Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus just released a series of images showing off its latest top-shelf performance monster – the SCG003S. The first three letters are a nod to the car’s creator, while the “003” signifies that this is the third model that SCG has generated. The most important piece here is that final “S,” which stands for Stradale. Long story short, this hyperspeed spaceship is 100 percent street legal, which is kinda crazy when you start digging into the specs. Here’s an example – how does more than 2 G’s of grip sound?
Based on the Ferrari Enzo, the SCG003S joins its more hardcore track brethren as a true road-worthy supercar, complete with a full interior. Performance, however, seems unhindered.
Built by hand by the Italian firm Manufattura Automobili Torino, the SCG003S employs a carbon fiber chassis, plus big, purposeful aero similar to its race-special siblings. The huge downforce (over 1,500 pounds at 155 mph) helps this thing create ungodly amounts of stick, generating over 2 G’s of lateral acceleration at speed. That’s more than any other road car on the market, by the way.
The rest of the package is just as unhinged, with a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 dumping more than 750 horsepower and roughly 600 pound-feet of torque to the rear axle. Routing the muscle is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while curb weight is kept at just 1,200 kg (2,646 pounds).
With that kind of power-to-weight ratio, you’re looking a sprint to 62 mph in less than three seconds, while top speed clocks in at an estimated 217 mph.
Throwing the anchor are carbon ceramic brakes, while owners will have a chance to tune and tweak various settings for maximum at-the-limit drivability.
Look for the SCG003S to make its big public debut at the Geneva Motor Show next year.
