Jim Glickenhaus longs for an era when you could drive a race car on public roads, end up at a major endurance race, win, and then drive back home. It’s an era that ended about the time of the Porsche 906—the mid-1960s. With the SCG 003C, that’s about to change.
We’ve already told you a lot about this car, so let’s cut right to the chase and show you video of the SCG 003 testing in Italy at the Autodromo Vallelunga. Here’s what Glickenhaus said about the test session:
We are very happy with our latest testing session. SCG 003C is really something. It’s a GT car that looks, feels and drives like a pretty LMP car. Its TTV6 makes huge torque from low revs and the reaction to our project continues to grow. It looks like we’ll be able to enter a lot of different races so our race car customers will have a wide choice around the world to enjoy their race version. Our road version is on track and the modular road/race construction is holding up very well and is very easy to service. As all tests do, these showed us that there are improvements that can be made and next week we set off to test for 5 days to continue our journey to the [Nurburgring] 24. – Jim Glickenhaus
The car is still draped in the cool-looking “urban camo” wrap. Underneath that, there’s a lot of carbon fiber and a Autotecnica Motori Honda-based engine, a twin-turbocharged V-6.
