GT5 Transcripts/Panoz Esperante GTR-1 Race Car '98

In 1989, a new automaker was established under the parent company Irish Chassis Design Co., which at one time had been represented by Frank Costin. The name of the new automobile manufacturer was Panoz.
Panoz's general concept was to take the Spartan and other wild sports cars from before the 60s and polish them up to the acceptable standard of today by using the latest technology. Panoz first tried its hand in competition in GT car races starting in 1997, and for that reason, this car is a classic.
With its short-nosed long-decked classical form, the Panoz GTR-1 separated itself from other competitors of the time - such as the Viper - with the design that made it a pure race car, as opposed to a street model.
The vehicle's chassis was a full-carbon monocoque which was designed by Reynard. Although it was an FR, with its near-formula layout, which included a pushrod double wishbone front and back suspension, it was a new generation FR race car.
The car's engine, designed by Jack Roush racing, which is actually second only to Ford Works in NASCAR and SCCA Trans-Am, is a 6L V8 OHVMiswritten as "V80HV" in-game. which is capable of putting out roughly 592 HP.
This engine is based on the Ford small-block, but it is an all-aluminum, fuel injected dry sump special, differentiating it even from those in NASCAR use. The transmission is a rear-mounted transaxle. Later, Panoz GTR-1s from 1999 received the moniker Panoz Esperante GTRMiswritten as "Esperanto" in-game., which chassis development conducted entirely in-house.
