The Fascinating Story of Panoz
Founded in 1989 by Don Panoz , a former pharmaceutical executive who transitioned to the automotive industry, the Panoz brand perfectly embodies the American entrepreneurial spirit applied to motorsport. Unlike traditional manufacturers, Panoz took a revolutionary approach from the outset, favoring extruded aluminum for its chassis, a technique that was not widely used in the automotive industry at the time.
The adventure began with the AIV Roadster (Aluminum Intensive Vehicle), the brand's first production model, which already demonstrated the Panoz philosophy: combining performance, lightness, and technological innovation. This atypical approach quickly attracted the attention of the motorsport world, leading the brand to the most demanding circuits on the planet.
Panoz's commitment to motor racing was reflected in the creation of exceptional prototypes such as the LMP-1 and LMP-900, true technological laboratories that allowed the brand to compete with European giants on endurance circuits. This golden period gave rise to the models most sought after by collectors today.
A brand that marked its time
The history of Panoz is inseparable from that of modern American motorsport . At a time when American manufacturers were gradually abandoning international competition, Don Panoz had the audacity to create a brand capable of competing with Ferrari, Porsche or Audi on their own playing fields.
A key milestone in Panoz's history remains its acquisition of the Road Atlanta circuit in 1996, transforming the manufacturer into a true player in the American automotive ecosystem. This visionary approach allowed Panoz to develop and test its prototypes in optimal conditions, thus contributing to the development of technologies that subsequently equipped production cars.
The brand also played a pioneering role in the use of composite materials in production automobiles, innovations that have now become standard in the industry. This pioneering approach is faithfully reproduced in every Panoz Model car, a testament to this period of intense innovation.
