2002 Panoz Esperante

This 2002 Panoz Esperante was sold on BaT in October 2022, and it was subsequently brought to British Columbia, Canada. It is finished in Silver Metallic over black leather, and it is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a black convertible top, dual exhaust system, four-wheel independent suspension, 17″ BBS alloy wheels, a JVC stereo, cruise control, and air conditioning. This Esperante has 15k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer in Canada with the owner’s manual, literature, a toolkit, a clean Carfax report, and British Columbia registration. The Esperante’s body panels are constructed of superplastic-formed aluminum and are mounted over a modular extruded-aluminum chassis with bonded and bolted steel subframes. This example is finished in Silver Metallic with a black convertible soft top, fender vents, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. Imperfections include a hole in the soft top, blemishes on the front bumper cover, a paint chip inside the gas door, and flaws around the body. The 17″ BBS RX alloy wheels are mounted with a mixture of Continental and BFGoodrich tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension, and stopping power is provided by ventilated discs at each corner. The bucket seats are upholstered in black leather that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Cabin amenities include a JVC stereo, cruise control, and air conditioning. Centrally mounted instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 15k miles. The 4.6-liter Modular V8 was factory rated at 320 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, which is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage.
