Panoz Esperante GTLM

The Panoz Esperante GTLM reaches 60 mph in 3.81 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.38 s, tripping the lights at 114.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s and the eighth mile in 7.99 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.70 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Esperante GTLM

The 2006 Panoz Esperante GTLM is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,432 kg with 414 bhp, which works out at 289 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 289 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.92 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 689th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the quickest of the 3 Panozs here. Its 114.4 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 5 published acceleration figures for this car.

12.38 s at 114.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s.
How much power does the Panoz Esperante GTLM have?
414 bhp and 1,432 kg, which is 289 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 290 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Panoz Esperante GTLM?
Closest here on pace: Lotus Evora 400 (3.96 s), Vector M12 (3.95 s), Alpine A110 S Mk II 300 PS (3.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Panoz Esperante GTLM in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Panoz Esperante GTLM is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 5 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
