Feast your eyes on - potentially - the fastest ever road-legal production car to lap the N rburgring. Ladies and gentlemen, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has revealed that its upcoming SCG003S supercar is aiming for a - get this - 6m 30s lap time.Six minutes. Thirty seconds. To channel Keanu Reeves then, woah. The whole car will be revealed at next month"s Geneva Motor Show, and there"s a lot of car to understand, so here are some basics.It"s essentially a road-going version of the SCG racer that took class honours at the N rburgring 24hrs last year, and is therefore primed for an all-out assault on the Car Internet"s favourite playground.There"s a carbonfibre chassis packing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, producing a bit more than 750bhp. SCG reckon on a 0-62mph time of less than three seconds, and a top speed the scary side of 217mph. Oh, and cornering forces topping 2G. As Christian von Koenigsegg has repeatedly told us, the art of a tidy lap time is all in the cornering forces.Of course, it"s just a theory, with SCG yet to actually go and, y"know, perform the aforementioned lap time. But they"re confident. "It is expected to be the fastest ever road-legal car to lap the legendary N rburgring Nordschleife, with a lap time anticipated to be nearly half a minute faster than the current production car record," SCG say.
