Costruzione Italiana Macchine Attrezzi (CIMA, "Italian Machine Tool Company") is an Italian gear, powertrain, and transmission manufacturer based in Bologna.

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,^[a] Porsche, Harley-Davidson,^[3] Minarelli, and Honda.^[4] In 1980 what is now the Coesia Group [it] purchased CIMA, who went on to expand the into more machinery markets as well as marine applications.^[5] In the 90s, 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^[b] are found in many low volume supercars.^[c]^[13]^[2]^[8]

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.

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.
