Meanwhile, the Panoz AIV Roadster is an extremely rare offer. One of only 10 AIV Roadsters were ever produced as it was made as part of the 10th Anniversary Edition. And only three of the AIV cars had a Kenny Bell supercharged version of the 4.6-liter V8 from the Mustang SVT Cobra straight from the factory.
