Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) has been granted
low-volume manufacturing status in the US by the NHTSA. That means that SCG now
has the right to build a low volume of sports cars in the US that don’t need to
meet all the safety and emissions requirements of other automakers. SCG plans
to use this authorization to build its 003S hyper car and can by law build up
to 325 of them per year.
SCG plans to start slowly and will make four to six
cars next year, and eight to ten cars in 2019. All of the vehicles will be made
in Sleepy Hollow, New York. SCG is eyeing a new manufacturing facility though
that might make up to 100 cars annually.
The SCG 003S will be the first car made and each
unit sells for nearly $2 million. The car is a mid-enine exptic and packs a
750hp twin turbo V8 with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. An even better
performing 003CS is in the works and a track only 003C.
