For this year's Baja 1000 off-road desert event, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has revealed the most recent photographs of their hydrogen fuel cell endurance racing vehicle. The NY-based company is famous for its Nürburgring 24 Hours victories with the SCG003 supercar and the SCG007 it raced in the new Le Mans Hypercar class at the Le Mans 24 Hours last year.

The company already produces the SCG Boot, a road-legal Baja 1000 endurance racer that won its category on its first appearance at the event in 2019. The price of the variant was $287,500. To date, no zero-emissions car has ever finished a Baja 1000 race, an annual endurance event contested on Mexico's Baja California peninsula's dirt tracks and highways.

The vehicle, which was first shown as a concept last year, is based on a quad-cab pickup truck chassis with the rear seats gone and replaced with a large hydrogen system. The company anticipates a range of more than 600 miles. The racing car development will also result in a road-legal version in the United States.

“We will make a US road-legal version. We are using all the engineering, testing, and development of this race vehicle to create the systems and knowledge around cryogenic hydrogen, fuel cells and our refueling system,” founder Jim Glickenhaus stated.

Glickenhaus described the Boot as a "cryogenic supercritical hydrogen fuel cell electric Baja 1000 racing car" despite the lack of technical specifics. In addition, Glickenhaus revealed that it would build its own fueling infrastructure for its fuel cell car.
