Black Smoke – S123 Turbo Diesel Tribute

Over 10 years ago Team Black Smoke OM606 engined diesel Mercedes-Benz S123 made history in the drifting scene and it was decided to make a tribute to the iconic car once again but now with a modern CDI turbo diesel engine. The old Merc has gotten a new 3D designed fully carbon fiber widebody look, but with retro-style livery. This project represents Black Smokes hard work and it is something extra for the fans that have been asking for the return of the Legend.

Please note that this project is not intended for competitive use. It is made for show driving only.
