There were many games that licensed M-Bs from 2003 to 2005, but not every game that had licensed cars had licensed M-Bs, likely because at the time, Daimler was probably selective on who could license their products, which would explain why mainly the major titles, like PGR, Gran Tursimo, Forza, Midnight Club, and Need For Speed had licensed M-Bs, but smaller studio titles didn't. In fact, I don't think we'd see a 'smaller' studio title get licensed production M-Bs until Test Drive Unlimited. so its like ruf as a Porsche alternative.

Brabus' modifications to the W168 were rather minimal on the outside, as seen in this image that has all of the parts added to a stock W168 to make it a Brabus... www.benzworld.org/attachments/pic_a6-jpg.209486/ ...the wheels and bumpers are the only cosmetic changes on the outside of a Brabus W168, and this was from before Brabus actually replaced the three-pointed star with their own 'B' emblems. Why all Mercedes in this game are modified versions? and not a normal version like whatever another normal car in the street. There is no way to prove that it is a Brabus. In The Getaway the Brabus A-Klasse looks modified and fast, this 'Brabus' is so slow in the game and that not make sense if is a Brabus. -- Last edit: 2020-06-20 06:37:10
