SCG 003
The Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003 is a hyper-engineered blend of racing DNA and road‑legal usability, born from the vision of avid collector and filmmaker‑financier Jim Glickenhaus. Revealed at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show under its codename “P33,” the SCG 003 was designed in collaboration with Granstudio in Turin and engineered by Manifattura Automobili Torino using insights from prototype racing programs like LMP1 and LMP2
Its carbon‑fiber chassis features a modular rear subframe, enabling owners to swap engine, gearbox and suspension assemblies with minimal effort—literally undo six bolts to convert between race and road form
The SCG 003 comes in three variants: the track‑focused 003C “Competizione,” the hybrid road‑track 003CS “Competizione Stradale,” and the most road‑oriented 003S “Stradale.” The Competizione version houses a 3.5‑liter twin‑turbocharged Honda‑derived V6 delivering around 490 hp in FIA‑restricted form, paired with a sequential Hewland gearbox for intense endurance racing campaigns, including the Nürburgring 24 Hours
The Stradale model swaps in a 4.4‑liter BMW twin‑turbo V8, engineered to produce over 750 hp and 590 lb‑ft of torque. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds and topping out near 217 mph, it also achieves massive aerodynamic grip—generating over 1,500 to 2,200 lb of downforce at 155 mph, enabling lateral forces reaching 2g in corners
What truly sets the SCG 003 apart isn’t just power but the visceral driving philosophy behind it: a street-legal car with racing underpinnings, built by a boutique team with hypercar aspirations. The design ethos channels Le Mans prototypes, offering brutal aerodynamic surfaces and uncompromising function-over-form styling, yet retaining enough livability for street use—adjustable suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, real telemetry, minimal creature comforts, and driver-focused ergonomics
With price tags in the multi‑millions and production limited to low volumes under NHTSA low‑volume manufacturer approval, the SCG 003 remains an exclusive, high‑emotion driving machine intended for collectors who crave raw performance on both track and road
