Jim Glickenhaus's SCG003C Has The Same Engine As The 2016 Acura NSX



There are now two SCG003C LMP1/road cars on this planet, and both just wrapped up another shakedown in Italy. There is video. There are photos. And there's also this little tidbit: The race car is powered by a version of the twin-turbocharged V6 used in the Acura NSX.

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has made another SCG003C for the U.S. team, giving the American's their first crack at running the race car around the track and now completing 200 miles of testing without any major complications.



Both chassis #001 and #002 will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, before running at the Nürburgring and the 24-hour race later that month, and possibly competing at a few other enduros this year, including Spa.

"It's a GT car that looks, feels and drives like a pretty LMP car," says team owner and awesome human being Jim Glickenhaus. He also talks about the massive torque from the twin-turbo'd V6, which we know comes from Honda. But in the accompanying video, there's an interesting line in Italian: "Vi diciamo solo che il motore è quello della nuova Honda NSX!" or "We tell you only that the engine is the new Honda NSX!"

We're waiting to hear back from Glick to confirm, but as we discovered earlier this week in Detroit, the NSX was completely re-engineered to accommodate a new 75-degree V6, and that timeline runs quite neatly with the development of the SCG003C. More information as we know it…

Very interesting indeed!

That car sounds wickedly awesome! I hope this is true as it means it's getting plenty of real world testing already

In this video at around the 4:03 mark they talk about EV mode and battery. Pretty much doesn't have a big battery but just enough to pull in and out of your parking garage. Hybrid seems like it used mostly for torque fill and handling. What if Honda's new "Power Unit" tech is to use super capacitor instead of batteries? Less space, lighter weight, quick charging. Nothing hints at this but wouldn't that be a surprise? Either way, I think the weight will come in at arounf 3,300-3,400 lb.

Jim Glickenhaus' SCG 003 Will Be Powered By A Twin-Turbo Honda V6

It's no secret that the relationship between Jim Glickenhaus and Ferrari has been a bit, um, strained. So when Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus announced plans to build its first ground-up hypercar, there were questions about what engine would be stuffed in the middle. Now we know.

Jalopnik has learned that the SCG 003 will use a Honda 3.5-liter V6, boosted with a pair of turbos and making well over 500 hp.

Exactly what six SCG will use is unknown, but the smart money is on a variant of the J35Y4 found in the Acura RLX. With direct injection, a single overhead cam, and an 11.5:1 compression ratio putting out 310 hp and 272 lb-ft of torque, it could provide a suitable starting point for the SCG 003. That engine also forms the basis for Honda's HR35TT V6 (pictured at top), which Starworks and Honda race in two HPD Tudor SportsCar Championship prototypes.

And then there's another variable in the powertrain equation: will it be a hybrid? Considering Glickenhaus describes the SCG 003 was an LMP1 car for the road – and based on both the chassis images and a few renderings we've seen, it is – something electrically augmented certainly isn't out of the question. We'll know more in the run-up to the SCG 003's debut at the Geneva Motor Show next year.

Taken from SCF's facebook post on 1-3-2015. So is this the new NSX engine fitted to the SCG? It's looks very similar to what debuted for the new NSX!
