Mercedes-Benz Rock Crawler?


Sept. 18 - Exotic and muscle car restoration specialist Legendary Motor Cars is moodifying a Mercedes-Benz GLK350 luxury SUV for the SEMA Show, which will be held in early November.

Legendary's design includes an innovative winching system to propel skate and wakeboarders up to speed and actually "grind" down the vehicle’s specially integrated side rails. It will be one of four specially modified GLK350 SUVs on display at the show.

The Urban Whip, from Florida-based Boulevard Customs, is going to turn heads with a wide body styling kit, plus massive 26-inch wheels and tires. The RENNTech Rally Racer is inspired by the unlimited-class rally cars at the storied Pikes Peak Hillclimb, the GLK concept represents the Mercedes-Benz performance specialist's first hybrid powertrain project.

The BRABUS Widestar is developed by Mercedes-Benz tuning experts Brabus of Bottrop, Germany. This striking wide-track "designer suit" for the GLK includes flowing front and rear wheel arch flares and redesigned front and rear bumpers complemented with exclusive BRABUS wheels and an interior to match.

The four GLK-Class vehicles will be displayed at the SEMA show, taking place November 4-7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. During the exhibition, attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite design via online and mobile voting. The four vehicles will then be displayed at the Los Angeles Auto Show providing showgoers with another opportunity to cast their vote.
