Following the exciting reveal of the digital twin in Need for Speed Unbound, images showcasing A$AP Rocky’s unique, real-world custom Mercedes-Benz 190E have emerged, generating significant buzz among car enthusiasts and fans alike. Earlier glimpses hinted at the in-game replica, but now, the full glory of Rocky’s bespoke Mercedes-Benz is unveiled. AWGE, serving as creative consultants for Unbound, has ensured players not only see but can virtually compete for this iconic vehicle, making it a coveted hero car within the game.
This striking Mercedes-Benz 190E draws inspiration from the iconic DTM racing series, instantly recognizable with its eye-catching, Scarface-esque split paintwork. The vehicle proudly displays all-over AWGE branding, further emphasized by the powerful slogans “Always $trive and Prosper” and “If Not Now Then When” emblazoned on both driver and passenger doors. These details seamlessly blend automotive aesthetics with A$AP Rocky’s signature style.
Beyond the paint scheme and branding, the custom Mercedes-Benz 190E boasts meticulously crafted details. X-taped headlights add a touch of retro motorsport aggression, while a metallic gold grille provides a luxurious contrast. TESTING warning motifs adorn the antennae, injecting a playful yet edgy element. An extended front splitter, illuminated with green underglow lights, enhances the car’s stance and visual impact. Completing the aggressive look are deep-dish BBS rear wheels, a hallmark of classic tuner culture.
Ryan Stewart from Speedhunters, a key figure involved in the build, highlights the dedication poured into the project. “Every panel is altered, all four arches are tubbed and there’s some wonderful, old-school craftsmanship in it,” he noted. Stewart further emphasized the collaborative spirit, adding, “Some great friendships have been forged along the way too, which is what car life is all about.” This collaborative effort aimed for unparalleled accuracy, bridging the gap between the real-world vehicle and its digital representation in Need for Speed Unbound. The meticulous attention to detail ensures the in-game version is a faithful homage to A$AP Rocky’s unique Mercedes-Benz.
For a closer inspection of the digital rendition, fans can explore the in-game version here. Enthusiasts eagerly await further details and an in-depth feature expected from Speedhunters in the near future, promising more insights into this exceptional ASAP Rocky Mercedes-Benz 190E and its journey from concept to reality and the digital world of Need for Speed Unbound.
