Dan Panoz is the Owner at Panoz Engineering Services in Hoschton, Georgia. The company was founded in 1989 with the goal of creating a small volume manufacturer with the manta – Reliability Value Performance. The result was the Panoz Roadster, a class performer, 2-seat Ford powered sports car. In 1996 the second generation Roadster was created and in 2000 the third vehicle, the Panoz Esperante was born. The Esperante is both a sports car and a GTS spec racer. And in 2006 they won their class in the 12 hours of Sebring and the 24 hours of Le Mans. Panoz Engineering continues to offer special project services to outside companies while building Panoz road and race cars built to order for customers today.

Great interview – really interesting to hear from Dan Panoz about the company that successfully created the American Ferrari. Took his car to Le Mans and beat them all. Truly inspiring. With the soon to be released film Ford vs Ferrari, his story should be better known.
Hi David –
Be sure to listen to my talk with his father Don. So sorry we have lost him however his words are forever recorded here at Cars Yeah.
