The Panoz Abruzzi is a grand tourer manufactured by Panoz Auto Development, currently under development for the European market.[1] Production is to be limited to 81 units[2] and it is expected to be delivered from between 2011 and 2013, with a retail price of around £330,000. Much of the car is made of a multilayer composite known as REAMS (Recyclable Energy Absorbing Matrix System).[3]

The Abruzzi made its sports car racing debut at the 2011 12 Hours of Sebring.[4]

As of July 2014 production of the Abruzzi was not confirmed, and is no longer featured on the company's website.
