SCG 003 and SCG 003C (formerly known as "P 33")

ah, there you go, yes i recall the photos, very cool!

 

Just lemme know.....could be kinda fun to do an ongoing build project.

As with all of your projects, I'm looking forward to each and every update.

Godspeed Mr. Glickenhaus

 

Great to know you are working with the Italian Design Universities.

If you would like to work with an American institution we would welcome your input.
We were the only university in the Americas to finish in the top 8 schools for the Ferrari Design Competition in '11.

fair enough

 

This is pretty amazing. Jim, keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the progress once it's revealed.

Congratulations on this project..Jim..

Even your quiet moments must be Loud with enthusiasm.

Your undertakings are a tribute to all who Dream...like me !

Cant wait to see how this one turn out!

Huge difference. It also helps aesthetically in my opinion. Gives the car a more nimble and athletic look. Of course there are some exceptions to the rule.

Quick question Jim. What was the difference in overall height between the Enzo and P 4/5. I'm assuming P 4/5 is a couple of inches lower?

 

Thanks. Must be a striking difference side by side. P 4/5 looks much more compact to my eyes.

 

The politics behind automotive technology has become evident to me, but I am still enthusiastic to see how cars "develop" in the years to come.

 

So I am a first time poster, somewhat long-time lurker....

Firstly, Mr. Glickenhaus, I am in awe of what you are doing. I wish you the best and look forward to see what comes of this project.

Secondly, you stated that were keen on keeping the engine relatively small and possibly turbocharged, i.e. turbo V6. Are you possibly considering the 3.8L turbo V8 that Maserati recently unveiled in their new Quattroporte?

 

a unique idea for rear (closer to engine intake) mounted intercooler, presumably due to side intake space restrictions, good controlled inlet air, and large outlet exit

I saw in the "driving supercars on the street" thread you were talking about the problems of low supercars scraping on driveways. Couldn't you just mount tiny skateboard or rollerblade wheels under the front end, attached to the frame that allow the car to get through those tough situations? Nose lifting can only do so much and if it isn't enough, you will still scrape. I feel as though there should be some sort of backup protection under the front end, like wheels or plastic skid plates, for when you come to an angle that is just too steep.

 

Now THAT is a Cold Air Intake!

 

intercooler feed, but close enough

was just an example of internal air channeling that common in race cars, and limited so in production cars, due to cost and complexity typically

the P33 project sounds like will take more advantage of this, and given it's smaller dimensions would need to for various reasons, aero, downforce, cooling, etc.

This kind of conversation is beyond my level. These words describe you, not your interlocutor. Your way of conversation suggests why you are not in touch with Luca.

@MODS This post is my end of conversation (if we can call it like that) with OP. I hope you will not consider this as off-topic that needs to be removed.
