The anticipation kicked into high gear in early October, when Need for Speed tantalizingly previewed an in-game rendition of the Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II, complete with an 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 appearance by A$AP Rocky. This virtual vehicle mirrors its real-life counterpart, sporting Testing front wheels, BBS rear wheels, AWGE branding, and a customized A$AP license plate that adds a personal touch. However, the excitement doesn’t stop within the game, as the real Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II commands attention with its fierce design.
Captured through the lens of photographer Mark Riccioni, the vehicle showcases a striking aesthetic split – half white, half black – amplified by a prominent front splitter, vibrant green underglow lights, a metallic gold grille, X-taped headlights, and signature AWGE branding. The same Testing and BBS wheels featured in the game further enhance its allure.
Even the passenger doors carry powerful mottos, displaying slogans like “If Not Now Then When” and “Always $trive and Prosper.” This personalized touch adds an extra layer of meaning to the already captivating ride.
Beneath the hood of the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II resides a 2.5-liter inline-four AMG PowerPack engine, boasting 232 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The sheer power and performance of this machine are matched by few, elevating it to a league of its own.
While A$AP Rocky boasts an enviable collection of high-end vehicles, including a Ferrari 488 GTB, Lamborghini Aventador, Huracan, Urus, and more, it’s the Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II that truly stands out for its prowess. This remarkable collaboration between a celebrated artist and a legendary car model has left an indelible mark in both the gaming and automotive worlds, exemplifying power, style, and innovation.
