Brad Pitt Joins Mercedes AMG: New GT 4 Door Coupe Shocks Las Vegas

Mercedes AMG is welcoming a new face into its so called World’s Fastest Family, and it is a name almost everyone knows. Brad Pitt is joining the brand as the ambassador for the upcoming Mercedes AMG GT 4 Door Coupe, a car that aims to blend Hollywood star power with serious performance engineering. Known for his leading role in the Hollywood film Formula 1 The Movie and his strong on screen presence, Brad brings ambition, confidence, and a love for performance that fits naturally with the Mercedes AMG mindset.

In this new chapter, Brad will help introduce the Mercedes AMG GT 4 Door Coupe to the world, a performance machine that is scheduled to celebrate its world premiere in 2026. This is not just another fast sedan. It is the first vehicle to be built on the future AMG.EA high performance architecture, signaling how Mercedes AMG wants to shape the next era of electric and electrified driving.

To kick off the collaboration in a memorable way, Mercedes AMG created a high energy stunt in Las Vegas. The setting is simple but fun. Brad Pitt is waiting at a valet stand for his car, only to realize that the valet is actually Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 driver George Russell. Instead of slowly pulling up to the curb, George takes a camouflaged Mercedes AMG GT 4 Door Coupe prototype and puts it through its paces on closed roads. Viewers get a first taste of the agility, precision, and drama this car can deliver, all while Brad watches his “valet driver” show off what the car can really do.

The brand uses this playful scene to hint at something bigger. The upcoming Mercedes AMG GT 4 Door Coupe is engineered around a new drive concept that uses three axial flux electric motors and a direct cooled battery. This setup aims to deliver outstanding continuous power and repeatable performance, not just a single short burst of speed. Earlier this year, the Concept AMG GT XX demonstrated what this technology can do with a record breaking run at the Nardo test track in southern Italy, and the upcoming production car is built on the same core ideas.

Inside the company, there is clear excitement. Michael Schiebe, Chief Executive Officer of Mercedes AMG GmbH and Head of the Mercedes Benz G Class and Mercedes Maybach business units, highlights how Brad Pitt’s authenticity and taste for exceptional experiences mirror the spirit of the new four door coupe. Brad himself talks about always chasing performance both on screen and behind the wheel, and how that same focus is what attracted him to Mercedes AMG. George Russell adds that the prototype already feels special and that fans can look forward to something truly intense when the car reaches the road.

In the end, this partnership is about more than just a famous face in a commercial. It is about connecting emotion, technology, and storytelling around a car that is meant to push Mercedes AMG into a new dimension of performance.
