Panoz revealed Panoz Abruzzi Spirit of Le Mans

Panoz the US car manufacturer revealed the hand built Panoz Abruzzi Spirit of Le Mans. The car will be limited to 81 vehicles, and is guaranteed to be street legal in Asia, Europe, Middle East and South America.

Panoz Abruzzi Spirit of Le MansThe Panoz Abruzzi car is powered with an engine system that produces over 600HP or 447 kW / 608 PS and up to 590 ft-lb or 799 Nm of torque. The 81st 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race will take place in 2013, most likely with the limited edition car.

This is culmination of equal parts time, effort and dreams. The 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 said in a report by company founder Don Panoz.

The engine will be mounted at the front, though an advanced radiator will be mounted at the back. The car body uses a multi layer composite material instead of carbon fiber because it is lighter, just as strong, more resistant to damage, and recyclable. The cars have own unique progressions. Items like the dual front split and carved front end have been seen before, but not in the way portrayed here. The elimination of the front headlight bulbs, in place of LED lighting strips, looks interesting, as do the side sills. A nice revision can be seen at the back, where the rear end has styling that better matches the front.

The customers will be able to get driver training at the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans, while getting VIP treatment at a 24 Hours of Le Mans event. The cost of Panoz Abruzzi Spirit of Le Mans has not been announced by Panoz.
