paris Rétromobile Classic Car Show 2008 (8 - 17 Feb). A wonderful opportunity to meet our friends and clients coming sometimes from far away (Japan, Thailand, USA, South Africa, Norway....).

THE FAMOUS JAPANESE MAGAZINE "ROSSO" PRESENTS RARE LAMBORGHINIS OF THE AUTODROME COLLECTION
The famous luxury Japanese magazine ROSSO, specialising in classic cars, especially Lamborghini & Ferrari, was visiting Autodrome-Cannes last year and has issued a long article on some of the "pearls" of the Lamborghini Autodrome collection (please click on the photos). The Lamborghini Motorcycle was not only the only Lamborghini bike in History, it was the most outrageous and expensive in the world, with high-tech racing features and hand-built quality. Only five have even been built. This one of course in the Autodrome Lamborghini Collection.

AUTODROME PRESENTS THE FABULOUS RACING CD-PANHARD OF LE MANS 1964
The famous charity event "SPORT & COLLECTION, 300 FERRARI AGAINST CANCER" took place last week-end (1-2-3 june) on the Val-de-Vienne Circuit near Poitiers.
AUTODROME was presenting the CD-PANHARD LM64, one of the only two extraordinary prototypes having taken part in the 24 hours of Le Mans 1964, along with the Ford GT40, the Ferrari 275 P and GTO... A perfect opportunity to meet our clients and friends, and share our passion for classic and sports automobiles around this wonderful and famous racing car.
We had the pleasure to park side by side the fabulous CD-Panhard prototype built for Le Mans, and the production Panhard-CD : both cars
demonstrate the talent of Charles Deutsch, and engineer who took the Panhard-Levassor story one step ahead - a wonderful end to a Legend.
Our CD-Panhard on the track : taken over by a Ferrari prototype, driven by David Piper in person ! What more cold you dream of ?
A resurrection of a scene from the 24 Heures of Le Mans, with Ferrari (275, 330 P, LM), Ford GT, Cobra, and CD LM 64 as key players.
Another memorable scene, seen from the cockpit of the CD-Panhard LM64: we give way to a fabulous Ford GT40.
In the 1964 Le Mans race, the last Ford to retire driven by Phil Hill & Bruce Mc Laren retired roughly at the same time as our CD #45.
AUTODROME MEETS FERRUCCIO LAMBORGHINI'S TEAM NEAR VERONA (28-29 September)
Ferruccio Lamborghini presents his first V12 engine, designed by ex-Ferrari Giotto Bizzarini.
A few of the fine automobiles parked during the Lamborghini meeting.
AUTODROME was invited to a really unique event : a friendly gathering of all the people who made the Lamborghini legend. Paolo Stanzani, Giotto Bizzarini, Ubaldo Sgarzi, Claudio Zampolli, GianCarlo Guerra, Orazio Salvioli, Fabio Lamborghini, Umberto Marchesi (chassis manufacturer) are only a few names among Ferruccio Lamborghini's Team that came to Sant'Agata for this exceptional days.
From L to R . 1- Neldo Levy (Autodrome) and Cesare Lodi, former Lamborghini test driver . 2- Edmond Ciclet, former Lamborghini France Technical Director talks to N. Levy and Paolo Stanzani, who designed the Miura with Dallara, and the Countach, and Lamborghini CEO in the 70s. 3- Michel Levy (Autodrome) with Giancarlo Guerra, former Scaglietti Head, who then was in charge of the Countach bodywork shop at Lamborghini. 4- M. Levy with Ubaldo Sgarzi, former Lamborghini and Pagani Commercial Director. 5- M. Levy with engineer Giotto Bizzarini who designed the first V12 Lamborghini after designing the Ferrari GTO. 6 - M. Levy with Paolo Stanzani, "God" for many Lamborghini lovers.
MORE PICTURES OF THE EVENT: PLEASE CLICK HERE
This gathering was focusing on people rather than cars, and very different from other events. It is very important to listen to all these key players of a period now gone, so as to record and preserve all the available information on the History of Lamborghini. This avoids all risks of distortion or mishandling of essential historical information. As Lamborghini collectors and historians, we have always strived to stay in direct contact with the former Lamborghini people, and we will continue to update and complete available information on this magical period.
The Lamborghini 350 GT of Edmond Ciclet (former Technical Director of the Lamborghini network in France).
This car is one of the earliest Lamborghini in existence, and it is of course in perfect condition : 1200 km, and back were just a warm-up.
As anticipated, this magnificent classic won the most sought-after prize of the best Lamborghini at the meting..
We also had the opportunity to talk Mr. Pasolini, the man who was in the mythical Miura Jota when it "took off" in the accident that destroyed it completely. Mr. Pasolini woke up at the hospital, and very luckily alive. The Jota inspired the creation of the rare Miura SVJ, now the most sought-after of all Lamborghini. Only one Miura SVJ was built as a Spider, and we are finalising the complete restoration of its superb bodywork and upholstery - see below. This restoration is done in partnership with the prestigious Carrosserie Lecoq, the best expert for this kind of work.

