Glickenhaus SCG 003

The Glickenhaus badge carries a certain expectation in a 600-car catalogue, but the numbers place the SCG 003 in a more precise position than a simple reputation can suggest. Its used price rank is 44th, meaning it sits above 556 other cars in the collection, while its top speed rank of 37th places it among the fastest entries available. The question is whether that level of distinction is matched by performance, and the catalogue data answers clearly.

The SCG 003 delivers 750 bhp from a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, with 800 Nm of torque and a 0-100 km/h time of 2.97 seconds. That acceleration figure is faster than 491 of the 600 cars in the catalogue, placing it 109th overall, while its 351 km/h top speed reaches the 37th position. The result is a car that does not rely on price alone to stand apart. Its £1,800,000 used price is supported by measurable ability across the performance rankings.

The detail that separates the SCG 003 from many alternatives is the combination of layout and purpose. It is a track-only 2-door coupe with a V8, twin-turbocharged power delivery and rear-wheel drive, a pairing shared by 132 cars in the catalogue and a more specific twin-turbocharged V8 configuration found in 86. The SCG 003 takes that formula and places it within a smaller corner of the collection, with Glickenhaus representing a single catalogue entry among the 600 cars.

Its 2015 model year and USA origin add context to a car that occupies a distinct position rather than following the broadest route to performance. Glickenhaus was founded in 2004 in the United States, and the SCG 003 reflects a focused interpretation of what a high-performance machine can represent in a curated collection.

The £2,400 cost per bhp figure also shows the balance being asked of an owner. This is not simply a purchase measured by output, but a decision based on where a car sits among hundreds of possible choices.

The expectation created by the Glickenhaus name leads to a search for something unusual, and the catalogue confirms that the SCG 003 earns attention through a combination of speed, specification and position. In a dream garage, this is the car that marks a deliberate choice: a 750 bhp, rear-wheel-drive, twin-turbocharged V8 track machine from a single-entry marque in the collection, giving the garage a machine defined by its exact place in the numbers.
