SEMA Preview: Mercedes-Benz GLK 350

Mercedes-Benz has twisted 4 of its new GLK compact SUVs over to after market tuners to craft one-off custom cars.

The RENNtech Rally Racer has been stimulated by the Pikes Peak hill climb rally cars, but has an extra trick: a hybrid power train, with the electric motor adding up further backing for quicker acceleration off the line.

Merc tuner Brabus has constructed the Widestar, with wide-track body kit, extensive wheel arches, new bumpers, special Brabus wheels and customized inside.

Boulevard Customs has severed off the roof of its GLK, equipped a wide-body kit and 26″ wheels, made over the interior and matched a bespoke sound system. The outcome, called Urban Whip, is rather significant of the customized Suzuki Vitaras accepted in the UK in the 1980s.
