Good news of ccourse and also very expected,would love to see MB fully acquire Pagani

no no..hell no..
MB should just leave it at engines..dont touch pagani
pagani is something pure and holy..it should remain..

PS
The news is rather old..and ofcourse..like the others say..we wouldnt want it any other way than AMG

AMG? I thought Artist talked Horacio into using Volvo engines instead so that he can see Zondas more often in Gothenburg?

Come on Artist we all know that MB can add to Pagani but not in a way it did with McLaren and SLR.

Couldn't imagine Pagani having anything less. And this is as far as the relationship should go between these two. Hopefully, they get an even more bespoke engine this time around idealy one that is only unique to the next Pagani.

I think this collaboration is perfect and shouldn't go further.

I hope Daimler will not eat Pagani, it would loose some of its independant thinking, thus some of its charm. Keep going like that, with special AMG engines not fitted on other AMGs (except the ultra-rare SL73 AMG), and Pagani chassis and everything else, it's perfect.

they can add by not taking over

and you know i love MB

 

[Sunny]

Yeah, keep Pagani separate, it would suck if MB forced Pagani into doing a SLR.

I only hope that new Pagani will keep that crazy screaming engine sound and not like some old American block like C63 for example... Oh and that the design will change too (yeah, no way, i know)...

i think it depends very much on how they want to set up the engine with exhaust and everything..
that 7.3l unit sound alot more american in MB mode than pagani
so if pagani wants to keep the screemer soundtrack it should be no prob , no matter what engine AMG supply
