The smaller size is good for our aero as body can be slimmer.

Turbodcc should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I thought the two choices were both V6, for best packaging?? Either way, fantastic news! Will we ever know the possible other choices? Maybe they will get picked up by other teams and fill out the grid a bit more

Our V8 is still very compact only 10CM longer than the Alfa V6 we started designing for.

https://autosprint.corrieredellospor...i_glickenhaus/

Glickenhaus theorem:

Race cars

Racing cars are not created from numbers or calculations, they are inspired by the beautiful things you see in your life.
They come from Michelangelo's David.
They are suggested from nights in Paris.
You conceive them the first time while you are speeding through Lower Manatthan on a Cigarette motorboat.
They flow while listening to a John Kennedy speech.
You feel them in the American anthem “The Star Spangled Banner“ performed by Jimi Hendrix.
You perceive them in Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".
In the tremor that has the face of your newborn child.
In the return home of the daughter you thought you had lost.
Race cars are born from the texts of Bob Dylan.
From "Imagine" by John Lennon.
From the book "My terrible joys" by Enzo Ferrari.
They spring from the eyes of your one true love.

Event though a lot is shut down we are still open. 004C was homologated by the Italian FIA yesterday. She is ready to race. We're open in NY, California and Italy and our CT factory construction is continuing. Our Le Mans Hypercar engineers are working away and we'll have an official press release soon.
Stay safe, don't panic. This too shall pass!!

Thanks for the update and keeping us informed. Little information like this is a great way to look forward during these times where everything is canceled and closed. Hope all is well with you and your's and the crew.

We're fine and remain on track. We've sold a customer Glickenhaus 007 Le Mans Hypercar and hope that they will join us when the season starts in 2021 at Sebring. Our GT3/SPX is ready to race and we will be at The N24. Our Glickenhaus Boot will race the Baja 1000 in November.

The world has changed and this change will be with us for a while.
We're a micro company. To survive indefinitely we have to sell about 20 cars a year which we feel is very possible. Our customers haven't cancelled. We still have a multi year backlog. Our price range for Glickenhaus Boots and 004's is from $250K-600K (our Hypercars 003/007 are only built to order). We believe we will survive. We're glad we're not bigger. We do think that the market for 2MM$ Hypercars and frankly any sports car over 600K$ will remain very thin. We also feel strongly that the cost of all racing will have to come way down. We hope to see the day where normal people can "tape the headlights, gather their friends and go racing".

I do think you will find a lot of supports for that statement in here

That is a good read and makes it more understandable why you always started from "scratch" with your cars.

Not to go too off topic here, but we do miss the "cheap" one-purpose vehicle that was available back in the day.
Cars today are very focused at being allround good instead of just being good at making great fun.
Some do exist in the GTI segment, but none as purist as the Lotus 7s of the past.

Are we to expect(look forward to) something like this in the future from Glickenhaus?
