Gallery: Glickenhaus 004S revealed at FOS

This particular example is actually a customer car. Featuring a brown interior complete with snakeskin print on the three seats to contrast its golden caramel like exterior. The driving position is centred, just like in the McLaren F1, with a light and spacious bubble cockpit to increase visibility and reduce any concerns about claustrophobia when hunkered down so low. From a looks perspective, It’s certainly a head-turner of a car, and one that isn’t easily missed. Which, we presume, is half the job when purchasing a car like this.

Handbuilt in Connecticut and expected to go on sale for £333,903, the 004S is of course the road-legal version of the almost identical Glickenhaus 004C GT3 race car that launched in 2020. Not to be left out, a nifty design feature of the track-focused 004CS spawned from the 004S means it can be quickly modified into a fully homologated race car to boot. Further cementing the firm’s serious belief in racing.

Entirely constructed from carbon-fibre and powered by a mid-mounted LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 from their American compatriots at General Motors, the Glickenhaus has an engine that puts down 659PS (484Kw) with a six-speed Graziano manual transmission to deliver ultimate driver engagement.

Delivering exceptional supercar track-inspired performance with unique, confident aesthetics, the Glickenhaus is sure to capture the imagination of those with a taste for originality.
