Jim Glickenhaus" newest supercar project is getting underway. And rather than rebodying a modern supercar in retro-classic clothes (like the stunning P4/5 Pininfarina) or building an all-out road-going racecar like the SCG 003, the newcomer is a thoroughly modern supercar wearing the curvaceous attire of a 1960s-style classic. This is the SCG 006. Looks-wise, it"s inspired by the likes of the Ferrari 275 GTB, 250 California and perhaps a hint of AC Cobra. But rather than being made from hand-rolled aluminium, the 006 will be clothed in all carbonfibre panels. Pushing along what we presume will be Not Much Weight is a 650bhp supercharged V8 engine. And this is where the bespoke choices come in. Because, you can choose if you"d like that 650bhp to end up at a manual rear-mounted gearbox, or a paddleshifter. Want the wind in your hair? Spec a spider, as seen here, or if you"re folically challenged, go for a hard-top.
