This division serves clients in high performance, commercial trucking, agriculture, powersports, and emerging mobility sectors.
One of the company's first products was the Intrepid RM-1 GTP car, built in 1991.
Pratt Miller developed a road-going tuned version of the Chevrolet Corvette C6 named C6RS. The C6RS was powered by a 500 cubic inch LS-based engine developed and built by Katech Inc.
