SCG teases a brand-new, ‘affordable’ kit car

James Glickenhaus has revealed the first pic of a new vehicle his company – Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus – has been working on releasing lately. It essentially represents a hybrid between the Boot (dune buggy) and the SCG 004 (coupe-shaped racecar).

The message says that the company is looking for an optimum way to launch a kit car in production that would be flexible in terms of the platform it is based upon, boast a number of interchangeable elements (such as body panels, brakes and suspension), and be attractively priced. The ability for quick body and kit swapping would enable the owners of such cars to easily re-rig them for various activities, such as desert races, rallies, etc.

The SCG product range currently includes the supercar named 003, the SCG 007 Le-Mans Concept. the mid-engined 004S, and the off-road-capable Boot (see video for details). The latter comes powered by a 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine by General Motors, which delivers up to 650 hp (485 kW) along with 881 Nm (650 lb-ft) of torque to the wheels.
