From computer software boutiques to micro breweries, we see many of the most innovative products coming from the smallest companies. That's true of the car industry, as well. The result is a ride like no other. And one look at the Panoz AIV will tell you, this is a car that loves to be driven. This stubby, chunky, balloon-fendered roadster just cries out for a winding road. You can almost see the dappled sunlight floating across every curve and glinting off the chrome accents. There's hardly a straight line to be seen from its wide wedged front, past the short midsection with its half doors, to the classic cobra-esque rounded rump. The 2017 headlights with angel lights and signal upgrades , nerf bumper, and exposed front suspension are a throwback to an earlier motoring era, when pure sportscars and street rods ruled the backroads of America. The only disruption in the smooth lines is the oversized air scoop grafted to the hood, an evil made necessary by the hungry V-8 lurking within. The powerplant is another Cobra link, in this case the 4.6 liter quad cam V-8 from Ford's latest Cobra. Its 310 horsepower and 310 pound feet of torque makes the hood blister a trade-off we can live with. Like their previous efforts, Panoz makes extensive use of Ford matched components in the AIV Roadster, from steering, brakes, and fuel systems, to gauges and wiring harnesses. This makes it easier simpler to service as well at any local Ford dealer. But the Panoz aluminum box frame is Panoz' own design, and a sturdier unit we've not seen. Body panels are also aluminum, molded via superplastic forming by Superform USA in California. The result is a car that's 70% aluminum with a curb weight of just 2,600 pounds. Hence the name; AIV stands for Aluminum Intensive Vehicle. The cockpit is rather tight, so it's best to limit passengers to close friends only. The interior is dominated by the large transmission tunnel, slightly compromising hip, elbow, and foot room. the occupants are ensconced in a surprisingly luxurious manner. Leather surfaces are set off with tasteful amounts of wood or carbon-fiber trim. The Mustang gauges and controls look right at home here, too. A tilt wheel and 180 watt CD stereo completes the package. Luggage space is generous for weekend outings, and a toolbox built into the trunklid takes the worry out of that extended Sunday ride. The supple suspension soaked up the bumps and allowed little body roll.
