The Le Mans legend Glickenhaus 007S has officially gone street legal, marking a hypercar release that blends motorsport aggression with daily usability.
Built by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, the Glickenhaus 007S transforms an elite race car into a luxury road vehicle.
This street legal hypercar delivers over 1,000HP, a central seating layout, and creature comforts like air conditioning and a front-lift system.
It is not just a car, it’s a moment in automotive history.

The Glickenhaus 007S began life as a Le Mans legend on the track, making headlines as the first American privateer to podium at Le Mans in over 50 years.
That same DNA is now visible in this hypercar release. It retains its carbon monocoque chassis, aerodynamic design, and race-bred twin-turbocharged V8 engine.
The street legal transformation includes everything from road-spec lighting to fully functional seatbelts and emissions compliance.
At this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, it stunned crowds during the Sunday Parade. It was an appearance that confirmed its place among the boldest road-going supercars of the decade.
Founder Jim Glickenhaus described the 007S as a tribute to privateer spirit, referencing historical figures like Carroll Shelby and Count Volpi as inspiration.
His goal was clear: to create a Le Mans legend that could exist beyond the racetrack as a practical, legal, and thrilling hypercar release.
The Glickenhaus 007S seats three passengers, with the driver positioned centrally, as in the McLaren F1, emphasizing balance and visibility.
From comfort to compliance, every detail has been tuned for real-world usability without sacrificing its raw racing roots.
With only 24 examples planned, this hypercar release is among the most limited street legal offerings ever built.
The Glickenhaus 007S embodies a philosophy rarely seen in the modern era, one where passion, performance, and legality coexist.
For those lucky enough to secure one, it’s not just about owning a hypercar.
It’s about owning a Le Mans legend made real.
