== History ==
[[Horacio Pagani (auto executive)|Horacio Pagani]], who formerly created and managed [[Lamborghini]]'s composites department, founded Pagani Composite Research in 1988. This new company worked with Lamborghini on numerous projects, including the restyling of the [[Lamborghini Countach#25th Anniversary Edition|Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition]], the [[Lamborghini LM002]], the [[Lamborghini P140|P140]] design concept, and the [[Lamborghini Diablo|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 honour his friend, the
In 1991, Pagani established Modena Design to meet the increasing demand for his design, engineering, and prototyping services. In 1992, he began construction of a Fangio F1 prototype, and by 1993, the car was being tested at the [[Dallara]] wind tunnel with positive results. In 1994, [[Mercedes-Benz]] agreed to supply Pagani with V12 engines. The cost of these cars are at a total of 2.3 million dollars.
Line 29:
In 2005, Pagani announced that it planned to triple its production output within the next three years, and to enter the US market in 2007.
On 30 June 2010, Pagani claimed a new record for production-based cars using the [[Pagani Zonda#Zonda R|Pagani Zonda R]] and completing the [[Nürburgring]] in 6:47, beating the [[Ferrari 599XX]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pagani.com/en/news/2010/df52fc4a8b1f4b4b9e11350422bd28c4.aspx |title=Pagani Automobili | News | Nurburgring record Zonda R |access-date=

[[File:Pagani
Pagani's first model, the Zonda, is powered by a mid-mounted [[Overhead camshaft|DOHC]] V12 engine manufactured by [[Mercedes-Benz]]'s [[Mercedes-AMG|AMG]] division. The car's design was inspired by jet fighters and the famous Sauber-Mercedes Silver Arrow Group C cars, and features several unique design elements, including its circular four pipe exhaust system.
The Zonda's production run ended with the [[Zonda HP Barchetta]]. Only three were produced with one unit retained for Horacio Pagani's personal collection and the other two costing US$15M.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/a12042573/pagani-zonda-hp-barchetta/|title=HP Barchetta, the last production Zonda|date=

30 units of the Huayra BC were made, despite the claim by Pagani that the model was limited to 20 units.

Later, Pagani unveiled the Huayra Roadster BC and produced 40 units.
=== Huayra Roadster ===
After 2 years of development, the Huayra Roadster was officially unveiled in the 2017 [[Geneva Motor Show]].<ref name="
The design of the car underwent several changes, with the most noticeable being the rear, with updated eyelid-like fixed flaps that continued with the design and eventually ended on the rear lights. Vents were included on the rear engine cover for efficient cooling of the engine, and the wheels were updated specifically for the car along with [[Pirelli]] P-Zero tires, along with the addition of a spoiler at the front. The car has conventional doors instead of the [[Gull-wing door]]s used in the coupé as such doors cannot be fitted to an open top car. The car has the same [[twin-turbo]] [[V12 engine]] as the coupé but with the power upgraded to {{convert|764|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} at 6,200 rpm and {{Convert|1000|Nm|lbft|abbr=on}} of torque at 2,400 rpm. The power is delivered to the rear wheels via a [[Xtrac]] 7-speed [[sequential manual transmission]] which is 40% lighter than its coupé counterpart. The car was constructed by a material developed by Pagani called 'carbon triax', which is a combination of tri-axis [[fibre glass]] with [[carbon fibre]]. This allowed the car to weigh {{cvt|70|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} less than its coupé counterpart, for a total of {{convert|1,280|kg|lbs|abbr=on}}, making it the first roadster lighter than the coupé. Only 100 were made, all of which were sold even before production ended.<ref name="
Pagani said that the car could accelerate at 1.8 G.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/pagani-huayra-roadster|title=The Pagani Huayra Roadster pulls a record-breaking 1.8G|last=Barlow|first=Jason|author-link=Jason Barlow|work=British GQ|access-date=8 March 2017
