Track Dominator - In the world of high-performance automobiles, there are few names that resonate with as much excitement and prestige as the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG). A relatively young company founded by James Glickenhaus, SCG has quickly made a name for itself by pushing the boundaries of automotive design and engineering. The SCG 003, one of their flagship supercars, has captured the attention of enthusiasts and car aficionados alike, thanks to its incredible performance and innovative design. Its debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show was nothing short of spectacular, as it introduced two versions that would leave a lasting mark on the industry—the SCG 003S and SCG 003C.

James Glickenhaus's vision for SCG was to create vehicles that not only provided an exhilarating driving experience but also reflected his deep passion for racing. With a background in both the film industry and car collecting, Glickenhaus used his resources and expertise to launch SCG, aiming to build cars that would rival the world's most prestigious automakers. The SCG 003 project, a true manifestation of his ambition, was born out of this vision. Drawing inspiration from Le Mans prototypes, the SCG 003 shares design elements and engineering features with the world-renowned LMP1 and LMP2 race cars. This connection to racing heritage is evident in the car's striking appearance and performance capabilities.

The design and engineering of the SCG 003 were executed in collaboration with some of the most talented professionals in the automotive world. Granstudio, a design studio based in Turin, Italy, took the lead in shaping the car’s aggressive yet aerodynamic form. Partnering with Podium Engineering, the team worked meticulously to ensure that every aspect of the vehicle was tailored for maximum performance. Paolo Catone, a former member of the Peugeot Team who had a hand in the development of the legendary Peugeot 905 and 908, played a pivotal role in ensuring that the SCG 003 could meet the demands of the most challenging racing environments. These collaborations helped give birth to a hypercar that was more than just a stunning piece of automotive engineering—it was a racing machine built to conquer the track.

The SCG 003 comes in two versions, each designed with a specific purpose in mind. The SCG 003S, or "Stradale," is the road-going version, built for those who desire both speed and elegance on the streets. With a lightweight carbon fiber chassis and a twin-turbo V6 engine, the 003S offers an exhilarating ride for those fortunate enough to experience it. Meanwhile, the SCG 003C, the "Competizione" version, is a true racing car. Equipped with a powerful 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine sourced from Honda, the Competizione version produces an impressive 530 horsepower, enabling it to achieve outstanding track performance. Coupled with a sequential transmission system, the Competizione version is designed to take on the world’s most demanding racing circuits.

The SCG 003’s performance is truly extraordinary, with the car achieving a record-breaking time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, one of the most famous and challenging race tracks in the world. The car completed the 12.9-mile course in a blistering 6 minutes and 43 seconds, outpacing the Porsche 918 and even beating the previous record held by the Pagani Zonda R. This incredible achievement further solidified the SCG 003’s status as one of the fastest and most capable vehicles ever built. Such accomplishments underscore the car's true racing pedigree and reinforce James Glickenhaus’s commitment to producing vehicles that blend cutting-edge technology with traditional motorsport excellence.
