OK, now you wonder why in earth i'm suggesting a W123 and someone maybe remember that it already exist a suggestion of W123, but it was of an 200 from late the 70's.
As answer to the question why I say it's beacuse i like the 280E (W123) and beacuse I was on my way to bay an 280E from 1983 but with leather interior and the AMG front spoiler and aluminum rims, but someone was faster than me to buy it... So now I'm suggesting it instead and hope it comes to the GT-series instead ...

Powertrain: 2746 cc , Inline-6 , DOHC , Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection , 185 hp / 5800 rpm , 240 Nm / 4500 rpm , 5-speed manual

Dimensions: Length 4725 mm , Width 1786 mm , Height 1438 mm , Weight 1475 kg

Performance: Top speed 200 km/h , 0-100 km/h 8,5 sec

Information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W123

Here's an example how a bodykit for an in game car would look like:

Other suggestions of Mercedes-Benz
500K Roadster '36 , 190SL '57 , 300SE (W112) '61 , 300SEL 6.3 '71 , 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth '88
 
...My high school dormitory teacher used to own a similar car. The only difference was the paint - his was a fetching beige/brown (depending on the light source.)

I remember it being a thirsty MOFO, though. Voted because of the memories.

Hope it's good memories :)
I was first thinking of to suggest the AMG version but I think it's looks very low price with all the black
details... ´The difference in performance are low too, for example the AMG are 15 kg lighter , has 27 hp and 15 Nm more than the common 280E and are only one second faster up to 100 km/h . But yes the 280E looks very much, and maybe is, an oldmans car without the AMG kit :P
 
Lovely retro Benz!
