Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus is an approved NHTSA United States Low Volume Manufacturer with racing in our blood. Racing pushes us to build cars that can run flat all out for 24 hours, compete with the best, and are fun to drive on the road. While racing P4/5C and SCG 003C have been the adventure of a lifetime, and we will
continue to race the 003C, and deliver 003S road cars, our dream is to race Le Mans. Our new goal is to build a car to enable us to race GTE/GTLM/GT3 at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, Daytona, Sebring, and ultimately Le Mans. In order to race these classes, SCG needs to scale, which is why we have developed and our proud to unveil the 004S, a road legal car in the United States with a 17 digit vin code under NHTSA’s Low Volume Manufacture guidelines.
A few weeks ago SCG leaked images of its new model our our Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/ScuderiaCameronGlickenhaus?notif_t=page_new_likesThe images have generated overwhelming interest and a number of of people have already ordered, signed Purchase Option Agreements, and sent in deposits.
The first 25 Founders Edition SCG 004S are scheduled for delivery in 2018-2019, and will go to passionate SCG supporters who will drive them and give SCG feedback which will help to make them great cars. It appears that the Founders Edition 004S will sell out soon.
Based on the overwhelming response from customers and automotive suppliers around the world, SCG is scaling our production so that in 2019-2020 we will be able to produce 250 cars. SCG is in discussions with several multi-billion dollar automotive suppliers who are interested in partnering with SCG to help us reach this scale. We will be announcing several of these alliances over the next year. Furthermore, SCG will be developing a dealer network to help expand our sales and service starting in 2019.
