You don’t need a 6.2-litre V8 and lots of downforce to manage a run to the supermarket, but it certainly helps. Especially if you suddenly decide, ‘I fancy a crack at Eau Rouge, off to Belgium we go!’

If you want a car capable of both, you want this: the new Glickenhaus 007s, a road-going version of the car that scored pole positions at both Monza and Spa – Proper Tracks – as well as finishing on the podium at Sebring and a little place called ‘Le Mans’.

“This is not just a road-going replica,” said TG hero Jim Glickenhaus, the man whose name adorns this butterfly-doored monster. The film producer, car collector and stone-cold racing nut is adamant his newest creation isn’t just a facsimile of the racing car.

It’s been tested so that it “glides effortlessly through urban traffic and summer heat”, despite featuring motorsport-spec double wishbone front/pushrod rear suspension, adjustable anti-roll bars and a dry-sumped 6.2-litre V8.

A V8 that’ll happily send 1,000bhp and 737lb ft to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automated manual gearbox.

But while the aero is “Le Mans Hypercar inspired”, the wheels centre-locking forged aluminium items and the weight a racecar lithe 1,550kg, it’s… easy to get in and out of thanks to hydraulically actuated doors. It can handle speed bumps because there’s a nose lift. And it’s got a “powerful” air conditioning system.

Jim tells us setting the thing up for track use is as simple as: use the onboard air jacks to raise it, swap out the road wheels for slicks, adjust the adaptive damper settings, ride height, aero configuration and engine map, deploy copious right foot and hold on tight. We may have added that last bit.

Largely because “the result is a significant performance transformation: increased downforce allows the 007s to operate at the limits of grip on racing slicks”. When you’re done, changing it back is the work of ‘minutes’.

“The 007s isn’t just about arriving at the circuit and taping over the headlights,” said Glickenhaus, “it’s about redefining the track-day experience: more accessible, more exhilarating, and more rewarding.” Will also redefine your run-to-the-supermarket experience, one suspects.
