The 2015 Panoz Esperante Spyder is an American-made custom hand-built sports car. It was built to celebrate the brand’s quarter-century of automobile production. This rock-solid sportscar was designated as a special 25th Anniversary Edition. To give it the popularity and prestige it deserves, only 25 units were built for both the Panoz Esperante Spyder and the uprated Spyder GT.
Both cars were given some serious improvement in areas such as the engine, transmission, suspension, and braking as well as interior and exterior styling changes. Panoz Esperante employs the use of lightweight aluminum, retains and upgraded the superplastic forming (SPF) aluminum chassis. Tubular steel A-pillars and rear subframe bracing, a carbon fiber windshield frame and high-strength steel integrated roll hoops all contribute to better stiffness and rigidity for the Spyder. Thanks to the update as the Panoz Esperante Spyder is certainly more aggressive-looking than before. Let’s take a look at some of its features

The Interior Design
The Spyder boasts an open-cockpit with a two-seat configuration. The car was designed such that the carbon fiber panel conceals the functional twin roll hoops, and a new, shorter windshield reinforced by tubular steel A-pillars with an all-new carbon fiber windshield frame.
The interior feels roomier than its previous generation and features Alcantara® accents on the seats, dash, door panels, center console, and as inserts on the Spyder’s carbon fiber Spyder shell. There is an array of options to help personalize your Eeperante Spyder to suit your desires and needs.
On the technology aspect of the car, you get a 10.6-inch ID4Motion digital instrument display positioned directly in front of the driver. It offers graphic representations of gauges to monitor the car’s vital systems such as speed, rpm, water temperature, oil pressure, charging, temperature, fuel level, and odometer. The display also has two “skins” allowing the driver to choose between traditional black background graphics or a light brushed aluminum/silver background
