The car is a Mercedes-Benz C-Class on the W202 platform, built by the account owner who goes by Ricky Builts and is based in the northern Virginia area. The build began as a widebody project and expanded over roughly three years to include a full powertrain replacement and suspension overhaul.

The original engine was removed and replaced with an M104 3.2-liter inline-six sourced for approximately 800 dollars. The unit was turbocharged using a PSR Pulsar 3576 Gen2 turbocharger, fueled on E85, and managed by a MaxxECU unit remote-tuned by Jota5Sport. A dyno session at T2 Autoworks recorded 501 wheel horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque on a Mustang dynamometer. A six-speed manual transmission was fitted via a custom adapter kit.

The exterior features a one-of-one custom widebody kit with no production equivalent. Suspension management is air-based, allowing the car to sit at ground level for shows. Carbon fiber interior trim pieces were added during the build process, and the car received at least one full color change documented on the account.

The W202 has been shown at Import Expo in Washington DC, Tuner Evolution in Virginia Beach, Clean Culture at Dominion Raceway, Filthy Kleen in the DMV area, and Slammedenuff Gatlinburg in Tennessee, where it received notable attention from attendees and other creators.
