	Car and Driver - Panoz Esperante - October 2000
		The Panoz shows promise of maturing into a shapely, competent roadster, and Danny Panoz promises the first buyers will be able to unload their extra $81,961 on one by this fall, once he obtains tops and bodies for the 100 or so completed chassis sitting in his factory.
		Panoz is aiming for a more classic sports-car experience and succeeds in part with a lower driving position, a compact three-spoke steering wheel that neatly conceals its airbag, and two pontoon fenders that bracket the view out the windshield.
		Throttle response is lustier in the Panoz, and it trounces the Mustang Cobra and the Mangusta in acceleration and braking.

		Panoz is homologating its rapid roadster for Europe and Japan.
		The Esperante is designed to be a practical everyday sports car with room, refinement, reliability and a boot that swallows two golf bags.
		The Esperante is about 80 per cent aluminium; the body is formed from aluminium sections while the chassis is built from extruded aluminium box sections.

	Panoz Esperante (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Supposedly, the Esperante is built on a modular extruded aluminum chassis that Panoz claims is as rigid as a BMW Z8.
		Panoz however, stands out as the only domestic manufacturer to bring a viable competitor to the super-exclusive sports convertible market dominated by European houses BMW, Aston Martin and Mercedes Benz.
		Topping out at 155 mph, the hand crafted Esperante's four-wheel power assisted, electronic three channel, four-sensor disc system warrants a nod and even as this spirit evolves, die-hard fans with a burning passion for speed will be pleased to know there's hope at home.

	2005 Panoz Esperante Review - ForbesAutos.com
		Panoz is among the most exclusive American sports car manufacturers, making its Esperante a solid alternative to high-clout exotic sports cars from overseas.
		Panoz is a small suburban Atlanta sports and racecar builder that caters to a select clientele of wealthy automotive enthusiasts for whom exclusivity and performance matter above all else.
		Panoz was founded in 1989 and put out its first car, the Roadster, a year later.

		The Esperante's aluminum body is made using a process known as superplastic forming that was originally developed for the aerospace industry.
		With a curb weight of 3,279 pounds, the Esperante is comparatively svelte next to Mercedes' SL and Jaguar's XK, both of which tip the scales at over 4,000 pounds.
		The Esperante — while solidly built and comfortable enough to be a daily driver — presents an altogether different alternative.

	Panoz Esperante
		The point behind Panoz cars is to built the best small-volume cars on the planet, and to prove that even an American car company can build a proper sports car that can corner like the very best European cars.
		The Panoz however feels light on its feet, and can really be tossed into corners in ways I just wasn't expecting it to, but am glad it did.
		Performance numbers hence are respectable, yet not spectacular, The regular Esperante should sprint to 60 mph from stop in 5.5 seconds, and tops out at 155 mph, while the GTLM should do the sprint in 4.7 seconds and top out at 175 mph.

		Panoz Esperante owner Patrick Dempsey, the actor and producer who lives in Hollywood, says he likes the U.S. heritage: "It's really important to have it built in this country.
		Their enthusiasm aside, small-volume automaking such as Panoz does is considered an insane pursuit, because costs are high and chances of success are not.

	* Panoz Esperante - (Car): Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Panoz (pronounced “PAY-nose") is one of those companies that doesn't necessarily change its products on a model-year schedule...
		Part Lotus, part Miata, part Ferrari, yet all-American and somehow all its own, the Panoz Esperante proves that high-quality, low-volume GTs can be built in the U.S. and sold for less than $100 grand...
		It is rather ironic, however, that it shares a name with such a powerful car, the Panoz Esperante GT-1 or whatever.

	2003 Panoz Esperante - Elepent Scribbles Automotive Reviews & Features
		Panoz is small, but they're a good operation, and the two Esperantes we sampled both felt well-made.
		Laid out in the traditional front-engine, rear-drive format, the Esperante has an almost absurdly long snout, and the aluminum bodywork is tightly wrapped over the big engine and modular aluminum chassis.
		Like with most handbuilt cars, the Esperante's detailing is especially pleasant; note the curve of the door, whose cutline runs into the front fender and turns the seam into a character line, or the vaguely BMW-ish fender vents.

		Panoz has just announced a coupe version derived from its GTS one-make racer and its in-house tuning division is evaluating a 500bhp supercharged motor; the company is nothing if not confident.

		The result of a belief that a sports car's exotic looks don't have to come at the expense of reliability, and that high performance lies in the whole of the automobile and not just under the hood.

		Borrowing styling touches from vintage Jaguars and Ferraris, the Esperante road car is powered by a modern 4.6L/320-hp SVT Cobra V-8, backed by a five-speed manual that benefits from wonderfully crisp shift linkage.

		When we were asked if we'd like to test a tuner version of a Panoz Esperante roadster, we were skeptical at first.
		Unlike the rakish, front-engine Panoz LMP roadster built and raced by Panoz Motor Sports Group (yup, Danny's father, Don), the GTS is an approachable, even affordable, race car.
		It's certainly a versatile one, as variations of it are used at the Panoz racing school, in Panoz' own single-marque series and certain SCCA classes, and it debuted last year in 700-plus-horsepower SCCA Trans-Am trim, where it took the 2002 manufacturers championship.

	2004 Panoz Esperante GTLM - Road Test - Motor Trend
		Without valet-parking opportunities or trendy boulevards to cruise in rural Georgia, the Esperante's performance had to be measured the old-fashioned way, and it turned out to be engaging to drive and well-behaved at the limit, wagging its tail gradually and only after giving plenty of notice.
		Were one interested in such things, simply switching to a performance tire would broaden the Esperante's handling envelope at some cost to ride quality and foul-weather performance.
		The Esperante GTLM is more convincing as a sports car than as a grand tourer; it lacks such de rigueur amenities as stability control, heated and cooled power seats, concert-quality stereo, a one-touch top, and so on.
