The recurring rumor is now put to rest.
Don Panoz, the founder of Panoz Auto Development and the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron, made it official with the announcement of an exciting new and exclusive Panoz super sports car - the Abruzzi "Spirit of Le Mans."
The formal unveiling will take place next month in France at the world famous 24 Hours of Le Mans auto race, an event the Panoz brand won in the GT2 class during 2006.

Panoz, who with his Panoz Motor Sports Group owns one of the most diversified motorsports companies in the world, also controls one of the few remaining small-volume sports car manufacturing companies - Panoz Auto Development. "
In making this announcement, Panoz referred to several groundbreaking technologies employed in the design and construction of the new vehicle. The unique body is constructed using "REAMS" material technology. "REAMS" stands for Recyclable Energy Absorbing Matrix System.
This advanced body construction material and process has never before been utilized in a road car and offers unprecedented environmental, performance and structural advantages.
The Abruzzi "Spirit of Le Mans" is currently undergoing early homologation and production testing, and the car will be unveiled at its "spiritual" home at the historic Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France during race week in June.
By special arrangement with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the car will occupy center stage in the "village" at the track from June 7-13.
Prior to the public unveiling, international media representatives will be invited to a preview approximately two days in advance of its introduction.
