Kleemann GTK Makes Show Debut

If you look out for a new look.Kleemann, the Danish tuning house well-known for enhancing Mercedes cars, has been working the past 3-years on their concept car. Last October, Kleemann unveiled the 1st images and specification of the GTK concept car.

GTK stands for Gran Turismo Kleemann, which converts into a front engined, rear wheel driven car. It is based on the Mercedes SLK. The GTK is powered by SLK AMG Engine developing 540 horsepower and torque of 700 Nm. Its top speed will be 300kmph and 0-100 kmph time of nearly 3.7 sec.

Designers, Christian Brandt and Jesper Hermann have produced a new design consultancy and Kleemann will effort fully with this new industry for future designs.

We actually see it as a great advantage that we are now working with an external design consultancy instead of employing an in-house designer. Jesper and Christian’s vast experience on KLEEMANN design and products is a huge advantage to us, and the fact that they will now also work on projects for other manufactures will, I think, give them a lot of experience and knowledge which will benefit KLEEMANN long term. An example of a similar cooperation is the lifelong relation between Ferrari and Pininfarina.
