Going back to the earlier posting, isn't it Don Panzo the wine maker, not Dan Panoz?

The Esperante GTR(Which is the car that you referred to as the GT1) is the homologation car for Panoz to be able to race in the FIA back in 1997. Only 2 were ever built, one crash tested, and one to homologate the race cars. You'll likely never see the GTR and it will likely never be sold.
Also, it is Don Panoz, and yes he is the car maker and the wine maker. He also owns Elan Motorsports Technology, the Elan Chateau resort, and several pharmacutical companies. Racing is only his latesty endeavor. He owns Road Atlanta, Sebring, and Mosport Race tracks as well.
