The Ice Spice x Mercedes-Benz CLA has been created by the rapper as part of the automotive brand's Classic of Creators collection that incorporates elements of her style onto the opulent sedan. The vehicle was debuted by the Princess of Rap as the first model from the collection and features a metallic finish that appears to be melting right off the chassis. The vehicle is paired with wheels adorned with her name alongside chainlink trims and the finishing touch of Princess motif across the center on the side that looks just like the rapper's necklace.
The Ice Spice x Mercedes-Benz CLA is the first of the collection to be debuted and will see the additional four models being launched later this year.
