The IMPRINT RLS is going to put its hands all over the sound biz. The exterior is sleek, elegant and one-of-a-kind. By the way, this is only a set up for what is inside-the Alpine IMPRINT technology.<!--more-->

The IMPRINT RLS by birthright started off as a Mercedes Benz R500 and was slowly morphed into this futuristic concept. Life was blasted into the car by Alpine Advanced Application R&amp;D team, Steve Brown, Gary Bell, Brent Davison with the help of Alpine Canadance™ Glen Swackhamer and Rino Odorico.

Extreme modifications include gas and brake pedal relocation to allow the car to be driven from either front seat.The IMPRINT RLS also features unconventional door and seat combinations with a unique rotating assembly allowing suicide doors to swing into the vehicle with the seat attached. There are also motorized seats in the rear with a custom motorized amp rack. This rack houses 6 PDX amplifiers that power the entire sound system and stealthily rotate out of the back of the SUV.<img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Duttyman_photos/DUB/mercedes-benz-rls-by-alpine-9001.jpg" height="436" width="640" />

The body itself is a reflection of massive hours of fiberglass, duraglas, grinding, primering, sanding, etc. The end result is the sleek lines and shadows highlighted by intricate details. A custom-mixed Carrizma Candy Cherry Cola paint gives the car a "flossy" effect.

This machine is expected to make an appearance at <a href="http://http://www.dubmagazine.com/dubshow/miami.html">DUB's Custom Auto Show</a> in Miami, June 17th and StreetSeen.VI will be there to capture all the action.
