Collaborations between automotive brands and artists are common, often limited to color or material options. However, Mercedes and Will.I.Am take it a step further. The composer, record producer, and Black Eyed Peas vocalist has created a unique model based on the foundation of the AMG GT four-door and the front end of the Mercedes G-Class.<\/p>\n
The car maintains the proportions of a long coupe with a substantial hood that is also more voluminous than the conventional model. Instead of the Panamericana grille, the front features typical off-road elements, including round headlights and a square grille, accompanied by aggressive bumpers.<\/p>\n
The large wheels have a five-spoke design reminiscent of some 1990s Mercedes models or those available in the Maybach lineup.<\/p>\n
Certainly, the most unusual detail is the doors. They have been reduced to just two, and their opening is opposite to the usual direction. The artist explains his creation this way: “I grew up in the ghetto. I grew up with hip-hop. I saw legendary hip-hop artists rapping in Mercedes, so it has always been a dream for me to have one. For many inner-city kids, having a Mercedes is a dream, a symbol of progress beyond struggle. Now I’ve achieved my goal and go a step further by reimagining and creating my own vision of an AMG model.”<\/p>\n
Will.I.Am noted that there are no changes to the mechanical parts of the model, as he believes that AMG manufactures the world’s best engine.<\/p>\n
It is an AMG GT, but the brand has not specified which version it is based on, leaving two possibilities: it could be the AMG GT 53 4MATIC+, which uses a tandem six-cylinder engine, produces 367 horsepower, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km\/h in 4.5 seconds. Alternatively, the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE is a plug-in hybrid with a V8 engine producing 843 horsepower, completing the sprint in 2.9 seconds.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
