The group owns several professional racing series and tracks, and manufactures chassis for professional open-wheel racing. Since 2000, Panoz has produced coupe and roadster versions of the Esperante, an American interpretation of the European Grand Touring car, that are powered by a potent four-cam Ford SVT V8. The Esperante is hand-built in small numbers, and Panoz tailors each car to the customer's taste. This upscale sports car is built almost entirely of aluminum, and features hand-sewn custom leather interiors. It provides a balance of handling and acceleration, finesse and muscle. The Esperante is offered in several models, using variants of the Ford V8 rated from 305 to 420 horsepower. As part of a racing-focused enterprise, Panoz cars have also proven themselves on the racetrack. From 1999 to 2002, Panoz built an all-out race car - the LMP01 Le Mans prototype - and raced it with considerable success in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). In 2003, Panoz introduced the GTLM version of the Esperante, which added a number of racing-inspired enhancements, including the 420 horsepower V8, more aggressive suspension geometry, reduced weight, increased structural stiffness and downforce, and higher-performance brakes and tires. All-out racing versions of the GTLM compete in the ALMS GT2 class."—Official description[1]
Panoz is an American automotive manufacturer of sport and racing cars featured in Forza Motorsport (2005) and in all subsequent Xbox 360 Motorsport titles.
