This time, one of the world\u2019s most forward-thinking entrepreneurs is pairing his newest automotive masterpiece with the legacy of the world\u2019s greatest auto race. The Panoz Abruzzi \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d broke cover today at the Circuit de La Sarthe, an appropriate venue for the world debut of a ground-breaking automobile with a very appropriate delivery and acquisition program for its customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is culmination of equal parts time, effort and dreams,\u201d said Panoz, founder of the Panoz Motor Sports Group. \u201cThe Panoz brand always has prided itself on hand-building and delivering an exotic automobile and experience to our customers. Our new offering takes this to a completely new level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Abruzzi \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d is more than a technological masterpiece from Panoz Auto Development (PAD), based in Hoschton, Ga. It represents a new chapter in automotive production and delivery, tied into the world\u2019s most demanding auto race.<\/p>\n<p>The super sports car will be offered as a strictly limited edition. Only 81 Abruzzi \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d vehicles will ever be produced, corresponding to the number of Le Mans 24 Hour contests between the inception of the race in 1923 and the race to be held in 2013.<\/p>\n<h4>Abruzzi: The Car<\/h4>\n<p>The hand-built Abruzzi \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d is a unique, front-engine, rear-transaxle and rear-radiator super sports car &#8211; road-legal in Europe and many countries of Asia, the Middle East and South America. The powertrain will deliver 600-plus HP with 590 ft.-lbs. of torque. Advanced design and aerodynamics offer astounding downforce and road-holding.<\/p>\n<p>Performance is just one facet that sets the Abruzzi apart from other exotics. It also breaks new ground in environmental design and construction starting with the unprecedented implementation of the R.E.A.M.S.\u00ae &#8211; Recyclable Energy Absorbing Matrix System &#8211; body system that offers environmental, performance and structural advantages like no other automobile body system on the planet. Never used before on any road-going automobile, the multi-layer composite system is lighter than carbon fiber yet equally strong. Unlike carbon fiber however, it is dent-resistant, shatter-proof and recyclable.<\/p>\n<p>Abruzzi also introduces TRIFECTACOOLING\u00ae technology. In addition to a normal high-efficiency radiator, there are stage two and stage three systems that lower coolant temperature on both the inflow to and the outflow from the radiator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are advancements that will open up a new era of automotive design,\u201d Panoz said. \u201cDating back to our first road car \u2013 the AIV Roadster \u2013 PAD has been a believer in efficient construction and design. This philosophy continues with our Abruzzi.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Abruzzi: The Experience<\/h4>\n<p>The Panoz Abruzzi harkens back to a day where drivers would pilot their cars to Le Mans, race it twice around the clock then drive back home. It essentially captures the \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d with a never-before-seen acquisition program that sets a new standard for personalization and delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Given the roots of Panoz\u2019s automotive dreams, it is only appropriate that the Abruzzi \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d will be delivered to its owners at the famed Circuit de la Sarthe, shipped directly there from the Panoz factory. Each automobile will be linked to a specific Le Mans 24 Hour race, with the chassis number also containing that specific race date and the initials of the winning drivers and the history of that year.<\/p>\n<p>Professional drivers will instruct owners in driving the car on the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans. Service and repairs also will be attended to at the ACO facilities of the Circuit 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n<p>New vehicle owners also will be invited to the 24 Hours of Le Mans as guests of the ACO and Panoz at the ACO\u2019s hospitality facilities in the \u201cModel Sportif\u201d at the circuit. New owners also will have the unique opportunity to drive a parade lap of the full 8.3-mile circuit at that year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n<p>During the Le Mans race week a \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d reception will be held at the clubhouse of the famed Golf Des 24 Heuers in the historic town of Arnage. The new owners for that year will be the guests of the ACO officials and past \u201cSpirit of Le Mans\u201d award winners such as Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing associated with the ACO and Le Mans is something very special to me,\u201d Panoz said. \u201cBeing able to stand side-by-side with the heroes and legends of Le Mans gives me a sense of appreciation and passion for this grand event. I felt it was important to give our customers the same experience, and I am grateful to our partners at the ACO for helping make this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Panoz Auto Development produces leading-edge, fully certified automobiles and is best known for the first US-manufactured AIV (Aluminum Intensive Vehicle) &#8211; the Panoz AIV Roadster. The Panoz Esperante body and chassis also extensively employs aluminum for performance, safety and efficiency. The Panoz Esperante GTLM earned world-famous stature as a race car by winning the GT2 category at both the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a single year \u2013 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Panoz Auto Development<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans2.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2011 Panoz Abruzzi \u2018Spirit of Le Mans\u2019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans2-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans2-100x48.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans2-770x371.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans2-293x141.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans3.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2011 Panoz Abruzzi \u2018Spirit of Le Mans\u2019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans3-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans3-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans3-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2011 Panoz Abruzzi \u2018Spirit of Le Mans\u2019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans1-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans1-100x52.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans1-770x400.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/2011_Panoz_AbruzziSpiritofLeMans1-293x152.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">submitted by<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">admin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Concept \/ Prototype Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2011 Panoz Abruzzi \u2018Spirit of Le Mans\u2019 LE MANS, France \u2013 Don Panoz again has captured the Spirit of Le Mans.
