PLATUNE PROMO



Platune, the very talented design firm that RENNTECH tapped to produce some of the concept art that eventually became the GLK 350 Spec.R Hybrid Rally Racer being shown at the 2008 SEMA and LA Auto shows (among others) quietly posted this video clip of RENNTECH's GLK build - and didn't tell anyone!

It just goes to show: Platune is Very different from many other firms - they do great work, and let others sing their praises.

Great job, Platune!

NEW SL65 VIDEO FROM UP.TV



UP.TV just posted a new video of the SL65 Black Series AMG ultra high-performance coupe. The video itself looks very similar to what Mercedes itself sent to the press a few months ago (HERE), but at least it's in English!

We're eagerly awaiting the first one of these to arrive at RENNTECH - we expect big things from this car. Big things.

RENNTECH AT SEMA




RENNTECH's crew just got back from last week's SEMA show and a successful reveal of the new RENNTECH Mercedes GLK 350 Spec.R Hybrid rally-racer!

For those of you not "in the know", Mercedes-Benz selected RENNTECH to build a rally version of their new GLK 350 light SUV, and told us to find inspiration in the Pikes' Peak International Hillclimb Unlimited-class racers. With that directive in mind, RENNTECH delivered the "rally-red" hybrid racer you see above (posing with RENNTECH president, Hartmut Feyhl, and swimsuit model Andrea).

Powered by a 350 hp, RENNTECH-tuned version the 3.5 liter V6 found in Mercedes' Euro-market SLK sport, RENNTECH's hybrid rally-racer project is meant to show that motorsports can be made environmentally responsible without sacrificing "the show".

More specs and info. coming soon ...



RENNTECH was chosen by Mercedes-Benz to participate in a GLK "tuner build-off" to let the public decide which of the four tuners best fulfilled the requirements of their assigned "theme". Visit MBUSA.com/GLK to vote for RENNTECH's GLK.
