Jim Glickenhaus is the Founder of Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus where they design and create not just cars, but dreams. He and his team compete in the toughest races in the world including the 24 Hours of Nürburging, The Baja 1000, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The vehicles they design and build compete in these events and they take those winners and create road-legal versions, transforming endurance race cars into daily drives. This year they were the first American manufacturer to podium at the 24 Hours of Lemans since 1967. They finished this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring First in Class, P12 overall, and they finished 3rd overall at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, and it was their first time racing there. At Villa d’Este Concours d’Elegance Jim unveiled their SCG 004CS to the world, a supercar like no other.
