It's only on screen for a brief period of time, but is involved in one of the movies key scenes which looks like blatant product placement for Mercedes. Clint Eastwood drives it away from a second storey in an exploding warehouse and it smashes through glass and lands in a ground floor warehouse intact and Clint Eastwood makes the comment "Engineered like no other car", which I believe was an advertisement slogan by Mercedes during the "over-engineered" era.
