Bugatti opens Hamburg showroom with new design

The French super sports car brand Bugatti now has an exclusive outlet in Hamburg. Together with its sales partner, Kamps in Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG, Bugatti inaugurated an entirely redesigned showroom this week. The Bugatti brand world has floor space of almost 100 square metres and is located near Hamburg airport. The latest product of the luxury brand from Molsheim, the 1500 PS, 420 km/h Bugatti Chiron1, now has an appropriate home in the north of Germany. Hamburg is Bugatti’s fourth dealership in Germany with the new showroom design and its 12th in Europe. Bugatti has a total of 34 dealerships in 17 countries, four of which are located in Germany.

“The opening of the new Bugatti showroom in Hamburg completes the exclusive presentation of our dealerships in Germany. I am very happy about this new facility,” says Dr. Stefan Brungs, Member of the Board of Management of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. responsible for Sales, Marketing and Customer Service. “Showrooms appropriate for the brand are reflected in sales performance. Germany has overtaken Great Britain and Switzerland and is now the number one market in Europe,” Brungs adds. In total, 45 orders for the Chiron have been taken in Germany, representing 40 percent of all sales in Europe.

“Bugatti Hamburg has also been very successful with sales of the Chiron. I would like to thank our long-standing partner, Kamps in Hamburg, for the team’s excellent work and considerable personal dedication.” Since the launch of the super sports car, Hamburg has taken 10 orders for the Chiron.

The Kamps Group has been successful in the automobile business for more than 60 years and has become an expert in super sports cars and luxury vehicles. Kamps in Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG, a company which is a member of this group, has been an official dealer partner of Bugatti since 2009.

“The extremely positive cooperation with Bugatti over the past few years and the results achieved have reinforced our decision to open an exclusive showroom in Hamburg for the super sports cars from Molsheim,” says Ronald Ludwig, Managing Director of Bugatti Hamburg. “It is a great honour for us to be able to present the world of this extraordinary brand with its history of more than 100 years to our demanding customers at a new address.”

The new showroom in Hamburg gives customers and guests an impression of the Bugatti brand values of “Art, Forme, Technique” and the flair of the company’s headquarters in Molsheim. There is a heritage section devoted to the Bugatti brand values. Three wallmounted steles each express one of these values. Each stele has a monitor for showing films and animations that give an impressive presentation of the respective brand value.

The lounge area is equipped with furniture from the Bugatti Home Collection designed especially for the brand’s new showrooms. The organically shaped armchairs are made from the finest leather and blue carbon fibre, high-quality materials with complex processing that are also used for the production of a Bugatti super sports car. The sides are decorated by the EB logo.

A curving white brand wall sets the stage for the star of any Bugatti showroom – the Chiron, the world’s most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car.

Mercedes-Benz Launches Campaign to Support Warner Bros. Pictures’ Upcoming Epic Action Adventure JUSTICE LEAGUE: Super Heroes drive Mercedes-Benz

This autumn, JUSTICE LEAGUE, one of the most anticipated superhero movies of all time, hits global theatrical screens beginning November 17, 2017 in the U.S. from Warner Bros. Pictures – and Mercedes-Benz vehicles will join the League alongside Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash as they race to save the planet from an alien assault of catastrophic proportions. Accompanying DC’s most iconic heroes on the big screen, the new E-Class Cabriolet, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo with its new interior developed for this film, and the G-Class 4×42 will play an integral role in this epic action adventure. Mercedes-Benz will set up a substantial marketing campaign around the film’s theatrical release, including a 30-second TV commercial, print, online and OOH advertising. Activations on social media will also be launching and – for the first time – six exclusive digital comic stories for Mercedes-Benz’ Instagram channels, developed in cooperation with DC‘s Custom Creative Studio. The TV commercial launches on October 6 in the US, Europe and China. The first digital comic will release on October 20 on Instagram, with all other stories following in quick succession.

