Classic Car Overview
Only 25K Miles 5-Speed Manual 1 of the First 13 Built
Now available with Gulf Coast Exotic Auto is this rare and historically significant 2001 Panoz Esperante, believed to be the 13th example produced and reportedly the very car featured in the July 2001 issue of Car and Driver magazine.
Finished in a striking blue exterior with a black convertible soft top and tan leather interior, this American-built roadster combines hand-crafted aluminum construction with raw V8 power. Under the hood is a 4.6-liter Ford Modular V8, factory-rated at 320 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, making for an engaging and visceral driving experience.
Built on a modular extruded-aluminum chassis with bonded and bolted steel subframes, the Esperantes body panels are formed from lightweight superplastic-formed aluminum. Handling is sharp thanks to a four-wheel independent suspension, while ventilated disc brakes provide confident stopping power at all corners.
It rides on 17 BBS RX alloy wheels wrapped in 255/45 Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, giving it a perfect stance and grip to match its performance. Inside, youll find a power-adjustable drivers seat, air conditioning, CD stereo, and cruise control, blending classic sports car feel with comfort for the road.
This car recently passed a California SMOG inspection in March 2024, ensuring its ready to enjoy. With its unique provenance, low mileage, and desirable drivetrain, this Esperante is an excellent addition to any collectors stable or a thrilling driver for someone who appreciates standout engineering and American craftsmanship.
