This update contains (we presume) one of the most legendary classic racing cars around, a car which was in the conversation among motoring enthusiasts last month as the third pending car of the next hypercar holy trinity after Ferrari unveiled the F80 and McLaren the W1, and one of the most-requested vehicles in our Suggestions forum.

Seems like a nice, cool set to me. But then again...

I don't even know what the Mission X is. Or what a W1 is. Only saw a pic of the F80 and meh. Also never heard of this Mercedes thing til now.

Do I get a cookie? :sly: Bring on the 80s and 90s cheap beaters!

Bought a Pro for GT8

Edit: You know.. one could argue I've never heard of the mercedes because it wasn't in a GT game (I'm assuming) lol

Yay, update incoming! :D

I'm very happy with this lineup, but to me the stars of the show will be the iconic Escort (obviously...) and that gorgeous Mercedes race car from the 50's... I really like these GP racecars back from a time when it was all about the driver and its machine, no electronic shenanigans like ABS or traction control... it's as analogical as it gets.
Back then, driving those cars would separate the men from the boys!

Must be an absolute blast to drive!!
 
A quick numbers race about the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196. If Tthe car is 20,000,000 Cr., you’d need 400,000,000 Cr. To replicate the twenty cars on a 1954 Formula One grid. If players can swing that in the next couple weeks while cars are on sale, the races that can be replicated that year are:

  • Grand Prix Belgium/Spa-Francorchamps(36 Laps)
  • Grand Prix Germany/Nurburgring(22 Laps)
  • Grand Prix Italy/Monza(80 Laps)

Happy collecting!
 


The sweet symphony of the W196’s straight-eight.

Fangio’s W196R sold ten years ago for $29.6 million.

Also, this W196 Streamliner, driven by Fangio and Moss is going to be auctioned soon and is estimated to sell for $70 million.

I think it’s safe to say the car will cost 20 million credits. The W196 is motorsport and F1 royalty.
