The Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003 (formerly known as P 33) is a limited edition sports car manufactured by American boutique car maker Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus LLC.^[3] It is the third car commissioned by James Glickenhaus, with Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina and P 4/5 Competizione being the first two. Ing. Paolo Garella was project head on all three cars. First announced as P 33 in 2013, SCG 003 was launched in 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show.^[4][5]

On July 18, 2017 Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus LLC's application to NHTSA to be a Low Volume Manufacturer was "deemed approved" enabling it to manufacture up to 325 turn key cars per year that do not need to adhere Federal crash test and airbag standards but do still need to comply with emissions and safety standards in the state that they are registered in.^[6][7]

Variants

SCG plans to produce three variants of SCG 003 covering competition racing, track days and road driving, all with the same modular chassis to allow interchangeable parts.

The variant which SCG competes with in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring is called the 003C, "Competizione" spec. It comes ready-to-race with a series-approved engine, a Hewland racing gearbox and race aero. At the other end of the spectrum will be the 003S, "Stradale", with more luxurious, "liveable" interior and street-friendly aerodynamic features. In-between will sit a trim called 003CS, "Competizione Stradale", a Competizione with only a minimum number of allowances made in order to make it road-legal. Stradale and Competizione would come standard with street tyres and a 4.4 L twin-turbo V8 to meet emissions regulations, for competition racing however non-street-legal items from the Competizione trim could be swapped in thanks to the modular nature of the car.^[7][8][9]

Technical Specifications

The road going model SCG003S, wherein the S denotes "Stradale" (Street), will be powered by a bespoke 268.5 cubic inch (4.4-liter) twin-turbo V8 with an output of 750 hp and 590 lb.-ft. (800 Nm) of torque enabling the 2866 lbs. (1300 kg) vehicle to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds. Due to its aerodynamics the car achieves a downforce of 1543 lbs. (700 kg) at a speed of 155 mph. The vehicle is able to achieve lateral acceleration of 2.0 G. The chassis is made from carbon fiber and uses a 7-speed electro-hydraulic sequential dual disc clutch transmission.^[10][11]
