Pagani Automobili S.p.A. is an Italian automobile manufacturer of high-performance supercars and high quality carbon fiber that Lamborghini also uses in its cars. The company was founded by Horacio Pagani an Argentine company manufacturer, living in Italy; at San Cesario sul Panaro (Modena, Italy). Also involved at the outset was Juan Manuel Fangio, a five-time Formula One champion.

Pagani's only model, the Zonda, is propelled by mid-mounted V-12 DOHC engines manufactured by Mercedes-Benz's AMG division. Its design was inspired by Jet-fighters and the famous Sauber-Mercedes Silver Arrow Group C cars.
