Last month we reported on the unveiling of Jim Glickenhaus’s SCG003. It is a newly developed road car which will undergo a minor transformation before it can be entered into the LMP1 racing class, and be returned to road specification shortly thereafter.
Now news on the company’s Instagram profile has confirmed that the car has done a 6:42 second lap time of the notorious Nürburgring Nordschleife.
That is 15 seconds faster than Porsche’s 918 hypercar, although not McLaren or Ferrari have revealed the times for its P1 or LaFerrari. Needless to say, this is still an impressive feat.
The company also said that the lap time was done with additional weight ballasts and a restricted engine, and if these two factors were attended to, the car should be able to clock closer to 06:30 on street tyres.
Now we are simply awaiting the next manufacturer to topple the SCG003 of its throne, which could possibly be Koenigsegg.
