On sale, Panoz DP 01 Champ Car.

The Panoz DP01 is an open-wheel car that was produced by Élan Motorsport Technologies at Braselton, Georgia, United States. It was developed for use in the 2007 Champ Car World Series season, replacing the aging de facto-spec Lola chassis. The DP01 was introduced to the world at the 2006 Grand Prix of San Jose on July 28, 2006. Due to the February 2008 sale of Champ Car to the Indy Racing League, which uses its own spec equipment, the car is not currently used in a professional racing series in the United States. The final race for the car was the 2008 Grand Prix of Long Beach.

The Panoz DP01 was developed to be safer, and less aero-dependent while racing closely with other cars than previously existing Champ Cars. The Panoz had numerous changes from the previous Lola car, including more downforce from the underbody. Approximately 60% of the car’s 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) of downforce at 200 mph (320 km/h) came from the bottom of the car. This was done by directing the air in a way so as to create additional downforce on the car, thereby effectively sucking it to the racetrack. This put less dependency on the front and rear wings in the event of a failure at high speed.

Another major change from the previous car was the raised nose, which was moved farther above the front wing and directing more air to the underbody aerodynamics. The raised nose also created a safer environment for the driver in the event of a head-on collision with a wall or another car. The driver sat more upright than in the Lola chassis, to reduce the chances of back injuries, and to better accommodate the use of the HANS device.

Champ Car used the 2.65L 90° 8-cylinder turbocharged Cosworth XFE as the exclusive engine during the 2007 season.

This is Panoz DP01-010. It was originally delivered to and raced by Pacific Coast Motorsports and driven by Alex Figge in 13 of 14 CART races in 2007, with his best finish being 8th in the season opening race at Long Beach. The Houston race saw a guest appearance by Roberto Moreno, in which he finished 12th.

This car used the Cosworth Ford XFE engine and a Hewland 7 speed sequential gearbox. This is currently a rolling chassis in excellent condition. It does not come with any spare parts. It can made operational again, most of it is there. Besides the Cosworth engine which we can supply, it will also need the following items, ECU, data logger, steering wheel display, dampers, exhaust headers (primary pipes only), engine cover.
