6k-Mile 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM Roadster: The Supercharged Footnote Nobody Asked For
"The Panoz Esperante is what happens when a boutique manufacturer tries to build a legitimate sports car and mostly succeeds at obscurity."
— Revvly Take
This near-virgin 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM roadster sat dormant until its current owner grabbed it on BaT in October 2021, and it's still wearing that original Chili Pepper Red like it just rolled off the line. The supercharged 4.6-liter V8 makes this one of the few roadster variants that actually got the racing pedigree—not just the styling department's fantasy. Panoz built maybe a hundred of these before moving on to other things, which explains why you've never seen one.
