Glickenhaus has detailed the first technical characteristics of its future road-legal Hypercar. Taking up the stylistic codes as well as the chassis of the 007LMH entered in the World ChampionshipEndurance, the Glickenhaus 007S will be a three-seater car (one at the front and two at the rear, like the McLaren F1 For example). It will be powered by a turbocharged V8 engine developing around 1000 horsepower, for a curb weight of 1270 kg.

The American manufacturer also specifies that the first model has already been sold, at a price of 2,9 million dollars (or 2,67 million euros). In total, 24 copies will be put on sale. Delivery should begin two years after the 24 orders are placed. 

As a reminder, Glickenhaus has been present in the World Endurance Championship since the introduction of the Hypercar class in 2021. Jim Glickenhaus' team managed to obtain a podium during the 24 2022 Hours of Le Mans, with a 3rd place at stake. The American team will be back in the WEC this year with one car, with potentially two Hypercars at Le Mans.
