Our Take:
- Rare Breed: The 2003 Panoz Esperante is already a unique beast given its low production numbers, but this particular model being a GTS race series car elevates its rarity. Panoz, a small manufacturer known for blending American muscle with European design sensibilities, produced very few of these motorsport-ready versions, making it a real gem for collectors and racers alike.
- Track-Ready Monster: With its tube frame chassis and 351 Windsor engine, this Esperante is a pure race machine. The engine, freshly built by Tristar Engines, offers a potent mix of power and reliability; it's perfect for those long days at the track where every lap matters.
- Reinforced Performance: The rebuilt Tremec 6-speed transmission by Walter Motorsports, coupled with Penske shocks, suggests this car is not just about raw power but also about refined handling. These upgrades ensure that the car doesn't just look the part but performs seamlessly, even in the most demanding racing conditions.
- History in the Making: Panoz, though not as widely recognized as Ferrari or Porsche, has made its mark in motorsports history, especially in endurance racing. Owning this Esperante GTS isn't just about the here and now; it's about being a part of that legacy and experiencing a slice of racing history every time you hit the track.
