The Pagani Zonda<\/a> may have officially reached the end of its all-new production life, but apparently nobody told the owners.<\/p>\n

The latest proof is the Zonda Cervino, a newly reworked one-off created through Pagani\u2019s Unico division.<\/p>\n

The car began life as a Zonda Roadster S, later became the Oliver Evolution Roadster, and has now been transformed again with fresh bodywork, a new colour scheme and a calmer, more polished look.<\/p>\n

From Oliver to Cervino<\/p>\n

This car has already had more identities than most supercars get owners.<\/p>\n

Around five years ago, it was rebuilt from the ground up as the Zonda Oliver Evolution Roadster, wearing matte silver paint, exposed carbon-fibre detailing and a particularly dramatic aero package.<\/p>\n

\"Pagani<\/p>\n

After being sold last year, it was sent back to Pagani for another makeover. The result is the Cervino, which trades some of the Oliver\u2019s wildness for a cleaner, more elegant finish.<\/p>\n

All exterior panels are new and painted in light blue. The front end gets smaller canards, a different bonnet and new wheels, while the rear has seen the biggest change. The previous double-stacked rear wing has been replaced by a smaller single item, though \u201csmall\u201d is doing some heavy lifting on a Zonda.<\/p>\n

Still very much a Zonda<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some familiar details remain, including the Cinque-inspired roof scoop and shark fin. That means the Cervino still carries the track-bred visual punch expected of a late-life bespoke Zonda, just without looking quite so determined to win an aero argument in the car park.<\/p>\n

Inside, Pagani has gone for a white and blue leather cabin covering the seats, door panels and dashboard. The three-spoke steering wheel has also been retrimmed in blue leather and finished with wooden accents.<\/p>\n

V12 likely carries over<\/p>\n

\"Pagani<\/p>\n

Pagani has not officially disclosed the Cervino\u2019s full mechanical specification. However, it is likely to retain the engine fitted during its Oliver Evolution Roadster conversion.<\/p>\n

That would mean Pagani\u2019s optional 7.4-litre naturally aspirated V12, a bored-out version of the regular 7.3-litre unit designed to deliver extra torque.<\/p>\n

For most carmakers, \u201cfinal edition\u201d usually means final. For Pagani and the Zonda, it seems to mean something closer to \u201csee you after the next owner\u2019s brief.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Zonda Cervino began life as a Pagani Roadster S.
