This car took part in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) in 1991, and contributed to Mercedes-Benz’ maker and team championship titles that year. Car number 8 is recreated by this radio control model assembly kit, with a polycarbonate body recreating the modified 4-door sedan form with front lip spoiler and overfenders. Separately molded, metal plated parts are used for the three-pointed star emblem on the bonnet, as well as the front grille. Stickers are included to decorate the body.

The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to give excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports. Silver color dish design wheels use semi-pneumatic slick tires.
