Take a First Look at A$AP Rocky’s Real-Life ‘Need for Speed’ Mercedes-Benz 190E

New pictures of A$AP Rocky’s real-life customized Mercedes-Benz 190E have surfaced following the reveal of the in-game digital version for Need for Speed Unbound earlier this month. Unbound will give gamers the chance to compete with Rocky in-game for the hero automobile after hiring AWGE as a creative consultant.

The DTM-inspired 190E saloon has mid-split paintwork that evokes Scarface, AWGE insignia, and the printed phrases “Always $trive and Prosper” and “If Not Now Then When” on the driver and passenger doors. Additional features include deep-dish BBS rear wheels, X-taped headlights, a metallic gold grille, TESTING warning motifs on the antennae, an expanded front splitter with green underglow lighting, and X-taped headlights.

 

All four arches have been tubbed, and there is a lot of traditional craftsmanship visible. Each panel has been modified. The automotive lifestyle is all about making beautiful friendships along the way, according to Speedhunters contributor Ryan Steward. “To create something that is so incredibly accurate to a game render, it takes a team willing to go above and beyond any sane level of detail.”

Here’s a closer look at the automobile as it appears in-game. Speedhunters will release an article with further details in the coming weeks.
