ZooRacing Panterra Touring Car Body - 0.7mm REGULAR

ZooRacing product description

The Panterra is ZooRacing's latest high performance body designed specifically for Modified Racing where precision, speed and handling are paramount. Designed specifically for the rigors of Modified Racing competition, the Panterra combines cutting-edge aerodynamics with advanced material technology that enhances on-track performance like never before. Thanks to our latest findings, the Panterra offers significant improvements in speed, stability and handling, setting new standards in the industry. Increased downforce for improved cornering stability and superior rotation provides a dynamic driving experience, especially in Modified Racing where every millisecond counts.

To ensure its outstanding performance in modified racing applications, several design innovations have been incorporated into the Panterra. The overall length has been reduced to minimize inertia and improve rotation around the vertical axis for faster response. To improve steering precision at high speeds, the front and hood have been redesigned with flatter angles. The side contours have been strategically shaped to direct the airflow over the rear wheel arches, optimizing the aerodynamic pressure difference and increasing downforce. The rear is designed for a low center of gravity, which ensures stable handling at high speeds. The newly shaped rear fenders minimize turbulence and promote a smooth airflow to the rear wing.

A key feature of the Panterra body is the narrow waistline. This distinctive shape reduces the frontal area, enabling faster acceleration and better agility in tight corners. By narrowing the waistline, we achieve more efficient airflow dynamics and lower drag, resulting in improved overall aerodynamic efficiency. This design not only improves handling, but also provides a more responsive and agile racing experience - ideal for the high speeds and tight cornering conditions of modified race tracks.

The Panterra has also been carefully optimized for high driving stability. The reduced frontal area and optimized aerodynamics ensure that the body retains a stable, safe driving feel even at top speeds. This means that the vehicle remains predictable and responsive even under heavy acceleration and in fast bends. This stability is crucial for modified racing use, where handling at high speeds is critical to mastering fast straights and tight corners with precision. The aerodynamic improvements, including the optimized rear wing and increased downforce, provide balanced handling at high speeds and give the driver more control, especially in critical racing situations.

The extended roofline maximizes aerodynamic efficiency, reduces drag and improves stability at high speeds. The side windows feature a new, integrated arch design that balances the air pressure ratio across the bodywork. The new rear wing, designed for high efficiency and further optimized, perfectly complements the rear of the body, improving downforce and stability during high-speed maneuvers. An integrated reinforcement rib strengthens the wing, providing additional structural rigidity and ensuring consistent performance on the fast tracks typical of modified racing.

The ZOOlite molding process used on the Panterra reduces the weight of the standard 0.7mm body by approximately 10g. This weight reduction helps to meet the minimum weight requirements for modified racing use, such as the ETS, while lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. For those looking for maximum performance, the Panterra is also available in the lightweight ULTRALIGHT version (0.5 mm). This improves agility and acceleration on the racetrack without sacrificing stability. For tracks with extremely high grip and demanding tuning races, we also offer this body as a 0.4 mm AIRLITE version.

Each Panterra body package includes high-quality rear wing mounting material and a detailed decal sheet with grille, headlight and taillight designs. This makes the vehicle both performance-oriented and a visual eye-catcher on the racetrack.

The technical data:
Scale: 1:10 touring car
Wheelbase: approx. 257mm
Width: approx. 190mm 

The body is supplied unpainted and not cut out.
Rear wing, a small decal sheet and window stickers are included.
Not a complete car, no wheels - these only serve to better represent the intended use.

Important note:
The thinner the bodywork, the more sensitive it is. This applies to production, storage, transport and ultimately, of course, use.
The bodies may have small creases (especially at the rear).
Unfortunately, small creases and folds cannot always be prevented and are not really visible to us through the bag.
At this point: form follows function - you won't win any beauty prizes with super-thin bodies. But you are fast :-)

This applies in particular to the AIRLITE version, which is only 0.4 mm thick. Here, kinks occur again and again due to the sensitive material. The use of 0.4mm bodies is therefore only an option for riders who can live with these characteristics, for whom low durability is not a problem and who want to achieve maximum performance.