PRESS :
The British magazine Classic Cars highlights the Lamborghini Pregunta of AUTODROME as one of the 10 best cars at Rétromobile.
Classic Cars ranks the Lamborghini Pregunta displayed by Autodrome as one of the "Top 10 cars" at Rétromobile,
together with the Ferrari 250 GTO (Nick Mason's Collection) and the Martini Racing Porsche 917 (Porsche Museum).
The specialised magazine "RETROVISEUR" says that AUTODROME is "the reference for Classic Lamborghini":
RETROVISEUR, one of the most respected classic car magazines, comments on Autodrome-Cannes this month.
Their conclusion, based on Autodrome's experience and trust relationship with clients: "The best classic Lamborghinis always end at Autodrome-Cannes".
Please note that our Lamborghini Miura SVJ Spider, first presented by Lamborghini at the Geneva Motor Show in 1981, has been acquired by one of our clients.
WE BUY CASH : FERRARI 250, 288 GTO, ALL LAMBORGHINI V12, MANGUSTA De Tomaso, MERCEDES 300 SL, ASTON MARTIN DB.
PAGANI ZONDA "R" THE ULTIMATE "NO-LIMITS" SUPERCAR.
After nearly one year of development, the real Zonda R is now ready. We had presented the model of this last and final Zonda at the recent Monaco motor Show, as a 1/5 th scale model.
Built upon special order as all Pagani, this extraordinary automobile will put an end to the Zonda dynasty.Time will tell what the next Pagani cars will be, but one thing is sure :
handcrafted traditional Sports Cars like the Zondas are now prohibited by safety and emission legislation, and the next Pagani, codenamed C9 will be very different.
This is why enthusiasts and collectors have begun to look for any available existing Pagani Zonda : these cars will remain - exactly as the MacLaren F1,
the Enzo or the F50, on of the "best of the best" in luxury sports cars. Contact us now for delivery Q3-2008.
A LAMBORGHINI 400 GT AUCTIONED AT 245.000 €
As we indicated recently, the very first Lamborghini V12 continue to gain value on the market. Thi 400 GT two-seater, also known as "Interim" (chassis 0526), has just been sold 245.000 € at Pebble-Beach . This rise of the best classic Lamborghini - Miura, then LP400, and now 350/400 GT, as well as the Islero (90.000 €, Bonhams 2007 in Monaco), is consistent with the parallel increase of the best classic Ferrari.
Time is ideal to seize the best opportunities, whilst the 350 & 400 GT are now rapidly rising to their legitimate and true market value.
Lamborghini 400 GT, one of the most extraordinary Gran Turismo of the XXth century. Only 150 were ever built.

The CD prototype of Le Mans 1964 now in our Collection.
Left, the CD of the 1964 Le Mans: one of the most memorable prototypes ever built. Charles Deutsch, the engineer who designed it, has founded the modern aerodynamics.
Right, the same year: the Ford GT 40 (Schlesser-Attwood) and the Maserati 151 (Simon-Trintignant), challenged the Ferrari 275 and 330 P.
This 1964 picture, taken just before the race, clearly shows the bold concept of the car and how far it was ahead of its time
The quality of construction is obvious, and the shapes are close to perfection, following the advanced theories of Charles Deutsch.
This car belongs to history and we are proud to present it in our Collection. (POA)

PASSION FOR CLASSICS : WHY A HANDFUL OF "OLD" AUTOMOBILES ARE SO SOUGHT AFTER...
The passion for Classic Cars is on the rise ; there are good reasons for this, based on objective factors:
- Buying a classic is a joy for everyday of your life: admiring and driving a fine car is a privilege, provided by the best egineers in History...
- The beauty of the classic shapes is unmatchable today, because of the safety rules, crash-test obligations and marketing dictatorship... Never more will car makers be able to offer such exquisite style.
- Classic Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys are still more affordable than new ones.... even though a brand-new car will loose half of its value by the next 5 years, whilst a classic's value can only rise. But this "opportunity market" will not last for long.
- There is much more demand than offer - and quite simply, that is why the price will only continue to rise, slowly but surely.
As a result, investing a classic car - provided that you can select the right models and one of the best examples available, is the best use that you could make of a reasonable amount of money: from 50.000 to 300.000 Euros, there are opportunities that it would be very wise to catch ...
Very similar to the famous art masters Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse, the greatest car makers of History have now disappeared (with rare exceptions such as Pagani) - very few have been decisive and quick enough to buy theese masters' paintings when they were still affordable.
One of the best examples if probably the very first Countach (LP400), much rarer and more important than the Miura (around 130 Countach LP400 still in existence, against over 600 Miura). The LP400 Countach is without any doubt one of the moste remarkable cars of the XX the Century, both by its History role for Lamborghini, for the GT cars History, and for its combination of outrageous, advanced styling with a state-of-the-Art engine and technical design. If you can buy one, don't hesitate even a second and don't let it go...

They just want to live up to their true expectations. One very special day, you see a car : it's this one and no other - you just need it.
For many educated people, it's a Classic car...
