Vehicle Overview

The Glickenhaus SCG 003 was launched in 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show. Former Pininfarina engineer Paolo Garella of Manifattura Automobili Torino. was commissioned to design the car. On July 18, 2017 Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus LLC’s application to NHTSA to be a Low Volume Manufacturer was “deemed approved” enabling it to manufacture up to 325 turn key cars per year that do not need to adhere to Federal crash test and airbag standards but still needed to comply with emissions and safety standards in the state that they are registered in. The racing version called the SCG003C wherein the C denotes “Competizione” (Competition) is powered by a twin turbocharged V6 engine taken from the Honda Daytona prototype and tuned to deliver a maximum power output of 500 hp (373 kW) restricted under FIA regulations. The engine was tuned by Autotechnica Motori of Italy. The Glickenhaus SCG 003 also has an increased weight of 1,350 kg (2,976 lb) also required by FIA regulations. The road going model called the SCG003S, wherein the S denotes “Stradale” (Street), will be powered by a 4.4 L (268.5 cu in) BMW twin-turbocharged V8 engine tuned to generate a maximum power output of 750 hp (559 kW) and 800 N⋅m (590 lb⋅ft) of torque enabling the 2,866 lb (1,300 kg) car to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 3 seconds. Due to its aerodynamic features, the car achieves a downforce of 1,543 lb (700 kg) at a speed of 155 mph (249 km/h). The 003S is able to achieve lateral acceleration of 2.0 G. The chassis is made from carbon fiber and uses a 7-speed electro-hydraulic sequential dual disc clutch transmission. The 003CS, a model in between the 003C and 003S where the CS denotes “Competizione Stradale” (Competition Street) has the same poweroutput as the 003S and uses the same engine but has a new carbon fiber rear wing and aerodynamic bits and weighs 1,179 kg (2,600 lb).
