Barracuda meets HS Motorsport – Project X on the lowered Mercedes GLS

With the Project X, Barracuda Racing Wheels has expanded its “Ultralight” wheel
series, which are always particularly light thanks to production using the innovative
flow forming process, by a particularly spectacular rim: With its lush dimensions, the
Projext X is explicitly for large, heavy vehicles such as luxury sedans or SUVs. Hardly
any model corresponds to this scheme better than the Mercedes-Benz GLS. A copy
of its X166 series has now been equipped with a Project X wheel set in cooperation
with HS Motorsport.
On the axles of the huge all-wheel drive, the black brushed finish wheels with
295/30R22 tires are weighing just 16 kilograms in spite of their dimensions of 10×22
inches. Thanks to its extraordinary design including unique X-spokes including
brushed surfaces, the Project X gives the GLS a significantly sportier look. This is
underlined by the subtle lowering, which HS Motorsport managed by means of an
electronic module.
