Panoz Production

[Boxer]

How many road cars does Panoz produce a year?

[Ackmann]

I don't think they really did it that way. A number of them were custom ordered. I think I read that they produced around 65 Esperantes the first year in 2001 and 2005 was their largest production year. I thought I read that total Esperante production was around 300. I'm hoping to get total number from the Manufacture to post.

Assume then that they are all built to order.

Back then it was about 50/50 from what I hear. Plenty were built preorder for dealers inventory. Not much has been built since 07 and those were built as 2006 models. We should hear about the new model their working on before the end of the year. It will be interesting to hear what the production numbers will be since some of the companies they had as dealers haven't survived the economic slow down. I'm sure it will be limited numbers for the first couple years and will ramp up with better times and more distribution outlets. I think this one may be a coupe. I tell you what I think would be cool is a GT with a convertable hard top like the Mercedes and new Ferrari.
