Mercedes-AMG is once again partnering with Palace, a British skateboard and streetwear brand, to create no less than 4 show cars. Together, the brands will also release a clothing line that will be on sale at the brand’s four flagship stores in London, Los Angeles, New York and Tokyo.
The four art cars are based on the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S, GT 63 4MATIC +, SL 63 4MATIC + and G 63. All have unique paints designed by Palace’s Lev Tanju and his team and pay homage to the four metropolises where the brand’s flagship stores are located.
AMG’s art cars have a seven-layer fade paint that gives the vehicles a color-changing effect, and all are covered by AMG and Palace logos. Also, the interior has been modified with special seat cover colors to bring them more in line with the aesthetics of the exterior. All models were painted and adapted in the AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach.

Mercedes-AMG A 45 S Palace Edition / “Tiger London” has bold, multicolored paint and a large white tiger head painted on the bonnet. The pages meanwhile have large AMG emblems and pay homage to the lively and diverse custom car scene in the UK in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
SL 63 4MATIC + PALACE Edition / “Sunset LA” has lacquer that shines between light yellow and deep red. The 2 + 2 roadster is designed to represent the eternal California summer.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC + Palace Edition / “Neon Fade New York” also has a sparkling paint that goes from black to what Mercedes calls neon yellow, but which looks like green to me. Either way, the paint represents the two sides of the city that never sleep, by contrasting the rough sidewalks in some areas and the bright lights of others.
Finally, the G 63 Palace Edition / “Space Horse Tokyo” has a horse that gallops through the space on the side and pays homage to the fantasy culture that is popular in Japan.
