The SCG003 is Jim Glickenhaus' idea of the perfect dual-purpose GT. Inspired by LMP1/LMP2 prototypes, it was designed by a team from Granstudio in Turin led by Lowie Vermeersch and Goran Popovic, and engineered by Podium Engineering and Paolo Catone, father of Peugeot's 908 endurance prototype that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2009.

It uses a highly advanced modular construction based on a brand new carbon fiber chassis with the rear frame holding the suspension pick-up points to make engine swaps as easy as possible. Front and rear push-rods, Bosch Motorsport electronics, Dunlop tires, and loads of downforce will keep it stuck to the ground.

n racing form, the SCG003 is powered by a 3.5 twin-turbo V6 based on Honda's HPD engine, but further developed by Autotecnica Motori and badged as an SCG. It also sounds positively fantastic. That's linked to a Hewland paddle shift gearbox sending power to the rear wheels, of course.

While the SCG003C will be easy to convert into a road car, the road-going SCG003 Stradale will also be ready for deliveries by the end of the year and powered by another TTV6 that's currently in development.

After Geneva, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus is headed to the Nürburgring 24 Hours with the SCG003C. If anyone can pull it off, it's Jim Glickenhaus, and there's a good chance of us being on the ground for its maiden race.

He is now going one step further by producing his own machine from the ground-up under the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) banner. The 1960s spirit is retained as the car is designed to be driven to the race track, where it can be modified relatively quickly and then compete before being driven home again at the end of the day.

Dubbed the SCG 003, as it is Glickenhaus' third design, the new road legal racer is built around a full length carbon-fibre monocoque. Whereas the current design trend for sports cars is to add more horsepower in order to gain performance, the design brief for the SCG 003 was to keep the car as small and light as possible. This was achieved by using in-board suspension on all four corners and did not come at the expense of the occupants of the cockpit, who should be able to use the car on the road with a certain level of comfort.

A key element in the transformation from road to racing car is a complete drivetrain swap thanks to a smart modular design of all the major components. In road trim the SCG 003 will use a purpose-build twin-turbo V6. Once at the track, this engine can be replaced quickly and with relative ease by a race-ready twin-turbo V6. This is based on the production-derived HPD HR35TT developed for endurance sports car racing. It is further modified to suit SCG's particular needs by Bosch and Autotechnica. The competition engine should be good for around 500 bhp, which brings it in line with the other engines in the GT class.

Ahead of the official launch at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the very first SCG 003 was rolled out for testing at Vairano in December of 2014. In camouflage livery, it was shaken down by Nicola Larini. This car will be readied for the 2015 Nürburgring 24 Hours, while a second example, for SCG's first customer, is already under construction. According to Glickenhaus, the ultimate goal is to drive the car to Le Mans in 2016, race it and then drive it back to Paris in time for dinner on Sunday evening.

I think it's nicer than the LaFerrari but it's got nothing on the P4/5. I really want to see the interior of the road car. :mrgreen:

Koenigsegg raped an Enzo in a Croatian Prison and this was their ugly offspring. :lol:

More like a GT-R with an Enzo. It also has a Bugatti grille on its rear.

I still like the car though, more supercars are never a bad thing in my opinion.
RUF is better than Porsche!

The roof, windshield, and side windows look very similar to those of a Koenigsegg. The nose is highly reminiscent of the Enzo.

It's kind of an obvious mash-up of existing designs, but it's well-executed, unlike, say, the Predator Xtreme. :lol:

I like the car. :rightthumbup:

This car apparently broke the Nürburgring Nordschleife road-legal vehicle record with a time of 6:42. :o

After a pretty hefty teasing campaign, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) is finally letting loose its first production supercar. The SCG003S will make its world debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. With it will come a slightly updated design from the prototype we saw previous, and some jaw-dropping performance figures.

Borrowing cues from its track-prepped sibling, the SCG003S will utilize many of the same design and performance traits found on the track-going car. Of course, all of those traits will be toned down (slightly) for road use; the ’S’ standing for ‘Stradale’ in the road-going version, unlike the ‘C’ for ‘Competizione’ in track spec.

A 4.4-liter V8 will sit under the hood, good for 750 horsepower (559 kilowatts) and an estimated top speed of 217 mph (350 kmh). SCG promises that its 003S will be “the fastest cornering car on sale,” generating more than 2Gs through corners, similar to what you might find in a prototype race car. From a standstill, it will hit 62 mph (100 kmh) in less than three seconds.

The car will be hand built in Italy by Manifattura Automobili Torino, and will be sculpted entirely out of carbon fiber… as any good supercar should be. Along with the powerful engine, the aerodynamic design will provide optimum performance both on the road, and on the track.

“It’s a culmination of a long-held dream to finally see our amazing race car born again as a road car,” said found James Glickenhaus. “Using all the know-how we have taken form competing in international racing and putting it onto the road… capturing the spirit of the road racers that have defined the automotive history during the heyday of grand touring.”

Production will begin in limited numbers summer of next year, with a wide range of personalization options available to buyers, both on the exterior and in the engine bay. No word on pricing just yet.
