Glickenhaus SCG003 revealed

Just in case Geneva was short of supercars!

Here it is! It was 2006 when the Glickenhaus P4/5 was shown to the world and 2013 when a successor was confirmed. Last year we saw a carbon chassis and were given a name. Now the Glickenhaus SCG 003 is a reality in both road (Stradale) and race (Competizione) forms.

This at the Nurburgring? Oh yes!

Even amongst the incredible array of supercars at Geneva this year, you suspect the SCG 003 will be swamped with showgoers. It's perhaps not conventionally beautiful but there's no doubting the presence. The motorsport influence is clear too, with spoilers, intakes and slats covering every surface. The wraparound screen for the driver could have come straight from an LMP1 car.

At present only the racing SCG 003 has tech details. It will be powered by a heavily revised version of Honda's 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 with 530hp and 516lb ft. The road car will also use a twin-turbo V6 of some description. Perhaps the Ecoboost V6 used in the Ford GT?

Glickenhaus says the racer weighs 1,350kg with mass distributed 49:51 front:rear. The road car was always intended to be Dino sized so it will be interesting to see how the SCG 003 compares once on the stand; the press pics make it look more of a conventional supercar size.

Previous Glickenhaus cars have always been unique but that situation appears to have changed with both road and race versions confirmed. More to follow from Switzerland!
