Pagani S.p.A. is pleased to announce the revival of Modena Design, the company founded by Horacio Pagani in 1991 to develop cutting-edge composite material technologies. This endeavor was driven by his childhood dream: to create the most beautiful car in the world.
«I always remember Leonardo da Vinci's words, saying that Art and Science can walk together hand in hand. Today, we gain an additional limb to walk even faster and more steadily, with the confidence that we can overcome the innovation challenges the future holds.» (Horacio Pagani, Founder & Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili)
Today, Modena Design is a precision CNC machining company primarily focused on the production of parts for the automotive, aerospace, and biomedical industries. Its equipment, software, and tools represent the pinnacle of technology available on the market, ensuring design excellence, top performance, and the highest precision of the manufactured components. What sets Modena Design apart is its commitment to enhancing human expertise, which translates into continuous investments in research, training, and technology. At the heart of the production process is the noble technique of machining from billet, performed with a craftsmanship approach. The revival of Modena Design is crucial for Pagani Automobili to maintain complete control over every aspect of the production of aluminum, titanium, and special metal components—from design and engineering to manufacturing with state-of-the-art equipment. Currently, Modena Design produces over 700 components for each Pagani Utopia, ensuring the exceptional quality that defines every Pagani project.
«For over twenty years, we have been producing components using the technique of machining from billet, where the human element is indispensable. In processes like anodizing and polishing, there's no room for mechanical repetition—no machine, however advanced, can replace the trained eye of a craftsman in capturing the finer details. We firmly believe that excellence is the result of artisanal skills, where each component is hand-finished, a product of extraordinary dexterity and expertise honed through years of training and experience.» (Antonio Gerardi, Chief Operations Officer of Modena Design) The facility is provided with specialized machinery for processing various materials, including high-speed CNC milling centers for shaping raw materials, autonomous machining centers, and high-precision vertical CNC milling centers. The machine park also includes multitasking equipment and systems used for creating unique finishes, meeting the demands of even the most discerning clients. The machine tools, managed by advanced robotic systems, ensure continuous operation seven days a week, with autonomy extending beyond twenty hours a day.

Italy's government is the latest to voice strong opposition to the European Union's plan to phase out new sales of combustion engine vehicles by 2035. While the EU insists that it’s not banning the combustion engine outright, but rather prohibiting vehicles that emit harmful emissions, Italy argues the policy is impractical. Critics believe that unless carbon-neutral synthetic fuels can scale up quickly, the plan will effectively act as a ban. With a tight timeline of just over a decade, many are questioning whether this ambitious goal is realistic.
Italy's Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, has not minced words, calling the EU’s plan “absurd” and labeling it as an "ideological vision" that has already failed. Italy's right-wing government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, argues that a more pragmatic approach is necessary. Rather than enforcing a strict, one-size-fits-all ban across the 27 EU member states, Italy proposes more flexibility for individual countries in achieving decarbonization targets. Minister Adolfo Urso, in charge of business and Made in Italy, is advocating for an earlier review of the 2035 ban, aiming for 2025 rather than the currently scheduled 2026.
According to Urso, the EU’s insistence on transitioning exclusively to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2035 could destabilize Europe’s car industry. He believes that a more gradual shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs would be a more achievable and less risky strategy.
