The pictures are clearly from a mock-up.

I suspect the car will look spectacular in the flesh, and it already improves with better pictures.

Only one new hyper/supercar launched this week so far. I suppose it is only Monday.

The pictures are all CAD renderings. The cheapest part of the development process...

Perfect ingredients for an Incredible car, like a modern day Mclaren F1.

Drop the price to £150k - £250k to compete with the regular supercars on the market and it might work.

I think Noble m600 has shown that there is a Limited market for supercars without brand Heritage going in the £250k - £350k, regardless of how good they drive or how fast they are.

Looks a bit 90's kit car special...

I think you lot are somewhat missing the point.

This bloke has lots of money, and a dream. That dream is to win me mans in his own car. He can't do prototypes, because he'd be up against 200-400 million a year budgets from the factories, so that means GTE pro.

The rules say that to enter a GTE, you have to make x of them. The rules apply to everyone other than Ford.

Cameron Glickenhaus is doing the truly awesome thing of making his own homologation special. I doubt he overly minds if it's popular or even sells a lot. In all interviews, he comes across as passionate and entertaining. He's clearly doing it out of love for the sport, not bling or prestige. Hats off to him I say, he's living the dream we all say we'd do, despite that if any of us had squillions we probably wouldn't have the balls to spunk it up the wall in persuit of some racing silverware.

I think it looks great.

Especially when you look at the quite generic super car designs we have now days.

I think it looks fantastic, retro is cool and love the center seat.
dynamically it won't disappoint either, his racing cars have been fairing well against the big boys on the track.
also if I was Jim I'd be looking to get one built asap then set an eye catching ring time to help sales

Centre seat? Gated manual gearbox? Big V8?

What is everyone's problem with it? Sounds awesome to me.

Certainly a million times more interesting than that anodyne appliance from Tesla that everyone's frothing about.

The rear looks like military hardware: all purpose and lethal intent.

In particular the top-exit exhausts are simply fabulous. The way that they're flush-mounted recalls the aesthetics of a fighter jet or submarine.

Exactly. People fussed about the looks are missing the point - it wasn't styled, it was engineered. Much like the new Ford GT, although with even fewer concessions to market desireability. The central driving position is the icing on the cake.

I'd absolutely love one. He's always seemed a thoroughly decent chap on interviews and forums (including this one).

agreed, I think they'll sell pretty well after they have a functioning first car built for people to see

The photos at the top of the article do make the car look a bit mickey mouse. But it looks quite nice in 6PI's photos.
Purpose built machine intended to win races. Count me a fan.

Proportions look awful from most angles.

Classic Ferrari model reshaped to be modernized then morphed with new ford GT.

Hi
We’re really happy with the reaction from buyers and our 25 Founder Editions for 2019-2019 will be sold out Very soon.
It looks like we’ll be back at The N24 in 2018 with two SCG003C’s and hope to have SCG 004 GT3’s Racing in 2019. Our goal still remains GTE for 2020. Based on interest we think 250 004S’s for 2019-2020 remains possible. We also have orders for several 003S’s. We’re moving all our operations to the US so it’s a busy time for us. Best Holiday Wishes.
Jim
