Do you need any more convincing that James Glickenhaus’ next project will be fantastic than that? Does that low, sleek, LeMans prototype-esque shape not fill you with automotive lust? What more convincing do you need that this thing will be awesome?

Ah, right. The P4/5 competizione. Just in case there were any errant minds wondering about Glickenhaus’ commitment to building cars that are both beautiful and track capable. The new one currently in the pipeline is called the SCG003c. I have no doubt that it will look amazing. Aside from the visual aspect though, I have every reason to believe that it’ll be fast as all hell.

He’s kept mum on the specifications and even what it’ll look like, but he’s spoken on the ethos behind building it. Dismayed by the “monsters” that the LaFerrari, the P1, and the 918 have become, he’s decided to go a different route:

What if I stepped back? Simpler. Lighter. Smaller? Could it be that “Less is really more?” That’s what our new road car is going to be. Lighter, smaller, simpler and very beautiful. Our goals are similar HP/LB to my P 3/4 and something that is a new, forward design where it’s three wing are integrated into the form as a Porsche 959′s rear wing is. I’m calling it 003 as it’s our third one off and it will have three integrated wings. It will be Dino Competizione sized. We’re thinking CF tub, a TTV6 and a very sexy shape. Paolo will be heading up the team again and my long time friend and chief mechanic Sal Barone will be making sure it all works and Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus and it’s associates will be designing, engineering and building 003. 003 will be badged as an SCG as is P 4/5 Competizione. From the day I took the Ferrari Badge off of P 4/5 Competizione (something viewed by millions of people on our FB site) I haven’t looked back.
