The Panterra is ZooRacing's latest high-performance body, specifically engineered for Modified Racing, where precision, speed, and handling are paramount. Designed specifically for the demanding requirements of Modified Racing competition, the Panterra combines cutting-edge aerodynamics with advanced material technology to enhance on-track performance like never before. Thanks to our latest research, 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 delivers a dynamic driving experience, especially in Modified Racing, where every millisecond counts.
To ensure its outstanding performance in modified racing, several design innovations were incorporated into the Panterra. The overall length was reduced to minimize inertia and improve rotation around the vertical axis for faster response. To improve steering precision at high speeds, the front end and hood were redesigned with slacker angles. The side contours were strategically shaped to direct airflow over the rear wheel arches, optimizing the aerodynamic pressure differential and increasing downforce. The rear end is designed for a low center of gravity, ensuring stable handling at high speeds. The reshaped rear fenders minimize turbulence and promote smooth airflow to the rear wing.
A key feature of the Panterra body is its narrow waistline. This distinctive shape reduces frontal area, enabling faster acceleration and better agility through tight corners. By narrowing the waistline, we achieve more efficient flow 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 racetracks.
The Panterra has also been carefully optimized for high driving stability. The reduced frontal area and optimized aerodynamics ensure that the body maintains a stable, secure feel even at top speeds. This keeps the car predictable and responsive even under hard acceleration and in fast corners. This stability is crucial for modified racing, where high-speed handling is crucial for precisely negotiating fast straights and tight corners. The aerodynamic improvements, including the optimized rear wing and increased downforce, ensure balanced handling at high speeds and offer the driver greater control, especially in critical racing situations.
The extended roofline maximizes aerodynamic efficiency, reducing drag and improving high-speed stability. The side windows feature a new, integrated arch design that balances the air pressure ratio across the body. The new, highly efficient and further optimized rear wing perfectly complements the rear of the body, improving downforce and stability during high-speed maneuvers. An integrated reinforcement rib reinforces 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 0.7 mm body by approximately 10 g. This weight reduction helps meet minimum weight regulations for modified racing, such as those stipulated by the ETS, while also lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. For those seeking 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 extremely high-grip tracks and demanding tuning races, we also offer this body in a 0.4 mm AIRLITE version.
Each Panterra body kit includes high-quality rear wing mounting hardware and a detailed decal sheet featuring grille, headlight, and taillight designs. This makes the car 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 delivered unpainted and not cut out.
Rear wing, a small decal sheet and window stickers are included.
Not a complete car, no wheels - these are just to better illustrate the intended use.
Important NOTE:
The thinner the car bodies become, the more fragile they become. This applies to manufacturing, storage, transport, and ultimately, of course, use.
The bodies may have minor kinks (especially in the rear area).
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 – super-thin bodies won't win you any beauty prizes. But they're fast :-)
This is especially true for the 0.4mm thick AIRLITE version. This is prone to kinks due to the delicate material. Therefore, the use of 0.4mm bodies is only suitable for drivers who can live with these characteristics, for whom low durability is not an issue and who want to achieve maximum performance.
