Pagani (automotive company)

Pagani is an Italian company that produces carbon fiber parts and hypercars. Horacio Pagani of Argentina created the business, which has its headquarters in San Cesario sul Panaro, an Italian town close to Modena. In 1988, Pagani Composite Research was established by Horacio Pagani, who earlier oversaw Lamborghini's composites division. The Diablo, the P140 design concept, the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition, and other projects that this new firm worked on with Lamborghini are just a few examples. Pagani started creating his own automobile, known at the time as the "C8 Project," in the late 1980s. In honor of Juan Manuel Fangio, an Argentinean friend and five-time Formula One champion, Pagani intended to rename the C8 the "Fangio F1." 
To fulfill the rising demand for his design, engineering, and prototyping skills, Pagani founded Modena Design in 1991. He started building a Fangio F1 prototype in 1992, and by 1993, the car had successfully completed favorable tests at the Dallara wind tunnel. Mercedes-Benz agreed to provide V12 engines to Pagani in 1994. These cars are priced at a total of $2.3 million. The Zonda C12, the first in the Zonda range, was the last vehicle (the Fangio F1 name was dropped out of respect for Fangio, who died in 1995). 
Its debut was in 1999 at the Geneva Motor Show. Pagani declared in 2005 that it will increase its production output over the following three years and join the American market in 2007. On June 30, 2010, Pagani claimed to have broken the previous record set by the Ferrari 599XX by completing the Nürburgring in 6:47 with the Pagani Zonda R. Zonda, Pagani's debut vehicle is powered by the mid-mounted DOHC V12 engine that powers that is made by Mercedes-AMG Benz's division. The car's distinctive design features, such as its circular four-pipe exhaust system, were influenced by jet fighters and the renowned Sauber-Mercedes Silver Arrow Group C vehicles. 
The Pagani Huayra, the Pagani Zonda's replacement, was first made public online on January 25, 2011, in a press release. In 2011, it made its formal debut at the Geneva Automotive Show. Huayra-tata, the Incan god of the wind, is the name of the automobile. The engine is a 6.0-liter twin-turbo M158 V12 from Mercedes-AMG that generates 1,000 Nm (740 lb-ft) of torque and 544 kW (740 PS; 730 hp). The body of the Huayra is built of carbotanium, a lightweight alloy of titanium and carbon fiber. The vehicle has a top speed of 235 mph (378 km/h) and can go from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.2 seconds. Only 100 Huayra vehicles, each costing £1,000,000 without extras, were made.
