This 650-hp off-road SUV is part replica, part desert racer, part luxury SUV, and entirely bonkers.
As a measure of the Glickenhaus Boot's unique appeal, consider that the only vehicle that is remotely similar is a bat-guano-crazy Lamborghini off-roader from the 1980s. Read the full story here.
Powered by a crate-engine version of the Chevy Camaro ZL1's 650-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8, the Glickenhaus Boot is a mighty dirt thrower.
Massive 39.0-inch-tall BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tires and 19.0 inches of suspension travel should prove sufficient to traverse the gravel driveway at your country house.
We can't remember the last time we drove a vehicle with a four-speed automatic transmission. Turns out four gears are entirely sufficient for the Boot.
Looking like a cross between a giant four-eyed scarab, a military vehicle, and a racing buggy, the Boot will be mistaken for nothing else on the road or off the road.
Front bodywork is highly overrated. The Boot does not need such frivolities.
Glickenhaus eventually will produce a four-door version of the Boot with a longer wheelbase.
The Boot's massive roof-mounted scoop routes cooling air to the radiator, which is mounted between the passenger cabin and the engine.
Off the beaten path, Boot passengers float (mostly serenely) over whoops and washes while the wheels pump up and down furiously.
A desert racer at heart, the Boot will require a little more taming to do duty as a comfy on-road SUV. The addition of side windows will certainly help.
It's difficult for us to express exactly how much we like the look of the Boot's exhaust system. Suffice it to say, we like it a lot.
