the marque

la notice

/ a marque made, a course set for le mans.

scuderia cameron glickenhaus (scg), also known as glickenhaus, is an american house of the automobile, established in new york by the film producer and entrepreneur jim glickenhaus. the house was formed to give substance to a long-held aim: to build racing cars of his own, and in time to compete at the 24 hours of le mans.

/ the work began at the nürburgring 24 hours

the work began at the nürburgring 24 hours. in the early seasons scuderia scg campaigned the p4/5c, a one-off derived from glickenhaus’s ferrari p4/5. the results, and the following they drew, made plain that a marque could stand. from that car came the first proprietary model, the scg.003, and with it the passage from special project to manufacturer.

/ the scg.003. from a special project, a manufacturer.

the 003, a clean-sheet design, was shown at the geneva motor show in 2015. the competizione, scg.003c, was followed by the road car, scg.003s. for five seasons the house ran an international endurance programme—at the nürburgring 24 hours and elsewhere—both as a works team and as a supplier to clients.

/ the mandate ended in late 2016. the marque has since continued.

in the years that followed, the marque added the 004, the 005 and the 007—in road and racing form—to the p4/5c and the 003. in 2021 jim glickenhaus, jesse glickenhaus and the team entered the fia world endurance championship as a manufacturer in the le mans hypercar category, with the 007. the following year, at the 24 hours of le mans, that car finished third and fourth overall.

the design

/ a gt conceived for the road and the circuit.

the 003 was the first clean-sheet car of the house: a gt for the road and the circuit.

/ drawn as a racing instrument.

the volumes at granstudio, by lowie vermeersch and goran popovic; the technical programme under paolo garella at manifattura automobili torino. cabin, engine and four wheels wrapped as one; a raindrop cockpit in the lmp manner. geneva, march 2015, for the competizione; geneva again, march 2017, for the stradale.

the engineering

/ for competition.

a carbon structure throughout: monocoque, frames and crash members, to dmsb and fia practice. the tub itself, a hundred and five kilograms; torsional stiffness above forty thousand newton-metres per degree. rear frames interchangeable, so the same centre might take another engine

the body stands on a skeleton of carbon ribs—the method of touring superleggera—so panels may be light, and repaired without rebuilding the car.

the racing

/ endurance campaigns at the 24 nürburgring

the nürburgring was the brief. two cars ran the twenty-four hours in 2015; first in class. the vln meetings of that spring were the preparation.

a works effort, and cars for clients. five seasons of endurance at that circuit followed, under the marque’s own hand.
