2012 Nissan Rogue SV FWD: RideLust Review
While admittedly not as offensive as the Urban Whip GLK tuned for Mercedes by Boulevard Customs, RENNTech’s Pikes Peak GLK Hybrid still appears to have exercised a questionable amount of taste in regards to the aftermarket accessories. Apparently abandoning the novel concept of “tastefully understated” design, the RENNTech Pikes Peak GLK also features a rear spoiler with approximately the same wingspan as a mature osprey. Under the hood, however, RENNTech seems to have done it right, outfitting the Pikes Peak GLK Hybrid with a supercharged V6 capable of producing an impressive 375 horsepower and 320 pounds-feet of torque.

Just a quick comment: none of the Mercedes tuners “chose” their themes – BLVD was told to build an “urban whip”, RENNtech a “rally racer”, Brabus an “autobahn stormer”, and Legendary a “rock crawler” (don’t get me started)
Of the 4 – everyone but Brabus delivered a theme vehicle. Brabus just did exactly what they always do. Nice job – but totally missed the point.
