RENNTech is known for tweaking Mercedes’ best into fire-breathing bundles of badass, and they’re preparing a thing interesting for this year’s SEMA show. The RENNTech Mercedes-Benz GLK Rally Racer is said to exist inspired by runners in the annual Pikes Peak climb and marks RENNTech’s first predatory incursion into modding hybrids. We’ll just have to see what that mode of the same kind with far as capabilities go when they drop details to match these teaser images. If we were forced to like a compact luxury SUV, the GLK would probably take the nod, so we’re actually intrigued by dint of. the kind of RENNTech is cooking up.
