You"re looking at the entry-level" road car from Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus. It"s a carbon-chassis"d, carbon bodied mid-engined supercar with a 641bhp bi-turbo V8, a tri-seat, McLaren F1-style cabin layout with a manual gearshift, and a base price of $400,000, or just over 300,000. Some base modelA sizeable chunk of cash for a new supercar upstart, too. But consider this. The Ford GT cost more, is sold out, and that"s just about the only car we can think of that offers crazier road-going aero than this. Check out those flying buttresses. That whale-shark mouth. So perhaps the SCG004S is a bargainWhat"s more, Glickenhaus and co have proper, race-proven pedigree. You may remember James Glickenhaus was the man behind the Pininfarina P4/5, the stunning one-off homage to the P3 racer of the 1960s that stunned the car world in 2004. At the time, it seemed madness to tear up a Ferrari Enzo to build a retro-inspired special. Now it"s a design masterpiece.Glickenhaus then applied elements of that design to a Ferrari F430 GT racing car, and built the P4/5C, which competed at the N rburgring 24 Hours only 18 months after being conceived. And since 2015, the bespoke SCG003 has been competing at the N24 and even took pole in 2017, ahead of Porsche, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-AMG. SCG is not in the business of supercar vapourware.So, a bit more on the 004S, then. Not a pretty name, or a particularly pretty car, to some eyes in the TopGear.com office. The specs though? Cor blimey guv"nor.
