The German racer Kurt Lotterschmid in the late 60s and early 70s, performed on cars of his design, then he focused on tuning serial vehicles. Lotterschmid made a name for himself in the 80s by fine-tuning Mercedes - installing turbines and body kits of his production.
The final recognition came to Lotec in 1990, when Mercedes turned to an independent tuner to help build an exclusive supercar for an Arab sheik.
The car turned out to be remarkably harmonious and fast - the Mercedes style was guessed in a laconic appearance, and in maximum speed Lotec C1000, which developed 374 km / h, was second only to the record holder of that time - McLaren F1.
