Four of the world’s best
high-performance auto tuners competed for the most exclusive and technologically
advanced modification of the new 2010 GLK-Class, and RENNtech won a glorious
victory. Although the RENNtech Rally Racer went in this competition as the
odds-on favorite, expectations ran high and other competitors were worth
mentioning; however, the superior GLK “PikesPeak” left everyone
else in the rain, for RENNtech and Platune understood how to synthesize
outstanding technology and unique design. Originally, Platune Technology
received the challenging task from RENNtech USA in order to innovate and
enrich the GLK project; and soon, the two began to collect ideas. Hartmut
Feyhl, CEO of RENNtech, handed over all responsibility to the exterior and
interior design to Platune Technology, while the highly valued RENNtech company
provided technological know-how at the highest level of sophistication. The
result is stunning; the GLK “PikesPeak” Racer is a fast, exciting
hybrid rally racer that successfully combines powerful and qualitative technology
with inspiring and unique designs. And the voters at the 2008 SEMA Show in
Las Vegas couldn’t agree more. Among other great tuner companies, RENNtech
stood out and convinced the voters with its superior rally racer.
However, RENNtech’s and Platune’s
dedication for the revolutionary driving experience does not stop with this
project. Quite the contrary, the victory ignited even greater motivation
to capture the market with their extraordinary combination of luxury and
technology. Platune Technology is proud to announce that it will continue
to collaborate with RENNtech in the near future in order to meet the exclusive
needs of the customer. In fact, RENNtech and Platune are currently working
on new striking projects for2009, as they plan on a limited version of the
RENNtech Platune SLR with 722 PS and a special race version of the RENNtech
Platune c63 with 620 PS.
