Send to a Friend

Claus Ettensberger's Collection Previews have proven to be the most unique and innovative shows designed to unveil new aftermarket automotive product. This year's Vegas event was an epic night that left a lasting impression on all who attended. It took place during SEMA, the industry's largest trade show.

THE ICONIC MICHELIN BIBENDUM AND THE SULTRY SIRENS OF TI (TREASURE ISLAND)

"Design in motion" was the inspiration of this unparalleled production where the finest vehicle fashions were driven onto the catwalk. Guests could hear the roar of powerful engines, and see the fine automotive workmanship from every angle as twelve tuned vehicles were showcased, and projected via IMAG onto large screens.

For the fourth consecutive year, Michelin was the evening's co-host and technical partner providing high performance tires for runway vehicles. Also for the fourth time, Tommy Kendall, professional driver and SPEED Channel personality, acted as MC. STRUT, specializing in premium crafted chrome grills, joined the event as a proud sponsor.

This year, Claus Ettensberger welcomed BRABUS, the world's most acclaimed and largest Mercedes-Benz tuner to the stage, and to CEC's premiere line of tuning partners.

The evening was raised to a whole new theatrical level with the unforgettable "Sirens of TI". The beautiful Sirens brought their music, dance, excitement and seduction from Treasure Island to this year's Collection Preview.
