The SCG 007 LMH was born out of American film producer James Glickenhaus's interest in entering a sports prototype, following the introduction of the new Le Mans Hypercar regulations in June 2018. Glickenhaus had previously expressed interest in creating a sports prototype in 2014. The company announced their entrance into the FIA World Endurance Championship on July 27, 2018, officially presenting the car they would race with, called the SCG 007 LMH.
The SCG 007 LMH's chassis was developed in collaboration with Podium Advanced Technologies. Sauber Motorsport provided aerodynamics expertise and wind tunnel access, and Joest Racing helped with logistics and operational assistance for the team during competition. The car uses a bespoke 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 developed by French engine manufacturer Pipo Moteurs. Testing commenced at Vallelunga Circuit on February 2021, where the car also made its public debut, driven by Romain Dumas.
The SCG 007 LMH competed in the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship, but the team were unable to take part in the season-opening 2021 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps due to not completing homologation tests in time. The car officially made its debut at the next race in the 2021 8 Hours of Portimão, where it suffered significant setbacks. However, it showcased its potential at the following race in the 2021 6 Hours of Monza, finishing the race 4th overall and 3rd in class.
The 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship proved to be a more successful season for the SCG 007 LMH. The team secured their first overall podium finish with the SCG 007 LMH at the 2022 1000 Miles of Sebring, where the full season #708 car finished 3rd. Glickenhaus achieved their best pair of results with the SCG 007 LMH at the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans, where they finished the race 3rd and 4th overall, securing a Le Mans podium in the process.
The SCG 007 LMH became the first American sports car to secure an overall podium at Le Mans in 53 years since the Ford GT40 won in 1969.
Following the convergence of the Le Mans Hypercar and LMDh regulations for 2023, Glickenhaus displayed interest in racing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship with the SCG 007 LMH, but were blocked from doing so with IMSA confirming their production car mandate of 2,500 road cars per year.
In May 2025, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus teased a three-seater, road going version of the SCG 007 LMH on Instagram featuring photos of the car's development in the company's factory, called the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 007s. Only 24 units were built.
