Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus LLC[1] (/ˈɡlɪkənhaʊs/GLICK-ən-hows; commonly known asGlickenhaus, sometimes abbreviated asSCG) is an American luxuryautomotive manufacturer based inSleepy Hollow, New York, United States. Founded in 2004 by Americanfilm producer and entrepreneurJames Glickenhaus, the company is dedicated to developing and manufacturing high-performancesports cars andrace cars.
The company's name is a combination of the surnames of James Glickenhaus and his wife, Meg Cameron.[2]
American film producer and entrepreneurJames Glickenhaus founded Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in 2004. The goal was to develop low-volume, high-performance racing cars for theNürburgring 24 Hours races.[3]
In 2005, James Glickenhaus, who was approached byPininfarina asking to see if he was interested in producing a one-off car,[4] commissioned a sports car design inspired by theFerrari P series for US$4 million.[5] He had purchased the last availableFerrari Enzo and sent both it and Glickenhaus' personalFerrari P4 to Pininfarina for development upon receipt of the car.[6] The car was revealed to the public in 2006 at thePebble Beach Concours d'Elegance as theFerrari P4/5 by Pininfarina.[7] Years later, James Glickenhaus announced his intentions to take the P4/5 racing at theNürburgring 24 Hours, and in 2011, the P4/5 Competizione was revealed as a Glickenhaus-badged sports car, utilizing the chassis and engine from theFerrari 430 Scuderia chassis and was built toGT2 specification.[8]
The P4/5 would serve as inspiration for Glickenhaus' sports cars moving forward. The company's first proprietary sports car built from the ground up would be presented in 2015 as theScuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003.[9] Its initial specification was originally presented in September 2012,[10] with pre-production prototypes undergoing testing until December 2014.[11] For the production of both vehicles, Italian design studio and car manufacturerManifattura Automobili Torino lent its production lines inTurin.[12] In 2017, a plan to launch the production of another sports car called theScuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 004 was presented, which finally went into production in 2020.[13][14] At the end of 2020, Glickenhaus presented theScuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG Boot, a high-performance off-road car modeled afterSteve McQueen's 1967 Baja Boot.[15]
Glickenhaus entered theLe Mans Hypercar category in 2021 with theScuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 007 LMH. It would be the first American sports car to enter the class, and at the2022 24 Hours of Le Mans, it would become the first American sports car to score an overall podium at Le Mans in 53 years since the1969 24 Hours of Le Mans.[16]
Cars manufactured by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus typically carry the company's abbreviation 'SCG' as a prefix. Glickenhaus currently offers four road cars including their derivative trim levels;[17] theSCG 003,SCG Boot,SCG 004, andSCG 007s. The company has also produced the SCG 008 kit car and previously teased the SCG 006 retro styled sports car,[18][19] although neither car is currently listed on the company's website.[20][21]
