If building hypercars were easy, everyone would do it (though, lately, it seems like that’s more true than ever). But Jim Glickenhaus loves a challenge. The former filmmaker and Ferrari collector turned entrepreneur launched Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in 2004 with dreams of competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship. In 2021, those dreams came true with the purpose-built SCG 007 LMH race car.
The 007 LMH would go on to have its fair share of on-track success. It took the pole position at Monza and Spa, and achieved podium finishes at both Le Mans and Sebring. Sadly, SCG has since pulled out of the WEC—but that means the company can now focus more of its attention on where it matters most to consumers: road cars.

Meet the SCG 007s. Based on the very same 007 LMH race car that took on Le Mans, Monza, Sebring, and so many others during its tenure, the 007s transfers its on-track skills to a completely street-legal race car for the road.
It starts with the engine. The 007s’ twin-turbocharged 6.2-liter V-8 sends a bonkers 1,000 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automated manual gearbox. All in a car that weighs just 3,417 pounds—or about as much as a 2025 Toyota Supra.
The suspension was designed with tracks like Le Mans in mind, the double-wishbone front and pushrod rear, featuring adjustable anti-roll bars that you can tweak depending on the track or your preferred driving style. The center-locking forged aluminum wheels are great for quick changes—say, if you want to slap on a pair of racing slicks. And the 007s even features onboard air jacks, which means you should be able to make most of those changes on the fly.

The aerodynamics are virtually unchanged from the race car, give or take a few updates. The front end still has a sizeable diffuser with fins at each corner, a larger vertical sail extending from the rear of the cabin, and a massive spoiler. SCG says that, even with slicks, the advanced aerodynamics allow the 007s to “operate at the limits of grip.”
But don’t think the 007s’ race credibility means it isn’t usable every day. It has hydraulically activated doors for easy ingress and egress, a front-end lift so you don’t scrape the nose, and yes, even air conditioning.

“It’s not just a road-going replica, it’s a rethinking of what a hypercar should be,” the company says in a statement. “While most ‘extreme’ track-day machines struggle to adapt to public roads, the 007s was shaped by aerodynamic excellence and thousands of testing laps on the world’s most demanding circuits—yet it glides effortlessly through urban traffic and summer heat.”
The SCG 007s makes its public debut at this year’s Villa d’Este in Lake Como, Italy, before heading to customers hopefully sometime this year. We don’t know how much it costs yet, but expect to pay a pretty penny for that much racing pedigree.
