About the Real Car:
The Mercedes-Benz W168 A-Class was introduced in 1997 as Mercedes’ first venture into the compact car segment. Known for its innovative “Sandwich Floor” design, the W168 featured a unique safety architecture that helped protect occupants in the event of a collision. Despite its small footprint, it offered impressive interior space and high safety standards—hallmarks of the Mercedes brand. The A140 variant came with a 1.4L petrol engine, offering a blend of efficiency and practicality, making it especially popular in urban environments.

A groundbreaking model in Mercedes-Benz history, the W168 set the stage for the modern premium compact car market.
