Amidst dramatic light projections and mist, the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology EDITION ONE emerged from the water, a breathtaking moment curated by Travis Scott. The event drew a stellar crowd, including celebrities such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Selma Blair, Ciara, Trevor Noah, Saweetie, Bradley Cooper, and many others, making it a night that transcended typical Hollywood glamour.
“Los Angeles is a city of legends, which is why we chose to unveil our new electric G-Class here in Beverly Hills,” said Bettina Fetzer, Vice President of Communications & Marketing at Mercedes-Benz AG. “For over 40 years, the G-Class has proven it can conquer any terrain, and tonight it took on a new journey. We’re thrilled that our G-family, including Kendall Jenner, Bradley Cooper, and Travis Scott, joined us in celebrating the relaunch of our icon. Simultaneously, the electric G was revealed in Beijing, marking a global moment for this groundbreaking model.”
