According to Mercedes-AMG, Brad Pitt perfectly embodies the brand’s core values: ambition, innovation, emotion and performance. A passionate enthusiast of powerful cars, the actor will represent the first production vehicle built on the future high-performance AMG.EA architecture — a technological leap that promises to redefine what is expected from a four-door sports coupé.
Cinematic scene in Las Vegas marks the beginning of the partnership
To launch the collaboration, Mercedes-AMG created a high-impact cinematic scene in Las Vegas. In the video, Brad Pitt waits for his car at a hotel entrance, only to realize that the valet is actually George Russell, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS driver and five-time Formula 1 Grand Prix winner.
Behind the wheel of a camouflaged prototype of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, Russell speeds through the city streets, showcasing for the first time a glimpse of the precision, power and agility of the new model. The action celebrates the union of Hollywood with the world of high-performance automotive engineering.
Next-generation technology
The new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé will be the first vehicle to use the revolutionary AMG.EA platform, equipped with:
- three axial-flow motors
- a directly cooled battery
- technology derived from the CONCEPT AMG GT XX, which recently set records in Nardò, Italy
The brand promises a new dimension of continuous power delivery, instant acceleration and ultra-high-level dynamic behavior — all aligned with the electric future of AMG.
