Meet the new Boot", a new buggy from Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus. It"s a modern take on the 1967 Hurst Baja Boot that Steve McQueen once owned and raced in the legendary Baja 1000 and Mint 400. And to understand the new Boot, you must first understand this old one. Designed by the same man who penned cars for the moon, and funded by GM, it was an incredibly clever bit of kit back in 1967. Big wheels. Low centre of gravity. Engine forward of the rear axle, inboard gearbox. It was incredibly capable off-road. SCG boss Jim Glickenhaus bought this very car at auction way back in 2010. That"s right, Glickenhaus: famed for his N rburgring 24 hour efforts, the SCG003 Stradale" (a road legal hypercar), and carbon-chassis"d, carbon bodied mid-engined 300k supercar, the SCG004S.
