Man, I forgot all about them. I remember seeing their stuff for sale in BavAuto catalogs growing up.

The son continued the company just under a different name, I think rolfhartge. It’s all just visual carbon stuff and grills and bumpers and wheels tho, no actual performance stuff.

I’ve never really seen much on Hartge though tbh

Someone needs to also figure out what happened to the Belgium aftermarket headlight and taillight company: Morette.

The looks were polarizing but the intentions were noble: basically upgrade plastic-lens units to individualized lights and giving cars projector headlights that the factory didn’t offer. Less aerodynamic but hopefully the trade-off was improved visibility at night. There were and still are popular with certain Subaru and WRC crowds. They’re impossible to contact, no official F acebook group ( except a customer-created one showing proof of the poor build quality of the headlights he received ), and their website is full of broken links .

It all started when they built a twin-turbo, AWD Renault...

I have learned that Germans like to pronounce their Es at the ends of words very literally.

Nordschliefe is sort of like nord-sh-lifa or nord-sh-lifeh

Zugspitze is zug-spits-a

So maybe like...hart-geh
