One of The Hottest New Supercars Is American Made


American Made SCG 004SHe said he was going to do it, and he did. Noted car collector and privateer Jim Glickenhaus has proven dreams do come true. In mid 2017 Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus received approval from the NHTSA to be a Low Volume Manufacturer in the United States. Jim has a history of taking potent race cars, most notably the Ferrari P4/5, and making them, shall we say user friendly, aka, road worthy. Now he’s scaled up to being a full on car manufacturer.SCG 004 side viewHis newest creation, the SCG 004S looks to be the hottest American made supercar, one to truly rival the big boys.

New SCG 004S top viewFast forward to November 2017 when SCG unveiled the SCG 004S, an American made 5.0-liter 650 horsepower twin-turbo V8, for the regular supercar connoisseur. With a base price of $400,000, the SCG 004S is on par with a Lamborghini Aventador or Ferrari 488 Pista. Unlike these which only come with an automatic transmission, you can choose a six-speed gated manual transmission or paddle shift option on the SCG 004S.
