The Panther Solo sportscar due to be launched in 1989, has a primary structure comprised of 3 major components: A steel underbody, a one-piece composite centre section and a one-piece composite roof inner moulding. These three components are adhesively bonded and riveted together. The resulting structure complies with all Federal and European structural requirements as well as fulfilling all normal demands of a modern production vehicle body.
