Pagani vs. Lamborghini: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit

Source: Need for Speed | Published: Sun Nov 21, 2010

Electronic Arts has just released a real-life, full-motion video, showing the Pagani Zonda Cinque and a police Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 chasing up the majestic Italian Alps.

10 miles from Cortina D'Ampezzo, in a mountain pass known as Passo di Falzarego, the two cars there drifting, turning and chasing each other. After a few unsuccessful attempts from the police Murcielago to bring the Zonda to a halt, a chopper was called in for assistance. Check out the movie to see how it all ends (or, actually, doesn't end).

With only five examples of the Pagani Zonda Cinque in existence, getting one of the owners to give up their car was an unlikely proposition, so an alternative was proposed. For the filming, the good folks at Pagani built a Zonda Cinque prototype out of their workhorse development Zonda - a process supervised entirely by Horacio Pagani himself, who was involved in the project from start to finish.

Creating the Zonda's chiseled exterior was only half the challenge. Replicating its trademark banshee wail - one of the most unique and remarkable engine notes in the automotive world - was done meticulously and appears in the video as well as in Hot Pursuit. In fact, a separate audio recording session was done with the Cinque.

The Murcielago, originally painted slate gray, was affixed with cop lights provided by a film studio in Vancouver and sent to Lamborghini's official body shop in Modena, Italy to be wrapped in black-and-white Seacrest County PD livery.

With about two million dollars in sexy Italian supercars roaring around the Dolomites, they had a helicopter to film the chase, with a $500,000 Cineflex camera - frequently used by news, police, military, and high-end film crews - strapped to its nose. And since they had so much fun wrapping the Lambo in SCPD colors, they gave the chopper the same treatment.
