Update: Nintendo has confirmed that the Mercedes-Benz GLA-class kart for Mario Kart 8 will be released this summer across Europe.

No firm release date has been announced.

Original story:

Well we didn’t see this coming. This summer Mario Kart 8 in Japan will offer a free DLC for a drivable Mercedes GLA.

So bizarre is the DLC that it looks like one of those battery powered cars kids get for Christmas.

As part of the promotion a real life Mario appears in a Mercedes commercial. Hope you don’t plan on sleeping anytime soon.

Nintendo UK told Eurogamer: “As for the information relating to the distribution of the GLA kart for MK8 outside Japan, we will be able to announce in the near future.”
