The Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG003S is the latest contender to attack the road car lap record at the iconic Nürburgring and will also first make an official debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. The company claims that this will be the fastest roadgoing car ever and they are dead serious.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is the current production car Nürburgring record holder set at 6:57 seconds in September 2013. They only way for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to succeed is that if their performance SCG003C exceeds the current title holder.
Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus is expecting that the SCG003S will have a 6:30-second complete 'Ring circle, which is roughly 27 seconds faster compared with the Porsche 918 Spyder. And they will be wearing Dulop street-legal tires.
There will be two forms of the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG003. The Stradale (S) is road in Italian and Competizione (C) is well, you know what this is for.
Since both cars have been design with Le Mans prototype racer tech, there are supposedly only minimal differences between the two. But the SCG003S (Stradale) weighs less, approximately 2866 pounds with fuel. And this is built on carbon fiber for light weight and structural rigidity.
Being prepped for breaking the Nürburgring record, the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG003S is equipped with a BMW-based 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 producing 800 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, according to Car and Driver.
This road car is expected to be significantly more powerful than the SCG's race car and has around 250 more horsepower. Drive will be sent a hydraulically controlled single-clutch seven-speed sequential transmission. The SCG estimates a top speed of 217 mph and a downforce of more than 1550 pounds at speeds above 155 mph.
A Ferrari Manettino-style dial is included in the steering wheel which will allow the driver to switch between 4 different modes: Comfort, Sport, Track, and Rain. But there is further dial which is only operational on Track mode will allow control over the traction control.
According to AutoExpress UK, in order to boost the performance of the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG003S on track, the car houses a push-rod suspension at the front and back and carbon ceramic brakes, in addition to the already mentioned high-performance Dunlop tyres. Inside are padded leather seats, video feeds for visibility, automatic climate control, and electrically adjustable shock absorbers.
It will be an amazing 2017 Geneva Motor Show as the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG003S makes it appearance. And what's exciting is the car can actually put up the numbers the company claims and beat Porsche's record on the Nürburgring.
