After over seven years of anticipation, the road-legal Glickenhaus 004 is finally entering production. Two variants of this American-made supercar, the 004S and 004CS, are now available for order through HK Motorcars, making the dream of owning this purist-friendly machine a reality.
The Glickenhaus 004 pays homage to the golden era of supercars, drawing inspiration from icons like the McLaren F1. Its carbon-fiber body features sleek curves and a unique three-seat cockpit design, with the driver positioned centrally. Under the hood, a supercharged V8 engine delivers a potent 650 horsepower, channeled to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This configuration is a rarity in modern supercars, making the 004 a standout choice for driving enthusiasts.
The 004S is designed for those who crave performance without sacrificing everyday usability. It boasts features like climate control, a backup camera, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and even a six-way adjustable rear seat. Notably, it’s also the first supercar to pass an NHTSA crash test without airbags, highlighting Glickenhaus’s innovative approach to safety.
For those seeking track-ready performance, the 004CS offers a more aggressive setup. Enhanced aerodynamics, larger brakes, center-lock wheels, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires make it the ultimate option for hardcore enthusiasts. A front suspension lift system and additional aero elements like a rear hood scoop and diffuser further amplify its racing credentials.
With prices starting at $450,000, both versions are now open for orders at HK Motorcars in Mount Kisco, New York. Slots are limited, with only a handful currently available, making this a rare opportunity for collectors to own a modern classic that blends retro charm with cutting-edge engineering.
This is a supercar built for purists—offering raw, analog driving thrills in a world increasingly dominated by automation.
