Following on from last year’s motorsport collaboration at the Nürburgring 24-hour race, the future initiative transitions from the racetrack to the street. The four art cars of the second Mercedes-AMG x Palace collection, celebrating major cities, are inspired by the cosmopolitan flare of London, Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo, the locations of Palace’s flagship locations.

A campaign centered on the tagline “Affalterbach to the world,” which runs from March 21 to March 25, acts as a lighthearted drive for Mercedes-home AMG’s to be on par with the four pulsing metropolises.

Lev Tanju and the Palace design team recreated the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S, Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+, Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4MATIC+, and Mercedes-AMG G 63 to commemorate London, Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo.

The AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach painted and modified each one-of-a-kind model. The vehicles include seven-layer fade paint finishes with color-changing effects, as well as co-branded badges and insignia. Custom seat upholstery and door panels, customized floor mats, head restraints and hand rests, and partnership logo LED door projectors have also been installed in the interiors.

Mercedes-AMG A 45 S PALACE Edition/”Tiger London”: The bold, multicolor paintwork, the large head of a white tiger on the bonnet and the large AMG emblem on the sides of the car pay homage to the vibrant and diverse custom car scene in the UK in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4MATIC+ PALACE Edition/”Sunset LA”: With paintwork that shimmers between bright yellow and deep red, the 2+2-seater roadster represents the perpetual Californian summer.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ PALACE Edition/”Neon Fade New York”: The color scheme, which transitions from black to neon yellow, represents the two sides of the megacity on the Hudson River. “The city that never sleeps” delivers a fascinating contrast between the rough pavements of some areas and the bright lights of directly neighboring districts.

Mercedes-AMG G 63 PALACE Edition/”Space Horse Tokyo”: The horse galloping through space on the vehicle’s flank pays tribute to the fantasy culture so popular in Japan.

The Mercedes-AMG x Palace Skateboards Second Capsule Collection that goes with it bridges the gap between the worlds of sports and fashion. The similarities between high-performance sports vehicles and street skating are highlighted: performance and speed; adrenaline and coolness.

The matching 23-piece collection is based on the style of the Art Cars and includes jackets, gilets, hoodies, T-shirts, pants, caps, and beanies. Together, the special collection aims to provide functional everyday wear with a “motor mechanic” vibe.

The Mercedes-AMG x Palace Skateboards Second Collection will be available in-store and online beginning March 25, 11 a.m. GMT and EDT on the brand’s official webstore, and in Japan on March 26, 11 a.m. JST on the Palace Japan webstore, and on March 26, 11 a.m. CST on the official “Palace Skateboards” WeChat store.
