I'm just hoping to see one on track, possibly one in the paddock at The Mitty maybe. There's been a few nice cars there but yeah, leaning towards the number seen in person to be equal to Bugatti, Pagani, Koenigsegg, etc.

Most exotic car I've seen in the real world was a LaFerrari parked as a show piece in a luxury and exotic dealership in Salt Lake, Utah.

Could that engine be related to the HPD HR35TT already seen in the SCG003C, and, maybe more relevant for a hypercar use, in the Acura ARX-05 ?

Great stuff! Memories of reading about the original, probably in Hot Rod, and about the Baja in National Geo (at grand parents). Crazy, exotic stuff for a ten year old in Florida.

Hi
No it is a new engine developed for us and will be branded Glickenhaus.
Not Alfa/Ferrari based.
More information soon.
850HP in 30 Hour Endurance Tune.

Napolis · 7 Feb 2020, 16:31 (Ref:3956312)

This is our 004C SPX/GT3-GTD/GTE-LM That will race VLN1,2,6HRQR and N24

TF110 · 7 Feb 2020, 17:30 (Ref:3956318)

looks good! Hope to see it racing from my screen in a few months.

I know that this is mostly about the LMP1 hypercar deal, but even the GT3 and GTE/GTLM car would be a big deal with Ford pulling out with the close of their program and BMW cutting off their WEC program. Especially if the car gets ACO and IMSA approval.

If we find customers for GTE/GTD we will build them.
As soon as we sell 200 road versions which will be soon 004C will be GT3.

Akrapovic · 7 Feb 2020, 18:34 (Ref:3956330)

That is absolutely gorgeous.

Koenigsegg · 7 Feb 2020, 20:27 (Ref:3956346)

Looks good!

Out of curiousity, what's the status of the SCG 006 and the GT4 version of it?

Next on our to do list.

Koenigsegg · 9 Feb 2020, 16:47 (Ref:3956632)

Good to know, I like the variety it'll bring to the class.

broadrun96 · 9 Feb 2020, 21:02 (Ref:3956662)

As much as I like their cars, it like the McLaren, MB, Audi are a bit out of line with the other cars of GT4. They're all almost as expensive as a street car as the other GT4s are for the racing chassis.

Why is taking so long for "Jim" to announce what engine to fit in the hypercar?

Just because you don't see it didn't mean it hasn't happened. We get that you think non-major manufacturers is garbage but get over it

S griffin · 9 Feb 2020, 23:54 (Ref:3956684)

I am looking forward to it. It’s nice to see this constructor giving it a try. Good to have that variety

Bcarr6 · 10 Feb 2020, 17:46 (Ref:3956798)

I think everyone but Juntos is hoping for the best for Glickenhaus in GTX, GT3, Hypercar, whatever they race in.

Different and exciting cars.

Re: the engine manufacturer- if Juntos hasn’t heard about it, it hasn’t happened and never will... right?

Interesting LMDh not Hypercar. "the SF90 Stradale, its new Supercar with a 1000CV Hybrid system with electric motors in the front train, but apparently the high costs of this project made Ferrari managers give up taking it forward." (In Le Mans Hypercar...)

Interesting. I believe LMDh want a lower ICE output than 500KG plus spec hybrid. Our ICE only Hypercar needs to make 620KG. Making a 30 hour 620KG ICE engine is a challenge. Personally I don't believe current DPI ICE engine design can reach that output for 30 Hours.

Based in what then? Why so many secrets?

620kg I presume you mean kw as in kilowatts? 620kw=831hp, that's the total being tossed around for hypercar lmp.

Yes to be safe we will test our engines for 30 hours at 850HP.
