RE: Glickenhaus SCG003 revealed

[Frimley111R]

Looks cool! (Wheels a bit 'GTR'?).

[caraddict]

It doesn't use the Ford EcoBoost V6 from the new Ford GT, it uses a tuned Honda engine.

[soad]

Bears some resemblance to the Caparo T1, was my first thought.

Hi

We are offering both road and race cars for sale as well as conversion kits road to race which is easily done.

We can make road version totally bespoke including a 12 should you wish.

We will have a two car team at the N24.

Hope to see some of you at Geneva or at The Ring.

Best!

A nice machine, i just wonder why? Is there an area it excels?

My undersatanding is that he has to build it for the road in order to compete in it.

This bloke is like the ultimate PHer - IMO sort of akin to Enzo himself, except that the funding is different. He wants to race his own car, and he has the funds to make it happen. Fair play to the bloke. I think it's class to see someone really wealthy use the money to do something cool, rather than just using it to pose in some posh yacht that they don't even sail in.

Hi Jim,

Put me down for the fastest, rudest version you can create, assuming I scoop the Euromillions this evening.

All the best.

Hats off to you yet again Jim. Not just living the dream but creating it!

I must be getting old, all I can think is how the hell do you get in and out of it

[Macboy]

I am getting old. This and the other track biased and hyper cars don't make me want them in any way. They all look designed by committee or machine or a combination of the two. Where is the cohesive design that supercars enjoyed before. True this is designed as a track/racing car with a road-going derivative but after his last effort its just so poorly resolved in my opinion.

Looks absolutely mental. 560hp doesn't sound like a lot these days though, I presume the road one might be furnished with a touch more poke?

Batman dreams he's Glickenhaus.

Looks fabulous. Wouldn't want to get hit by one though as it would be like going through a wood-chipper with all those sharp surfaces. I'm amazed it's got through US type approval.

PH in 2015 everyone... What sort of petrolhead's first thought is 'I wouldn't want to get hit by one??'

I wonder if this may end up with a version of the turbo V6 found in the back of the NSX given the race car is Honda powered?

[thespannerman]

That. Looks. Stunning!

Honda's HPD twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6, is good for an easy 600bhp.

The road-ready model, on the other hand will have a range of engines that is capped off by a twin-turbo V-12 monster. Look for the latter to close in on the 800-horsepower mark.

Sources close to the SCG 003 say to look for the model to hover close to the Koenigsegg One:1’s insane weight ratio.

[Burwood]

way to go JG, fantastic achievement. Living the dream. Enjoy in good health

Not dissimilar to Nissan's GTR concept, especially the rear spine section;
