While it is an independent company,
Pagani has a working relationship with Daimler AG,
most notably, with Mercedes' AMG
arm.
This is partly due to the fact that five-time Formula One champion, Juan Manuel Fangio had suggested that
Pagani approach Mercedes.
The Zonda has used increasingly advanced
versions of the M120
V12; the initial version displaced 6.0L, but current Zondas use a 7.3L
engine.
Pagani has also assisted in the development of the Chrysler ME 412.
The M158 engine for the Pagani Huayra is shared with the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series.
However, Pagani has commissioned Mercedes-Benz to reduce turbo lag and
improve response, resulting in new exhaust headers, pistons, intake
manifold and turbos.