“With JUSTICE LEAGUE, we found the perfect partner to highlight our current vehicles as well as communicate the fascination of our brand. The E-Class Cabriolet is a natural fit for Wonder Woman,” says Dr. Jens Thiemer, Vice President Marketing Mercedes-Benz Cars“ . And who other than Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, would be more inclined to drive a car like the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo? We are therefore highly excited to partner with Warner Bros. Pictures on this much-anticipated movie as we reach out to as many people as possible with a creative and innovative campaign.”& amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; nbsp;

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet premiers on the silver screen as the vehicle driven by Diana Prince. Better known to the world through her Super Hero identity, Wonder Woman, Diana takes the E-Cabrio for a ride on a mission to speak with Victor Stone, aka Cyborg. An additional automotive highlight in the film is the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo as Bruce Wayne’s vehicle of choice when he drops in on Barry Allen, aka The Flash, to recruit him into the League.

Initially revealed to the public in 2013, the Mercedes-Benz Design team has developed for the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo a fully fleshed-out interior with illuminated elements, racing seats and a virtual dashboard section for JUSTICE LEAGUE production purposes. Filming required the whole vehicle to be enlarged to 110% compared to its predecessor, in order to accommodate seating the film’s impressive over 1,90 m tall Bruce Wayne while maintaining its sleek-looking low roofline.

“As a designer you have to create fantasy, so we often get inspired by the film industry. I am excited that this time, the film industry was inspired by us and our Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo became the car for a super hero”, says Gordon Wagener, Chief Design Officer Daimler AG. “Extreme proportions, sensual contours amd intelligently implemented high tech blend to form a breathtaking body and the perfect car for Bruce Wayne.”

Global Mercedes-Benz promotion via all communication channels

The Mercedes-Benz JUSTICE LEAGUE marketing campaign kicks off on October 6 with the TVC “Hard To Resist”, ahead of the U.S. release of Warner Bros Pictures’ highly anticipated movie on November 17. The TV Commercial will feature all main vehicles appearing in the film and deliver an explanation why Mercedes-Benz vehicles are “ Hard to resist” even if you’re actually a super hero: https://youtu.be/9qF4pcq7RCU.

 

The automotive star of the campaign motif for print, online and OOH is the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet, as it makes an appearance surrounded by members of DC’s iconic League. And there is another, quite different campaign motif, named “Symbols,” showing an even stronger connection between these Super Heroes and Mercedes-Benz, with a surprising take on the brand’s star.

An extensive “Making of” featurette provides film and comic fans with an exclusive behind-the scenes look at the film shoot, highlighting the main Mercedes-Benz vehicles and the tremendous effort that was necessary in order to build up the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo new interior for its big screen debut. The Making of is available at: https://youtu.be/OVCjhR7ltJM.

 

A leading element of the marketing campaign promoting the movie and its hero vehicles is a series of digital comic stories that have been created in close co-operation with DC’s Custom Creative Studio, which will be released exclusively on Mercedes-Benz’ Instagram channels. These stories focus on the private lives of the JUSTICE LEAGUE characters’ alter egos, and present a fresh take on how a cool vehicle can sometimes save the day – even for the world’s most powerful heroes.

Stuttgart. After the great success of the model car series of the Mercedes-AMG G 63 Colour Package (Code: 01), Mercedes-Benz now brings out a limited edition of the G 500 4×4² in eight distinctive special colours.

With portal axles and a full 44 centimetres of ground clearance, the G 500 4×4² has been the highlight in the model program of the off-road icon since 2015. Even scaled down to 1:18, the extreme G has an imposing appearance. The G 500 4×4² is now available as a limited edition model car in the eight special colours; diamond white, electric beam, tektite grey, mauritius blue, sunset beam, alien green, tomato red and galactic beam. In line with the internal model code W 463, there are be exactly 463 copies of every colour – each numbered, i.e., “1 of 463”, “2 of 463”, etc., on the bottom of the each car.

The exclusive, resin-made miniatures were created in collaboration with the model car specialist GT Spirit, who Mercedes-Benz gave the original design data to for the development of these unique models. The level of detail is extremely high: for example, the 4×4² logo on the rim was implemented as true to the original vehicle as the perforated metal under the front apron. The eight miniature extreme G models consist of up to 100 parts and are outfitted with a number of special equipment.
