News Project CARS adds Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster, showcased in over 40 sumptuous screenshots

Several updates for Project CARS have been released recently containing all manner of bug fixes and new features, but most notable is the addition of a new car: the Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.

The ultra-rare roadster (only five were made, as the name implies) is showcased in the latest community gallery, with over 40 sumpteous screenshots compiled by the community to kick off the new year in high gear.

As ever, Slightly Mad insist that the images were sourced in-game without the use of a photo mode or additional enhancement effects that aren't available in the game.

Project CARS was also shown off at the recent CES at 4K resolution displayed on a triple screen set up. While the media would have you believe that 4K will take over home entertainment as we know it, in reality it's still a very long way off from becoming mainstream – let alone in the gaming sphere.

Still, it's great exposure for Slightly Mad Studios to see Project CARS used to demonstrate the potential of 4K gaming, not to mention a testament to the quality of its graphics that they still appear crystal clear when scrutinised at such a high resolution.
