- Official Page - The official Pagani Automobili twitter channel Pagani Automobili is a supercar manufacturer based in San Cesario sul Panaro, Modena. Pagani Automobili S.p.A. is an Italian Supercar manufacturer. The company was founded in 1993 by Horacio Pagani, and is based in San Cesario sul Panaro, near Modena, Italy. The philosophy driving the company embraces a concept borrowed from the Renaissance. It is embodied by the great Leonardo da Vinci over 500 years ago, when he stated: "Art and Science were disciplines that must walk together hand in hand." Horacio Pagani, who formerly managed Lamborghini's composites division, worked for Lamborghini from 1984 to 1992. In the late 1980s Horacio Pagani began designing his own car, then referred to as the "C8 Project". Horacio Pagani planned to name the C8 the "Fangio F1" to honour his friend and mentor, the five-time Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio. In 1991 Horacio Pagani established Modena Design to meet the increasing demand for his design, engineering, and prototyping service, particularly for the state of the art composite materials. In 1993 he started the construction of the Fangio F1 prototype and the car was tested at the Dallara wind tunnel with reassuring results. In 1994, influenced again by his World Champion mentor, Mercedes-Benz agreed to supply Horacio Pagani with their prestigeous V12 engines. In 1999 at the Geneva Motorshow Pagani Automobili rocked the automotive world with the unveiling of the Pagani Zonda. Acclaimed as an instant classic, the Zonda models went on to win numerous awards and find themselves in the elite group of supercars appreciating in value as time passes. While an independent company, Pagani Automobili has a long standing relationship with Mercedes AMG for the development of outstanding bespoke engines. The Zonda has used increasingly advanced versions of the M120 V12; the Pagani Zonda C12 was launched with a 6.0L V12 engine with 394 hp and culminated in the Zonda Cinque with its 7.3L V12 and 678 hp. Along side road going Zondas and part of development for future models, Pagani created an uncompromising track version in 2010, the Zonda R. A statement of what was technically possible at the time, the Zonda R lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6:47 min, a time yet to be beaten by production derived track cars. In 2011 Pagani Automobili presented Horacio’s latest creation, the Pagani Huayra. Despite the young history, Pagani Automobili has been critically acclaimed by the automotive media, opinion leaders and car enthusiasts in general all over the world. Numerous awards and records justified its reputation since the Zonda won the first EVO car of the year in 2001. The Zonda has evolved into an icon, a car that has become a collector’s item. The new Pagani Huayra is already earning it’s own iconic status, winning the three most prestigious European Car of the Year awards in 2012. On top, of that the Stig (TopGear’s mighty racing driver) produced an astonishing 1:13.8 at TopGear test track; the fastest road car ever around the famous BBC world known TopGear TV program.

The company was founded in 1992 by the Argentinian Horacio Pagani, and is based in San Cesario sul Panaro, near Modena, Italy. Pagani's first model, the Zonda, is propelled by mid-mounted V-12 DOHC engines manufactured by Mercedes-Benz's AMG division. The car's design was inspired by jet fighters and the famous Sauber-Mercedes Silver Arrow Group C cars, and features several unique design elements, including its circular four pipe exhaust. The Pagani Huayra was officially debuted online with many pictures in a press release on January 25, 2011. The official world debut was at the Geneva Auto Salon 2011 in March. It is the successor to the Pagani Zonda. It is named Huayra after the Incan god of wind.[6] Pagani expects to build no more than 40 each year and each will sell for £1,000,000. The engine is a M158 twin-turbo 6.0 Litre V12 from Mercedes' AMG division producing 720 horsepower (537 kW)[7] and 1,000 N·m (740 lb·ft) of torque.[7] The Huayra's main body is made from carbontanium (a mix of carbon fiber and titanium, also very light). The Huayra has been redesigned from the ground up, but shares many visual qualities with the outgoing Zonda. The top speed has gone up from the 220 mph (350 km/h) ( set by the Zonda F Roadster ) to 235 mph (378 km/h), and the 0–100 km/h time is 3.2 seconds. When the car was driven round the Top Gear test track by The Stig it set a lap time of 1:13.8, making it the fastest road car round the track.
