Panoz: The Spirit of American Endurance Panoz is an American sports car manufacturer with a giant-killing history on the race track. Founded by Don Panoz in 1989 and based in Braselton, Georgia, the company became famous for doing things differently. While European manufacturers moved the engine to the middle, Panoz stuck to the front-engine layout for its race cars, famously defeating factory teams from BMW and Audi at the Le Mans 24 Hours and Sebring. Their road cars, such as the Esperante and the Avezzano, are born from this racing DNA. They feature lightweight aluminum chassis technology and powerful American V8 engines. Panoz vehicles are exclusive and handcrafted, offering a pure, analog driving experience that is increasingly rare. The brand was also a pioneer in experimental technology, funding the revolutionary DeltaWing and exploring green energy racing concepts long before they were mainstream. David vs. Goliath Racing Pedigree: The only American manufacturer to win the GT2 class at Le Mans with a front-engine car in the modern era. Aluminum Tech: Pioneered superplastic forming (SPF) for aluminum body panels, creating lightweight, stiff structures. Exclusivity: Low-volume production ensures that seeing a Panoz on the road is a rare event. Panoz is for the maverick. It is an American sports car that values engineering innovation and endurance history over mass-market appeal. Discover Panoz
