Wanted: Responsible Person to Drive World’s Top Supercars

How’s this for a dream job? Britain’s Repairacar is seeking a very special someone who can drive supercars from a customer’s address to one of their repair shops and back. It’s all very glamorous – the opportunity to drive supercars as diverse as Aston Martins, Ferraris and even the occasional Zonda or Bugatti Veyron – though it does include some taking of public transport.

A company spokesperson explains:“[The successful applicant] will also be expected to make their own way back to base from any corner of the UK and Europe – using public transport.”

So what they’re offering are a couple of hours on a bus or train in return for the chance to drive a selection of the world’s greatest supercars? Who could say no? Well, Repairacar, for one. You see, they’re not just looking for any Tom, Dick or Harry:

New Pagani Huayra Roadster Imagined

A lot of things still remain unknown about the new Pagani Huayra, but if the outgoing Zonda is anything to go by, it's almost certain that the company will eventually expand the supercar's range with special editions, Clubsport models and of course, a roadster version. Teamspeed forum resident and photoshop specialist Wild-Speed, who you may remember from his recent work on the 2013 Porsche Cajun 3-door SUV, has now made use of his talents to chop the roof off the Huayra Coupe and provide us with a glimpse of what a future roadster variant might look like.

It's only logical to assume that if or rather when Horacio Pagani's company decides to develop an open-top Huayra, it will follow a similar formula to the Zonda Roadster, keeping the weight at the same levels as the coupe through special construction techniques and materials, with production to be limited to double digit numbers.

VIDEO: Second Pagani C9 Teaser Shows Interior Details

We didn’t have to wait long for the second teaser of the Pagani C9 to be released and, fortunately, this time it’s more about the car than some presumably good Italian coffee. The clip shows some of the interior’s highlights. Amidst the symphony of exposed metal parts and high quality leather, we could make out a Ferrari 458 Italia-style steering wheel, with all sorts of switches (including index controls), and the engine key featured in the first teaser. Video and screenshots available after the jump.

VIDEO: Pagani C9 Teaser Shows Scale Model with Engine Key

One would expect an action-filled teaser for a supercar like the upcoming Pagani C9, which will replace the aging Zonda, but the Italian maker approached the task in a more laid-back manner, choosing to show us a man enjoying some coffee and the written news. And then, at the end of the clip, he picks up something that resembles a scale model of the new supercar incorporating what appears to be the engine key. Now, is this the best way to start your day or what? Video after the jump.

Se você, assim como eu, não tem o poder aquisitivo para ter em sua garagem um Pagani Zonda, imagine a versão exclusiva feita pela automaker que a produção não chega a dez unidades.

O Zonda Cinque é uma versão super exclusiva de um super carro que é somente feita para o Zonda R. Pagani pretende produzir apenas cinco unidade para um pequeno grupo de compradores que poderão incluir você.

Na Alemanha o preço fica em 1,6 milhões de euros. E ai vai encarar?

Aproveite e veja as fotos dele, pois provavelmente é o mais perto que a maioria de nos poderá chegar.

Vídeo: Pagani Zonda R

Apenas vendo as fotos do Pagani Zonda R não dá para se ter uma ideia do que ele é capaz ou mesmo como é o seu “rugido”, mas o pessoal da EVO disponibilizou um vídeo para matar nossa curiosidade.
