Zonda

One Off Zonda Tricolore

Check out this cool car! It's the Pagani Zonda Tricolore and it's undergone another change prior to the C9 launch which will be with us very soon. The new Tricolore is a Zonda based on the unique Cinque model. There will be a single Zonda Tricolore created and it will sell for $1.75 million. This model is special because it will have an Italian flag paint job, followed by a new set of exterior pieces. It will be strutting it stuff at the Geneva Show and if these pictures are anything to go by, it will be a hit!

Wiesmann

Wiesmann Roadster

Check out how cool this Wiesmann Roadster car is! Wisemann is an automobile manufacturer in Germany. The company was founded in 1985 by the brothers Martin Wiesmann and Friedhelm Wiesmann. The cars are manufactured by hand in Dülmen.

The company originally manufactured custom hard-tops for convertibles, which they continue to do. The first roadster left the workshop in 1993. As of 2006, they produce the Wiesmann MF 3 and MF 30 roadsters and the Wiesmann GT MF 4 coupé, all of which utilize engine and transmission components supplied by BMW.

The Wiesmann logo portrays a gecko, as Wiesmann cars "stick to the road like geckos to a wall".

Wiesmann had plans to begin exporting vehicles to the USA by 2010, but recent reports indicate that Wiesmann has no immediate plans to sell vehicles in the United States because of exchange rates and the high costs of modifying and testing the cars in order to make them road-legal there.

Here are pictures of the cool Wiesmann Roadster at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show 2009:
