Glickenhaus Made Its Le Mans Car Street-Legal. And You Can Buy One
more true than ever
). But Jim Glickenhaus loves a challenge. The former filmmaker and Ferrari collector turned entrepreneur launched Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in 2004 with dreams of competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship. In 2021, those dreams came true with the purpose-built SCG 007 LMH race car.
The 007 LMH would go on to have its fair share of on-track success. It took the pole position at Monza and Spa, and achieved podium finishes at both Le Mans and Sebring. Sadly,
SCG
has since pulled out of the WEC—but that means the company can now focus more of its attention on where it matters most to consumers: road cars.

Meet the SCG 007s. Based on the very same 007 LMH race car that took on
Le Mans
, Monza, Sebring, and so many others during its tenure, the 007s transfers its on-track skills to a completely street-legal race car for the road.
It starts with the engine. The 007s' twin-turbocharged 6.2-liter V-8 sends a bonkers 1,000 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automated manual gearbox. All in a car that weighs just 3,417 pounds—or about as much as a
2025 Toyota Supra
.
The suspension was designed with tracks like Le Mans in mind, the double-wishbone front and pushrod rear, featuring adjustable anti-roll bars that you can tweak depending on the track or your preferred driving style. The center-locking forged aluminum wheels are great for quick changes—say, if you want to slap on a pair of racing slicks. And the 007s even features onboard air jacks, which means you should be able to make most of those changes on the fly.

The aerodynamics are virtually unchanged from the race car, give or take a few updates. The front end still has a sizeable diffuser with fins at each corner, a larger vertical sail extending from the rear of the cabin, and a massive spoiler. SCG says that, even with slicks, the advanced aerodynamics allow the 007s to 'operate at the limits of grip.'
But don't think the 007s' race credibility means it isn't usable every day. It has hydraulically activated doors for easy ingress and egress, a front-end lift so you don't scrape the nose, and yes, even air conditioning.

'It's not just a road-going replica, it's a rethinking of what a hypercar should be,' the company says in a statement. 'While most 'extreme' track-day machines struggle to adapt to public roads, the 007s was shaped by aerodynamic excellence and thousands of testing laps on the world's most demanding circuits—yet it glides effortlessly through urban traffic and summer heat.'
The SCG 007s makes its public debut at this year's Villa d'Este in Lake Como, Italy, before heading to customers hopefully sometime this year. We don't know how much it costs yet, but expect to pay a pretty penny for that much racing pedigree.

Michigan Gov. Whitmer makes another White House visit to meet with Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the toll tariffs are taking on the auto industry and the potential effects of his tax and spending bill on Medicaid. It's the latest in a string of meetings between the Democratic governor and the Republican president after the two frequently clashed during his first term. In his second term, Whitmer has adopted a more diplomatic approach, drawing some backlash from fellow Democrats. But it's also resulted in multiple wins for Whitmer's state, including Trump's approving $50 million in storm relief and awarding a new fighter jet mission for an Air National Guard base in the state. 'I've always said that I'll work with anyone to get things done for Michigan,' Whitmer, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said in a statement Tuesday. 'That's why I've continued to go to Washington, D.C., to make sure that Michiganders are front and center when critical decisions are being made.' The private meeting between Whitmer and Trump — which a White House official would not confirm but did stress Trump's continued focus on Michigan — marks a rare instance of the president sitting with a leading Democratic figure. In recent weeks, Trump attacked Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, telling him to 'go to hell," while also taking aim at other high-profile Democratic governors who have pushed back on some of his policies, including California's Gavin Newsom and Illinois' JB Pritzker, also considered possible 2028 candidates. Pritzker has aided Texas Democrats in leaving their state to stay in Illinois to block Republicans from their needed quorum to pass a new congressional map backed by Trump. Early Tuesday, Trump called Pritzker 'probably the dumbest of all governors' in a television interview. Whitmer has been more careful, criticizing some of Trump's policies rather than the president himself. She issued an executive directive last week to assess the impact of tariffs that she said have led to 'massive economic uncertainty' — without mentioning Trump's name once. Tuesday's appearance ended with far less controversy than her trip to the White House in April. Whitmer was unexpectedly ushered into the Oval Office during that visit, standing awkwardly nearby as the Republican president signed executive orders and assailed his political opponents during a photo opportunity. In their White House meeting Tuesday, Whitmer said that she told Trump and 'his team about the impact tariffs are having on Michigan's economy, especially our auto industry.' She also discussed 'changes in the Medicaid program, and ongoing recovery efforts following the ice storm in Northern Michigan this year." Whitmer also saw Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and chief of staff Susie Wiles while at the White House. Trump announced last month that he had spoken with Whitmer to inform her that he was appproving $50 million in federal funds for Michigan to support repairs and recovery from a March ice storm. In April, Trump traveled to Michigan to announce a new mission for Selfridge Air National Guard Base, which Whitmer has sought for years.

Stock Movers: Super Micro, Rivian, Axon
On this episode of Stock Movers: Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Sonali Basak, Carol Massar and Matt Miller. - Super Micro (SMCI) shares dropped after lowering its fiscal year sales forecast, suggesting the company continues to face uneven uptake of powerful AI servers amid a shift to products based on new Nvidia Corp. chips. The company said Tuesday that revenue in the year ending in June 2026 will be at least $33 billion. In February, Super Micro offered a bullish long-term outlook because of demand for AI products, saying sales will be $40 billion — then almost twice as much as analysts' estimates for the current fiscal year. - Rivian (RIVN) forecast a larger adjusted loss this year than the electric vehicle maker expected previously, citing recent changes to stringent fuel economy rules in the US that threaten a key source of revenue. The adjusted loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization this year will be $2 billion to $2.25 billion, the company said Tuesday. It had previously forecast a loss of no more than $1.9 billion by that measure, while Wall Street analysts had expected about $1.8 billion on average. Shares slid in the aftermarket. - Axon (AXON) shares soared in trading today and hit a record intraday high after the maker of Tasers and other public safety equipment reported second-quarter earnings per share that topped expectations. Analysts also noted strong bookings for the company's AI plan.
