New ZooRacing Panterra 190mm Touring Car Body

Press Release From ZooRacing:

Panterra is ZooRacing’s latest high-performance body, engineered specifically for modified racing, where precision, speed, and handling are paramount. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of competitive modified racing, the Panterra body offers a combination of cutting-edge aerodynamics and advanced material technology that enhances track performance like never before. Utilizing our latest insights, the Panterra delivers significant improvements in speed, stability, and overall handling, setting a new benchmark in the industry. With increased contact pressure for enhanced cornering stability and superior rotation, it provides a dynamic driving experience, especially in modified racing, where every millisecond counts.

Several design innovations have been incorporated into the Panterra to ensure it excels in modified racing environments. The overall length has been reduced to minimize inertia, improving rotation around the vertical axis for faster response. To enhance high-speed steering precision, both the front and hood have been redesigned with less steeper angles. The side contours have been strategically shaped to direct airflow over the rear wheel arches, optimizing the aerodynamic pressure differential and increasing downforce. The rear end is designed with an emphasis on a low center of gravity, ensuring stable handling at high speeds, while the reshaped rear fenders minimize turbulence and promote consistent airflow to the rear wing.

A key feature of the Panterra body is its narrow-shaped waist design. This distinctive shape reduces the frontal surface area, allowing for faster acceleration and better agility in tight corners. By narrowing the waist, we’ve achieved more efficient airflow dynamics and reduced drag, resulting in improved overall aerodynamic efficiency. This design not only enhances handling but also provides a more responsive and agile racing experience, ideal for the high-speed, tight-turning nature of modified racing circuits.

The Panterra has also been meticulously optimized for high-speed handling stability. The reduced frontal area and optimized aerodynamics help the body maintain a stable, planted feel even at top speeds, ensuring the car remains predictable and responsive under heavy acceleration and in high-speed cornering. This stability is critical for modified racing, where high-speed handling is essential for navigating fast straights and tight corners with precision. The aerodynamic improvements, including the optimized rear wing and enhanced downforce, work together to maintain balance at high speeds, providing the driver with greater control, especially in critical race situations.

Aerodynamic efficiency is maximized through an elongated roofline that reduces drag and improves stability at high speeds. The side windows feature a new integrated arch design, balancing the airflow pressure ratio across the body. The new wing is designed for high efficiency and further refined to perfectly complement the body’s rear, enhancing downforce and stability during high-speed maneuvers. An integrated reinforcement rib strengthens the wing, providing additional structural rigidity and ensuring consistent performance on fast tracks typical in modified racing.

The ZOOlite molding process used in the Panterra reduces the weight of the standard 0.7mm body shell by approximately 10g. This reduction in weight helps the body meet minimum weight regulations for modified racing, such as those in the ETS, while simultaneously lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity. For those seeking maximum performance, the Panterra is also available in the lightweight ULTRALIGHT 0.5mm version, further enhancing agility and acceleration on the track without sacrificing strength. For super high grip tracks and hardcore mofified racing, we also offer this body as 0.4mm AIRLITE version.

Each Panterra body package includes high-quality wing mounting hardware and a detailed sticker sheet with grille, headlight, and taillight designs, ensuring your vehicle is both performance-oriented and visually striking on the track.
