The Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003 (formerly known as P 33) is a limited edition sports car manufactured by American boutique car maker Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus LLC. It is the third car commissioned by James Glickenhaus, with Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina and P 4/5 Competizione being the first two. Ing. Paolo Garella was project head on all three cars. First announced as P 33 in 2013, SCG 003 was launched in 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show.
On July 18, 2017 Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus LLC's application to NHTSA to be a Low Volume Manufacturer was "deemed approved" enabling it to manufacture up to 325 turn key cars per year that do not need to adhere Federal crash test and airbag standards but do still need to comply with emissions and safety standards in the state that they are registered in.

Variants
SCG plans to produce three variants of SCG 003 covering competition racing, track days and road driving, all with the same modular chassis to allow interchangeable parts.
The variant which SCG competes with in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring is called the 003C, "Competizione" spec. It comes ready-to-race with a series-approved engine, a Hewland racing gearbox and race aero. At the other end of the spectrum will be the 003S, "Stradale", with more luxurious, "liveable" interior and street-friendly aerodynamic features. In-between will sit a trim called 003CS, "Competizione Stradale", a Competizione with only a minimum number of allowances made in order to make it road-legal. Stradale and Competizione would come standard with street tyres and a 4.4 L twin-turbo V8 to meet emissions regulations, for competition racing however non-street-legal items from the Competizione trim could be swapped in thanks to the modular nature of the car.
