Chapter VI - Pagani Mercedes Relationship

Pagani has a partnership with AMG the in-house Mercedes tuning company. This is partly due to the fact that Juan Manuel Fangio the five time Formula One champion and the inspiration for Horacio Pagani, had suggested that Pagani approach Mercedes to build the engine for their new car. The Zonda has used increasingly advanced versions of the M120 V12 engine, the first version displaced 6.0L, but current Zondas use a 7.3L engine. Pagani has also assisted in the development of the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve.
