Very rare Panoz AIV Roadster. Only 176 ever built over 4 model years. Ford 4.6L 32 valve V-8, 300 hp, 5 speed manual. Ford IRS rear axle. Good support available from the Panoz factory in Georgia. Attracts lots of attention at car shows, most people have never seen one in person. ...
Our Take:
- Limited Production Run: The Panoz AIV Roadster is a rare gem with only 176 units produced from 1996 to 1999, making it a special find for collectors. This limited production means you're unlikely to see another one even at the most crowded car shows—quite the conversation starter!
- Aluminum Intensive Vehicle: The "AIV" in its name stands for Aluminum Intensive Vehicle, which was quite the innovation at the time. Panoz employed an aluminum chassis to keep the weight down and the performance up—a strategy reminiscent of the lightweight designs seen in racing.
- Heart of a Mustang: Under the hood, the Panoz AIV Roadster sports a Ford 4.6L 32-valve V8 engine that cranks out 300 horsepower. This is the same engine type you'd find in the 90s Mustang Cobra, so it's got the heart of a pony with the soul of an exotic roadster.
- Southern Charm with Racing Pedigree: Built by Panoz, a company renowned for its racing pedigree, this roadster has a unique Southern flair, hailing from Georgia. The brand's motorsport success, particularly in endurance racing, adds a layer of performance credibility to this otherwise rare roadster.
