Racing Royalty - Speed has always fascinated car enthusiasts. Whether it's watching a Formula 1 race or admiring a supercar parked on a quiet street, the thrill of performance and the art of engineering never fail to captivate. But what happens when a racecar built for endurance racing ditches the track and enters everyday roads? That’s where things get truly exciting—especially when we’re talking about the SCG 007S, a machine that perfectly blurs the line between motorsport legend and road-going marvel.

Created by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG), the boutique American carmaker founded by film director and passionate collector Jim Glickenhaus, the SCG 007S is more than just a fast car—it’s a bold statement. After the SCG 007 LMH making a memorable impact in the World Endurance Championship (WEC), particularly with its final appearance at the Monza 6H in 2023, SCG has shifted gears by bringing the essence of its racing beast to public roads. And it’s doing so with a confidence that only a brand like SCG can pull off.

At the heart of the SCG 007S is a 6.2-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that unleashes an astonishing 1,000 horsepower and an equal amount of torque—1,000 Nm to be exact. That’s significantly more powerful than the race-legal version, which was limited to 670 horsepower. This raw energy is directed to the rear wheels through a 7-speed manual automatic transmission, ensuring that power delivery is both thrilling and responsive. Weighing just 1,550 kilograms, the car boasts a power-to-weight ratio that competes with some of the fiercest names in the performance world, putting it in the same weight class as icons like the Toyota Supra, but in an entirely different league of performance.

True to its racing pedigree, the SCG 007S is built for precision handling. It features a double wishbone front suspension and a pushrod rear suspension setup, engineered specifically for track dominance. The adjustable anti-roll bar adds to its dynamic versatility, while the forged aluminum wheels equipped with a center lock system and onboard air jacks allow lightning-fast tire changes—just like in a pit stop.

Aerodynamics are no afterthought here. The massive diffuser, bold vertical fins, and wide racing-style wings aren’t just for show; they’re critical to how the car slices through the air and hugs the pavement at high speeds. Even when fitted with slick tires, SCG claims the 007S can be driven right up to the very edge of mechanical grip. This is not just a hypercar—it’s a street-legal downforce monster.

One of the most striking aspects of the new 007S is how closely its design mirrors the race car. While not completely identical—it sits slightly taller, is narrower, and not as low to the ground—the resemblance is undeniable. The most notable difference lies in the cockpit, which has been significantly enlarged to accommodate a three-seat layout, just like the McLaren F1 and Speedtail.

And yet, despite all that raw intensity, SCG didn’t forget the human side of driving. The 007S is surprisingly livable thanks to thoughtful touches like hydraulic doors, a front nose lift system for navigating speed bumps, and full climate control to keep things comfortable on longer drives. It’s this balance of performance and practicality that makes the SCG 007S so compelling.

Well, only 24 units of this road-going hypercar will be produced, making it not just powerful, but incredibly exclusive. Its global debut is set for the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy in 2025, a fitting stage for such a rare creation. While the price remains under wraps, it’s clear that this car is aimed at collectors who crave more than just style—they want soul, speed, and a slice of racing heritage they can take on the open road.
With the SCG 007S, Jim Glickenhaus and his team have done more than build a fast car. They’ve crafted a tribute to endurance racing, a love letter to purists, and a bold vision of what happens when you refuse to play by industry rules. It's not just another hypercar—it’s a moving piece of racing history, and for the lucky few, it’s a dream made real. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | OBSCURESUPERCAR ON X | CARSCOOPS | ID.MOTOR1 | CARBUZZ ]
