History

Horacio Pagani, an Argentina-born Italian, who formerly managed Lamborghini's composite department, founded Pagani Composite Research in 1988. This new company worked with Lamborghini on numerous projects, including the restyling of the 25th Anniversary Countach, the P140 design concept, and the Diablo. In the late 1980s, Pagani began designing his own car, then referred to as the "C8 Project". Pagani planned to rename the C8 the "Fangio F1" to honor five-time Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio. Horacio Pagani is the founder of Pagani Autmobili spa. ...

In 1991 Pagani established Modena Design to meet the increasing demand for his design, engineering, and prototyping services.

Relationship with Daimler
