Classic Panoz, never change as long as you continue existing please.

"Avezzano" a funny way to spell "Esperante, the same glorified SVT Mustang that Panoz has been selling for 17 years"

 

[AudiMan2011]

That back end around the rear lights area looks like it came off a Ferrari 360. Front is ugly.

Uncool.

 

[Heldenzeit]

They still make these?

 

[Northstar]

They still make these?

They recently started again so they can race them.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

"You spent how much on that?"

Uncool, almost seriously so.

 

[Michelin Man]

Whilst the Avezzano is no more than an updated Esperante, I still love Panoz for it, always liked them for being a somewhat unique brand, what with their race cars too. It's also one of the better, if not best looking road car's too. And whilst, underneath it may be considered "old-hat", I suppose it's that old philosophy; "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Plus it's something different, a rarer commodity to your typical sports car, so thumbs up from me there.

Either way, whilst not my favourite Panoz, it's a comfortable cool here.

 

[UltimateYosh]

It's another Esperante. I'm honestly shocked they still make these and I've always thought these things were incredibly ugly machines.

Uncool.

 

[Famine]

Anyone remember during the Xbox presentation where the guy who kept biting his bottom lip after every sentence claimed there was something amazing about "the power of X", so decided they were going to call the new console "Xbox One X"?

Someone at Panoz clearly had the same conversation, only with Z.

Anyway, this looks like the unholy union of a Porsche 911 and a Datsun 240Z at the front, and the Mk2 MX-5 Coupe at the back. It's awful. And any car you need three Scrabble sets to spell is hideously uncool.

 

[Turbo]

Looks like a deformed version of some supercar from GTA V.

 

[titleguy1]

When was the last time Panoz was relevant?

 

[Turbo]

When was the last time Panoz was relevant?

It never really was and never will be.

 

[McLaren]

There's a link claiming the projected cost is $154,000 (hmm, maybe that's not so bad... ) & $240,000 (wait, what?!).

That's 488 GTB money.

I applaud them for sticking to that design, but uncool. I can't imagine more than 10 being built.

 

[Aphelion]

Why does this car look like its from the early 2000s? So odd...

 

[Cowboy]

Seriously Uncool because rfactor crashes when I select this car.

Just kidding about the SU part

 

[Nessy]

Had to give it a meh.

It's an ugly car for sure, though it reminds me a bit of a US version of the UK's Marcos Mantis. I actually like the Mantis but this not so much.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

It never really was and never will be.

What do you mean "never really was"? Do you mean as an automotive manufacture, or a race car builder and at times team?

 

[05XR8]

Just buy an MX-5 RF and drop in a V8. Done.

 

[Turbo]

What do you mean "never really was"? Do you mean as an automotive manufacture, or a race car builder and at times team?

I was aware Panoz's involvement with racing, I mean as an automotive manufacturer.

 

[Cowboy]

It never really was and never will be.

 

[SPhilli911]

People are quick to call this uncool just because it's from an obscure company or has a funny sounding name.

It's a 6-speed manual, V8, front engine, RWD sports car with a nice long hood that car people are supposed to love. It's a cool car.

 

[mustafur]

It's like an Ugly Ginetta with a V8.

meh.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Panoz is back..? Not the GTR-1 or Esperante I used to know, but I'll give a Low Cool for it.

The only person in the UK who ever owned a Panoz was Noel Edmonds.

 

[Vegard]

It's not bad from the rear three quarters but the rest just looks herpa derpy. Uncool.

 

[Casper_TFG]

It's cool.

 

[SPhilli911]

Well, when you put it that way....

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Voted SU by accident. Meant to vote cool

 

[Wiegert]

I see the front and I'm reminded of those photos of dogs taken after they'd ripped a chunk out of a wasp nest.

Not sure that's much of an improvement over the melted plastic styling mess of the Esperante. Both are equally uncool.
