ETK K-Series

✨Joke✨

 

He can't take jokes so you have to put /j everytime you make an joke or else he's taking that seriously

 

I've seen plenty of idiots who had no clue posting stuff like that and being dead serious so yes, This is true.

 

Seems like your brain can only understand outdated reddit memes isn't it

 

So, according to the descriptions on the documentation site for the 800 Series and I-Series, Knallhart is a tuning company (like Brabus, Koenig, and Hartge, among others). I was under the impression for many years that the Knallhart I-Series (and 800 Series) were just named that for some reason, but it does make sense that they'd be pro-tuner configs.

Excerpt from the 800 Series description:

and I-Series:

So, why didn't the K-Series receive a Knallhart configuration in its shared refresh with the 800-Series? The vehicle only has 17 configurations right now (which is well below the 800 (29) and I-Series (34)), with the vast majority being factory configurations. One more tuner config wouldn't have been that much more, and if it had used a straight-six (like the 800 and I-Series Knallharts do), that would've added an interesting dynamic with the V8-powered Rennspecht.

I'm not mad about this, I'm just confused. I can understand the I-Series lacking a Rennspecht model, since it hasn't been updated much over the years (unless the Street Tuned is meant to be an older Rennspecht, similar to the Alpina C1 2.3), but I don't get why Knallhart wouldn't tune the K-Series if it's already doing the 800.

 

My theory is tradition, that Knallhart ONLY tunes sedans. Plus “Knallhart Just Made The World’s Fastest Super-Sedan” sounds like a way better headline to spend R&D on than “Knallhart Made An Even Faster Kc6”.

 

That would make sense - there isn't a Knallhart wagon 800, for instance. It's also likely easier to sell a high-powered sedan than a high-powered coupe.

Still, I wouldn't mind seeing a pro-tuned 6-cylinder K-Series or 800 wagon - perhaps from another tuning company.
