The car manufacturer Pagani is a real excellence of Motor Valley Italian. The founder Horacio Pagani had fallen in love with Emilia-Romagna at a distance, in Argentina, when in the magazines he saw the splendid cars that the Italian manufacturers based in the region were making. However, even today, the San Cesario sul Panaro manufacturer is equipped with engines that have very little Italian: Mercedes-AMGs.
In a meeting organized at Milan Monza Motor Show, Pagani explained the reason for this choice. “We must respect our Motor Valley“Said Pagani. “The whole region is made up of people who had nothing and who later created something. This is how I started myself. Just as Fangio believed in me, Mercedes and AMG are also completely open to us. And they work like us. The engine must be something reliable, something to build around a project without too many worries. Working with these Germans is truly a privilege, they are humble people who respect you despite a brand with 140 years of history. You sit and talk smoothly“.
In short, the relationship with Mercedes has been close since the beginning, and when something works over time, with many small changes but without revolutions, it is not necessary to change it. And also in the future, when Mercedes and AMG will only make electric cars, Pagani could follow them on this path, perhaps allowing them to reach the end of the development of the internal combustion engine.
We must not forget that on several occasions Pagani has told of an episode that probably contributed to the search for an external partner, once his project started in the nineties. It is a crucial moment in his career, when he proposed to Lamborghini to buy the autoclave necessary for the carbon parts of the Countach Evoluzione. Lamborghini refused because “even Ferrari did not have it“. A good reason to continue the automotive path alone.
