History

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, was founded in 2004 in New York City by film producer and entrepreneur James Glickenhaus. The goal was to develop limited, low-volume, high-performance racing cars for the Nürburgring 24 Hours races. [4] In the first years, a professional team [5] took part in competitions using modified Ferrari constructions.

In 2010, the Ferrari P4/5, built in one piece on a special order, served as a reference point for the work on the first proprietary SCG construction, [6] the initial specification and concept of which was presented in September 2012. [7] Pre-production prototypes entered their final testing phase in December 2014, [8] and finally made their debut in February 2015 as the SCG 003 racing vehicle and the SCG 003S road hypercar. [9]

For the production of both vehicles, cooperation was established with the Italian design studio and sports car manufacturer MAT, which lent its production lines in Turin. [10] In 2017, a plan to launch the production of another civilian car called 004S, [11] was presented, which finally went into production in 2020. In the same year, a racing variant, SCG 004C was produced for competition. [12]

At the end of 2020, SCG presented its first car with a completely different concept in the form of the massive, road-performance off-road vehicle SCG Boot. [13] In 2021, another race car called the SCG 007 was presented in the Le Mans Hypercar racing category, during the premiere of which it was announced that a series variant called SCG 007S would also be built. [14]

Vehicles

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus currently offers five types of cars, [15] the SCG 003, SCG 004, SCG Boot, SCG 007, and the SCG 008 kit car. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] The SCG 006 model is no longer listed on the company's website. [22]
