Description: Hartge Motorsport was a third party car tuning company specializing in German cars. Founded in 1971 in Merzig, Germany, the company moved to larger facilities in Beckingen in 1974. Hartge followed the classic hot rod rule based on power to weight ratio and was known for putting larger, more powerful factory engines in smaller cars. In 1985, Hartge was granted manufacturer's status in Germany, at which point all vehicles built from then on received a Hartge Motorsport VIN plate in place on the factory VIN plate. Despite decades of turning out high performance vehicles, the company folded in 2019 and deleted from the commercial register in Germany. Hartge tuned vehicles remain highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts to this very day
