A Sneak Peek into A$AP Rocky’s ‘Need for Speed’ Mercedes-Benz 190E in Real Life

Additional pictures of A$AP Rocky’s actual customized Mercedes-Benz 190E have surfaced following the reveal of the in-game digital version for Need for Speed Unbound earlier this month. Unbound has hired AWGE to serve as a creative consultant, and gamers will be able to race Rocky in-game for the hero car.

The 190E saloon, which takes design cues from the DTM, has mid-split paintwork reminiscent of Scarface, AWGE emblems on the doors, and the phrases “Always $trive and Prosper” and “If Not Now Then When” printed on them. Extra features include X-shaped headlamps, a grille made of shiny gold, antennae motifs that display TESTING warnings, an expanded front splitter that has green underglow lighting, and wheels with deep-dish BBS designs at the back.

“There is a lot of old-fashioned craftsmanship evident; each panel has been adjusted, and all four arches have been tubbed. “The automobile lifestyle is all about the wonderful friendships forged along the way,” writes Ryan Steward of Speedhunters. “Compiling something so faithful to a game render requires a team that is prepared to surpass any reasonable level of detail.”

A better look at the virtual version of the vehicle is this. Additional details will be published in an article by Speedhunters in the coming weeks.
