About
The Panoz Esperante GTR-1, unleashed in 1997, was America’s radical answer to the GT1 era. Powered by a front-mounted 6L Ford V8, it defied convention with its unique layout in a field of mid-engined rivals. Developed with Reynard, the Esperante blended brute muscle with endurance grit, competing in both IMSA and the GT Championship. Though an underdog against factory giants, it became a cult legend, embodying Panoz’s bold, unconventional spirit in international racing.
