Pagani decides against developing an EV supercar after four years of research.
at the Milan Monza motor show."Pagani isn’t going to do something just with good performance, as you can do this [now], but to give emotion to the driver."
The Italian carmaker set up a team in 2018 specifically to look into electric cars. Their goal was to research the viability for global homologation for safety standards while still being able to deliver a signature Pagani experience. “In four years, we never found interest in the supercar market [for an EV],” Pagani told“The idea should be to make a lightweight car, but this is the biggest challenge," Pagani added."The dream would be a 1300-kilogram EV, but this isn’t possible.
Instead Pagani will continue to offer vehicles using V-12 engines sourced from Mercedes-Benz. The former Lamborghini chief engineer toldhe enjoyed working with the brand. “Mercedes is a big company, but you can still sit in front of a few people who decide, speak to them and be listened to,” he said.
