Mario Kart 8 gamers will soon be able to race in two classic Mercedes-Benz motors, along with the brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLA…

If you’re sick and tired of racing around in Mario Kart 8 on the ‘Biddybuggy’ kart or the ‘Mr. Scooty’ bike, then you might be glad to hear that three new Mercedes-Benz cars will be included in the latest MK8 free add-on content.

The free DLC will be available from August 27 and will include a 1930s W25 Silver Arrow, a 1950s 300 SL Roadster, and the new Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class. The collaboration between Nintendo and Mercedes-Benz will be the first time that branded vehicles have appeared in the game’s 22-year-long history and to celebrate the momentous occasion, Nintendo plans to host an online worldwide 'Mercedes Cup Tournament' between August 27 & September 23, 2014.
