Description 
The Panoz Esperante GTR-1 (also known as the Panoz GTR-1 and Panoz GTP) is a grand touring race car developed jointly by Panoz Auto Development and Reynard Motorsport for use in various endurance racing championships. Powered by a 6.0L Ford V8 built by Roush Racing, the Esperante GTR-1 bore a passing resemblance to the Panoz Esperante road car on founder Don Panoz's insistence but shared no mechanical relation to the car. Its front mid-engined layout gave rise to a distinctive appearance compared to its competition with the car having a long nose and its cockpit seated far back, giving the car the nickname "Batmobile".
The car entered competition in 1997, competing in both the IMSA GT and FIA GT Championships; six chassis were built, with four going to Europe to be used by DAMS and David Price Racing and two staying in the United States for use by Panoz. The cars were revised for 1998, with one car being modified with an experimental hybrid system by David Price and Zytek and dubbed the Q9 GTR-1 Hybrid; performance of that car was poor and the project was summarily abandoned. The standard GTR-1s however would see far greater success, with a decent showing at that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans and both the teams' and drivers' championships in IMSA. The car was largely retired from competition after 1999 due to abandonment of regulations, with one of the chassis later modified in 2003 by Panoz as a closed-cockpit LMP car and further modified later for the 2004 24 Hours of Le Mans under GTP regulations by Larbre Compétition; it would see one more race at the 2004 1000 km of Spa before being retired for good.
