Brad Pitt has become the ambassador for the upcoming Mercedes AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. The actor and film producer will represent the new model, which will make its official debut in 2026 as the first vehicle built on the brand’s next-generation AMG.EA platform.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Brad  Pitt to Mercedes‑AMG. His authenticity and his taste for the exceptional perfectly reflect the spirit of our upcoming four-door Coupe from Affalterbach, to be revealed in 2026. With this new Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupe, we’re redefining performance and creating a truly exciting, unforgettable experience.”

To celebrate the collaboration, Mercedes-AMG put on a show in Las Vegas featuring a camouflaged prototype of the new car. In a short film, Pitt plays himself waiting for his car at a valet stand, only to find F1 driver George Russell behind the wheel. Russell then takes the prototype for a spin, hinting at what’s to come from the future four-door coupe.

“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 Mercedes‑AMG and I am proud to be part of this next chapter.”

The new model is based on AMG’s high-performance electric architecture, featuring three axial flux motors and a direct-cooled battery. This is technology that’s already demonstrated its capabilities in the CONCEPT AMG GT XX, which recently set a new record in Nardò, Italy.

“AMG has created something truly special here. I had an incredible day in Vegas with the Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door 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.”
