Mercedes-AMG has officially welcomed Hollywood icon Brad Pitt into what it proudly calls the “Worldโs Fastest Family,” marking one of the brandโs most high-profile collaborations to date. Fresh off his starring role in the upcoming blockbuster F1ยฎ THE MOVIE, Pitt steps into a new real-world automotive spotlight, this time as an ambassador for AMGโs next major performance milestone.
According to Mercedes-AMG, Pitt embodies the core attributes the brand prizes: ambition, performance, and a willingness to push boundaries. Those qualities align seamlessly with AMGโs mission as the brand prepares to introduce an entirely new era of electrified, high-performance engineering.
At the center of the partnership is the forthcoming Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, a completely reimagined performance machine set to make its global debut in 2026. Built on AMG.EA, AMGโs future high-performance electric architecture, the new GT 4-Door Coupe promises an emotional driving experience defined by precision, agility, and next-level power delivery.
A Las Vegas Spectacle to Launch the Collaboration
To celebrate the new alliance, Mercedes-AMG orchestrated a cinematic stunt in Las Vegas that paired blockbuster star power with Formula 1 expertise. The scene opens innocently enough: Pitt waits at a valet stand for his car. Moments later, the valet turns around, and itโs not a valet at all, but Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 driver and five-time Grand Prix winner George Russell.
Brad Pitt, Actor and film producer: “I’ve always been a fan of performance, both on screen and behind the wheel. That same dedication to performance and thrill is what defines MercedesโAMG and I am proud to be part of this next chapter.”
Behind the wheel of a fully camouflaged prototype of the upcoming GT 4-Door Coupe, Russell unleashes a teaser of whatโs to come. In a high-energy showcase, he puts the car through a flurry of precision maneuvers, giving the world a first glimpse of the vehicleโs sharp dynamics and electrifying performance credentials.
The playful yet adrenaline-charged moment signals AMGโs intent: a bold step into its next chapter, with innovation and performance taking center stage.
With Brad Pitt now representing the brand and a revolutionary flagship model on the horizon, Mercedes-AMG is gearing up to redefine what the future of high-performance driving looks like. The all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is set to make that future a reality in 2026.
George Russell, MercedesโAMG PETRONAS F1 Team driver: “AMG has created something truly special here. I had an incredible day in Vegas with the MercedesโAMG GT 4โDoor Coupe prototype. The car feels fantastic, and I’m really impressed with the performance that AMG is bringing to the road. I think fans have something very special to look forward to.”
