Inspired by the insane rally cars that participate at the annual Pikes Peak Hillclimb, RENNTech built a racing concept of Mercedes-Benz’s brand-new GLK compact SUV. We don’t know many details about the SEMA show prototype other than it will feature an aggressively styled bodykit with an xtra-large roof spoiler and that it will be equipped with a hybrid powertrain that is supposed to enhance acceleration off the line and out of the corners – or at least that’s what the dedicated Mercedes-Benz tuner supports.RELATED STORIES

Spied : BMW X6 Hybrid
The newer, greener X6 seems to be almost production ready and my prediction is that we will be seeing this car within the next six months. The BMW X6 Hybrid will utilize the previously outlined dual mode ActiveHybridsystem, developed together GM and Daimler, which has discrete modes for high-torque, low speed driving as well as for high-speed cruises.
