Mercedes-AMG reveals four skateboard-inspired art cars

A fashion collaboration with British brand Palace Skateboards has created four unique Mercedes-AMG art cars, including a new SL 63 roadster.

Mercedes-AMG and British skateboard manufacturer Palace have collaborated on four eye-catching art cars.

The special cars are inspired by major cities around the globe, with bold paint schemes and equally in-your-face interiors. 

It marks the second project completed by the two companies, following a motorsport-themed display in 2021.

The four cars chosen for this latest art car project bring serious horsepower to the party. 

Los Angeles is represented by the Mercedes‑AMG SL 63 roadster, with paintwork that fades from yellow to deep red. This is said to capture the idea of a perpetual Californian summer.

A Mercedes‑AMG A 45 S hot hatchback has been inspired by the streets of London, with a large tiger head logo on the bonnet. The vibrant colour scheme inside and out pays homage to the UK’s custom car scene from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Neon yellow and black feature on the Mercedes‑AMG GT 63. The contrasting colours are intended to invoke images of the two sides of the Hudson River in New York City. 

Finally, the Mercedes‑AMG G 63 pays tribute to Tokyo. The image of a horse galloping through space comes from Japan’s love of fantasy culture.

Fast fashion collective

The four cars are being used to promote a new fashion collection from Palace Skateboards. 

Trousers, hoodies, jackets, T‑shirts, gilets and hats will all form part of the new range. Fans will be able to purchase the new collection from Palace’s four flagship stores, or online.  

Combining bold colours and large AMG logos, Palace’s fashion offering will be on sale from Friday 25 March.
