Panoz Esperante GTR-1 road car


One of the few GT1 racers not featured in Forza, the Esperante GTR-1 didn’t have the pedigree of a well-known manufacturer. What it did have was a front mid-engined layout, a unique prospect in GT1 racing, and a 600 hp Roush V8. The car actually had reasonable success, winning a few races at home in the US. Recently, Panoz has started to offer replicas of the original car, providing a unique opportunity to buy a new GT1 racing car.

Gosh, I hope they get the Panoz license again. Along with Callaway, this is other manufacturer that made some fascinating cars using modern muscle car engines.

I’ll always remember it as the fastest car in Midtown Madness 1

Good mock-up. Probably one of the best I’ve seen.

If they decide to put this baby into the game, or in FH6, they should make the racing version a bodykit option.

My brain hatched something; If they decide to put the GTR-1 into the game (with the racing version as a body kit option), they ought to put in an option for a hybrid engine swap as a reference to the Q9 Hybrid racer, A.K.A. “Sparky”, pictured below.
