This 2001 Panoz Esperante is finished in Silver Metallic over black leather and is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a dual exhaust system, four-wheel independent suspension, 17″ BBS alloy wheels, a CD stereo, cruise control, and air conditioning. The seller purchased the car in 2020 and has since added approximately 7,500 of the 35k miles. This Esperante won multiple car show awards under current ownership and is now offered with the owner’s manual and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The Esperante’s body panels are constructed of superplastic-formed aluminum and are mounted over a modular extruded-aluminum chassis with bonded and bolted steel subframes. This example is finished in Silver Metallic with fender vents, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. Wear is noted on the soft top, and there are chips in the paint.
The 17″ BBS alloy wheels are mounted with 255/45 Westlake tires that were reportedly installed in March 2024. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension, and stopping power is provided by ventilated discs at each corner with dual-piston calipers up front.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black leather that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Cabin amenities include a CD stereo, cruise control, and air conditioning.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts centrally mounted instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 35k miles, approximately 7,500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.6-liter Modular V8 was factory rated at 320 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The oil was changed in April 2024, at which time the trunk struts were replaced.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage.
