Kraft Haus Technik (Commonly shortened as “KHT”) is a small German company based just outside Hamburg. Founded in 1955 as an amateur racing team, KHT has grown over the years into one of the still small, but quite successful tuner companies. The company’s vehicles range from modified vehicles and white body builds on existing platforms to small scale production of car built both for racing purposes and street uses. KHT does not pursue the laurels of in-house aftermarket companies like AMG, but rather keeps company to the smallscale car manufacturers like RUF and Alpina. Despite the best efforts to be a racing team KHT has spent a lot more time building road legal cars and tuning kits. First racing experience of a KHT vehicle is recoreded in 1966, 11 years after the company was founded. These days KHT is running racing division that consists of a few key people, and utilizes factory mechanics and engineers for their building and maintenance purposes.
