Description

The Panoz LMP-1 Roadster-S was a sports prototype race car built by Reynard Motorsport for Panoz Auto Development for use in endurance racing championships. Designed by Andy Thorby, the LMP-1 Roadster-S acted as the replacement for the Panoz Esperante GTR-1 due to the abolishment of the GT1 class. Powered by a 6.0L Élan 6L8 V8 making 620 horsepower mated to a 6-speed Xtrac transmission, the LMP-1 Roadster-S competed mainly in the American Le Mans Series and raced occasionally at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The car's front-engined layout gave the car a unique shape compared to its contemporaries such as the Audi R8. In late 2000, Panoz introduced the LMP07, the intended successor to the LMP-1 Roadster-S; this was short-lived as the car proved uncompetitive and by mid-2001 Panoz reintroduced the LMP-1 Roadster-S in an upgraded format, known as the LMP-01 Evo. By the end of 2003, the LMP-1 Roadster-S and LMP-01 Evo were retired from competition; by that time, the car had eight wins and one constructors' championship. Eight chassis were built.
