Variants[edit]

SCG 004S[edit]

The 004S or "Stradale" (Street) is the road-going version of the 004 series. The 004S adopts a retro design reminiscent of old supercars such as the Maserati MC12 of 2004 or the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina for James Glickenhaus in 2006. It has the particularity of the arrangement of three passengers with the driver's seat in a central position as the McLaren F1 or the recent Gordon Murray Automotive T.50.[3]

SCG 004C[edit]

SCG 004C prototype

The SCG 004C or "Competizione" (Competition) is the racing variant of the 004 series. The car is developed to ultimately serve as a platform for LM GTE, GTLM, GT3, and GT4 categories as well as Germany's NLS series. It's powered by the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine based on GM's LT4 block, developed by Autotechnica Motori. The car made its debut in the 2020 24 Hours of Nürburgring and finished 14th overall.[4][5] In 2022 it was confirmed that Glickenhaus aimed for the car to make its Le Mans debut in the GT3 class in 2024.[6]

SCG 004CS[edit]

The SCG 004CS or "Competizione Stradale" (Street Competition) is a version that can swap between road and race configurations. This version can be driven on the road, but with a few simple modifications becomes a homologated race car that can be a track day car. The car will be powered by a supercharged V8 engine that can reportedly produce approximately 850 hp (634 kW).[7][8]
