Mercedes-Benz ultimately finished as the runner-up in the 2012 DTM season. For a long time, it looked as though Gary Paffett might clinch the title for the brand with the star, but he was overtaken in the final race of the season by BMW driver Bruno Spengler. hasCarrera
opted for the versions based on David Coulthard and Jamie Green. Both are visually striking, but neither driver played a role in the title race. Another thing both drivers have in common is that they are no longer racing for Mercedes this season. While fan favorite David Coulthard has retired from active racing, Jamie Green moved to rival Audi in Ingolstadt.
The Models:
The dimensions of both models are nearly identical to those of the BMW M3 DTM, which is no surprise given the very strict regulations. There are differences in weight—while the BMW M3 DTM was already relatively heavy, the Mercedes adds a few more grams on top of that. It’s worth noting that the yellow version is slightly lighter than the chrome one. So if you’re looking for the best possible performance, you’re better off with the Coulthard cargreifen.Auch . In terms of design, the Mercedes is very similar to the previously released BMW, so I won’t go into further detail here.
Test Drive:
Here, the extra weight has a negative effect; compared to the BMW, the Mercedes feels a bit sluggish. The desired setup can be adjusted using the suspension magnets: with all magnets engaged, it’s relatively fast, but with virtually no limit in the corners. Without the rear solenoid, the limit increases, though the Mercedes is still generally a tad slower than the BMW.
Conclusion:
Visually, this car is very impressive and at least on par with the BMW M3 DTM. However, its driving performance doesn’t quite live up to what its looks promise; the Mercedes is simply a bit too heavy for that.
