KLEEMANN D-SCK Concept

Kleeman D-SCK Concept Revealed - More Euro Flavored Vaporware
Specialist Mercedes-Benz tuners Kleemann has released pictures of the D-SCK concept car based on the Kleemann GTK which in itself it based on the baby Mercedes roadster SLK-class.

Apparently, the Danish Mercedes Benz tuning haus Kleeman can't get enough of making up supercars. We told you all about the Kleeman GTK a couple of months ago and we haven't seen hide nor halfshaft of the car, but that doesn't mean they can't drop the sheet on the Kleeman D-SCK concept. Designed as the rear engined sister car to the GTK, the D-SCK was styled by student Jesper Hermann and revealed at the Danish Auto Show last week. Revealed as in digital images shown, not sheet metal. Why do these cars give us the feeling there are Nigerian bankers seated on Kleemans executive board? (By Ben Wojdyla)

The Danish tuners at Kleemann have already shown us how they've reinterpreted the Mercedes-Benz SLK in the form of the Kleemann GTK. And while the pseudo-exotic's tuned SLK 55 AMG engine (540 hp and 516 lb.-ft.), eight-piston brakes and carbon fiber panels do their best to up the performance quotient, the restyled sheet metal lost the concept a few cool points.

Now, Christian Brandt, the designer behind the GTK, has released images of the D-SCK Concept that takes several of the cues shown on their first bespoke concept and ported them over to create a more sleek, mid-engine ride. There's no word on what will be powering the imaginary supercar, but with Kleemann's ties to M-B, something with eight cylinders and forced induction isn't out of the question. However, there's a fair amount of doubt that the D-SCK will ever see the light of day. (by Damon Lavrinc)
