I don't see it as particularly distasteful in most cases, including this one. Jim even acknowledges (in the merest sense possible!) that the 004/CS isn't a direct competitor to the 296.

To take the manufacturers you mentioned, McLaren first made its name by pitting itself against Ferrari specifically, and making lots of noise about it's favourable figures, even though they were already well-known for the F1 (and their exploits in F1). Now that they're established as a major player in the performance road car market, they don't have to do it. Porsche had no reason to refer to the P1 or LaFerrari with its 918 because of its decades of brand recognition. Glickenhaus doesn't have that yet.



Welcome to marketing. Accentuate the positives, downplay the negatives. Outside of extreme examples, whether a person likes the strategy or not is irrelevant. It's about getting more people to pay attention, to hopefully get more people to buy.
That's a really low effort marketing a smart marketing strategy was the one that nissan used for nissan gt-r back in late '00 at example, but a CEO speaking great of his manufactured car is quite predictable.
I know that magnitude of ferrari brand can't be compared with anything else, but porsche maybe, but as said I think that a brand should build up his identity and prestige on his own legs rather than use this kind of cheap comparison tricks... considering also that mere horsespower is last thing that ferrari enjoyers and owners are looking at.

It's not like taking swipes at the new Ferrari is the entire Glickenhaus marketing strategy. It's one post, having a bit of fun.

We were sold out thru 2022.
We're now about sold out thru 2023.
We're now expanding our productive capacity to meet demand which we see at about 300 vehicles per year.
At that point our EBIDTA will be about 60mm per year.
Things could be worse.
Read what I wrote and Dan's review.
I was comparing our old school, 6SP manual with a plug in hybrid.
Ferrari is moving towards plug in hybrids.
We're not.
Our sister company Glickenhaus Zero is developing Hydrogen Fuel Cell pickup trucks.
When ours is finished I'll compare it to BEV Pickup trucks.
Ours will then try to become the first zero emission vehicle to
finish The Baja 1000.
Elon has called HFC's "fool cells".
He also thinks his Cybertruck will be great on The Baja.
We've challenged him to bring it when our HFC Pickup races
there.
Think he'll show up?
Should any of you come to Spa or The Ring when we're racing please say hello.

In team news (but not hypercar) Jim plans to run 2 of his 004 GT3 cars in the WEC in 2024. Upgrading the cars this year for final FIA homologation.

It's in German and I don't have Chrome. Maybe you can offer a short explanation of what it says?

Glickenhaus doesn't want to race in IMSA, or something like that?

if I remember correctly IMSA doesn't recognize glickenhaus as manufacturer because doesn't reach the min. number of road cars production.

Interesting to see how they (Glickenhaus) are gonna position the proposed entry/entries as the new for 2024 GT3 class is supposed to be Am only - no Pro and no direct manufacturers involvement.

Well, IMSA don't think he's a 'real' manufacturer anyway......

Our factory racing will remain Baja 1000, N24 and WEC/Le Mans.
We will sell customer Race Boots/008's/GT3's/LMH's as well as offer factory support as desired.
Our factory racing sells our road vehicles and helps us develop our race cars for the road.

The first of the 007's have arrived in Germany to begin their summer European tour. Joest will be out testing the car at Hockenheim this week in preparation for Spa. Dumas, Pla, and Derani will be racing at Spa, no word on who is doing the testing.
