Nowadays, the term “Racecar for the road” is awfully misused, mostly by marketing “experts” who are desperately trying to seduce people with more money than sense. That said, there are a few companies out there that do not mess about. Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SC Glickenhaus) has been getting a lot of exposure in recent times. Their philosophy is simple. They build racecars for the toughest races out there and then, they build street versions of them. It seems the same might be true for one of their latest creations – the SCG 007 Le Mans racecar.
Their road-legal 007S is already US legal and might soon be UK/SVA, Euro/TUF, Middle East, and Japan-legal. This is pretty much what the manufacturer shared on Instagram, so you can be sure they are serious about making their 007 LM a global road-legal car. Not only that but, according to SCG, you will be able to drive it to the racetrack of your choice, do 100 laps and then drive back home.
The car will feature adjustable suspension, which could be set-up for road or track use and the full arsenal of active driver aids (TC/ABS/ESC). The road-legal SCG will also have the ability to seat three people, thanks to its center driving position, accompanied with two passenger seats on each side, similar to a McLaren F1, Speedtail, and Gordon Murray T50}. In true race car fashion, the road-legal SCG 007S will feature pneumatic jacks, allowing for a quick lift, in order to change swap the tires, or other components should you need to. The car’s aerodynamics will also be up to LMH standards.
The niche company seems to follow in Enzo Ferrari’s footsteps, pursuing automotive perfection on the racetracks. The company has already proven that it can make some truly capable vehicles. Should all 24 orders be executed, the SCG 007S will probably be the closest thing to a modern-day street-legal racecar we can get, at least for a while.
