The Panoz GTS is built from the ground up as a driver's class spec racer. The Panoz GTS meets all current SCCA technical and safety requirements.

The Panoz GTS features a unique body comprised of fifteen thermoformed panels, making it more durable, less expensive and easier to replace than fiberglass. Also, all Panoz GTS spec racers feature an eight-point integrated roll cage with triple tube side-protection and working doors on both sides of the vehicle. Weighing in at just 2,685 lbs., the Panoz GTS is powered by a Ford Motorsports 5.8 liter, 16-valve V-8 capable of 385 bhp at 5,750 rpm. The Panoz GTS comes race-ready and is available from your authorized Panoz GTS dealer.
