Explaining the process of customization for the American rapper’s custom Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II, Ryan Stewart, a member of Speedhunters, a community of photographers and petrolheads, said :

“The @needforspeed hero car is very very real. It’s been an insane thrill and challenge to bring @asaprocky’s digital car to life, alongside a 10/10 team.

“We’ve kept super quiet about this project but now we can show you the result. It’s a fully functional, driving, larger than life character.

“Every panel is altered, all four arches are tubbed and there’s some wonderful, old-school craftsmanship in it. Some great friendships have been forged along the way too, which is what car life is all about.

“We’re going to detail every aspect of the build and those involved on @thespeedhunters very soon, but until then, let me know what you think!

“Crazy to think we made it work as a functioning vehicle too. The fact that you can drive this car comfortably on the street bends my mind, it even sounds cool.”
