Costruzione Italiana Macchine Attrezzi (CIMA, "Italian Machine Tool Company") is a gear, powertrain, and transmission manufacturer based in Bologna, Italy.
CIMA was founded in 1942 as a manufacturer of gear machining equipment before producing its own gears in 1946. Beginning in the 1950s CIMA supplied gears for automobile and motorcycle racing applications, [1] including Scuderia Ferrari, [lower-alpha 1] Porsche, Harley-Davidson, [3] Minarelli, and Honda. [4] In 1980 what is now the Coesia Group purchased CIMA, who went on to expand the into more machinery markets as well as marine applications. [5] In the 1990s, CIMA expanded its reach to the aeronautical industry and found more success in racing. [6] After advancing their low pressure vacuum carburizing and gas quenching methods in 2002, CIMA developed even higher performance transmissions for road and race applications. Their transaxles [lower-alpha 2] are found in many low volume supercars. [lower-alpha 3] [13] [2] [8]

The Pagani Zonda R is a track day car developed and manufactured by Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani. It debuted at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, using the 6.0-litre GT 112 engine sourced from the racing version of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. The Zonda R's competition lies with track-based cars, such as the Ferrari FXX and Maserati MC12 Corsa rather than the original Zonda's road competitors as it is not road-legal.
Cima, a gear company that has, in the past, built transmissions for the Ferrari and Porsche racing efforts, was consulted.
...the Arrow comes with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 unit, good for 1,000 PS and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft). Those numbers are being put to good use through a fully synchronized sequential 7-speed CIMA transmission with a twin plate clutch configuration.
At the center of the Hussarya, we find a supercharged GM 6.2-liter V8, which churns out 650 hp and 604 lb-ft (818 Nm) of torque. This is mated to an automated manual transmission. Supplied by Italian producer CIMA, the gearbox offers six ratios.
A sequential paddle shifter is under consideration for the Zonda, but the six-speed manual built by CIMA will be the only gear set offered for a couple of more years. As great as the Lamborghini's six-speed manual is, the Pagani's is a marvel of its own.
The new transmission, sourced from Italy's CIMA, features seven forward gears and a single clutch. Gear shifts are said to take place in as little as 35 milliseconds, making this one of the fastest shifting, single clutch transmissions in the world.
