Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has just finished work
on its modern interpretation of the Baja Boot. The niche carmaker and motorsport
outfit started working on its modern Baja Boot in January 2018, and the example
presented is a two-door model.
SCG also plans on building the Boot in four-door
guise. Plans from earlier this year called for the company to build no less
than five two-door models before the end of 2019 and race one of them in the
Baja 1000.
Powering the new Boot is an LT4 V8 engine from GM
pumping out a cool 650 HP and much like the original Baja Boot, the new one
features an intriguing exhaust system popping out from over the rear wheel
arches. Road-legal models will feature four-wheel independent suspension with
19-inch of travel and 37-inch all-terrain tires. The available Baja package
will see suspension travel increased to an incredible 22 inches.
Other alterations made for the Baja package will
include bespoke 2.5 front and rear coilovers as well as 3.5 Bypass front and
4.0 Bypass rear shocks. The off-roader will also get Wilwood six-piston brake
calipers up front with 14-inch discs as well as different 37-inch off-road
tires.
SCG plans on competing at this year’s Baja 1000 with
its new Boot and will continue to build the two-door model through 2020. Once
production of the two-door comes to an end, SCG will turn its attention to a
larger four-door variant.
