For weeks now the racing drivers have been working to improve their physical fitness, testing the latest evolutionary stages of their racing cars and gearing themselves up mentally for exciting duels. The fans, too, can now prepare for the new season – with the Mercedes-Benz Motorsports Selection 2013, which comprises many new products.

Carbon fibre is the common feature of several exclusive accessories for motorsport fans this season. They include two watches with a carbon-fibre face and stainless steel case: a chronograph (259.90 euros ^[1]) and a three-hand watch (149.90 euros), each in a limited edition of 1000. Carbon fibre also plays a part in the other new products and features: the lighter (59.90 euros), the bottle opener (19.90 euros) and the key ring (49.90 euros) have a carbon-fibre surface on their front side. All five articles sport an engraved Mercedes-Benz Motorsport logo as well as a three-dimensional Mercedes star.

The F1 Silver Arrow dynamically cornering on the kerbs is the common pictorial theme on the beach blanket (34.90 euros), iPhone® case (14.90 euros) and drinking bottle (29.90 euros). Other new products include a helmet-shaped USB stick with a storage capacity of 8 GB (29.90 euros), a coolbag (29.90 euros) and a men's cap (23.90 euros). The wooden balance bike for children (129.90 euros) uses the colour scheme of the Formula 1 car, showing the characteristic progression from silver to petronas green to black.

The Formula 1 offering, of course, again includes the popular caps, both in the versions of drivers Hamilton and Rosberg and in the team version (29.90 euros each) – made by PUMA. Formula 1 fans can choose between Hamilton and Rosberg when they buy the shirt, too (49.90 euros each). Alternatively there is a team polo shirt (69.90 euros). For the first time the range includes a polo shirt for women (64.90 euros) and a T-shirt for children (39.90 euros). Both items are manufactured by partner PUMA from 100 percent cotton. The printed MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS logo and the Mercedes-Benz logo adorn the dark grey shirts. Also new in the PUMA lifestyle product range are a black polo shirt (64.90 euros) and a black crumple look jacket (159.90 euros).

For the DTM fans of Mercedes-Benz the DTM cap (23.90 euros), the DTM polo shirt (49.90 euros) made of 100 percent cotton piqué and the DTM lanyard (14.90 euros) are new. An embroidered Mercedes-Benz AMG DTM team logo adorns them for the first time.

All articles of the Motorsports Selection 2013 are available online at www.shop.mercedes-benz.com and from authorised Mercedes-Benz dealers.

The A-Class Selection: Hats off to Mercedes-Benz

Don't Copy From This Blog...

To tie in with the market launch of the new A-Class, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH has introduced a range of stylish products reflecting the carefree approach to life that typifies the young and young-at-heart buyers of this sporty compact model.

It used to be said that if you drove a Mercedes you wore a hat. In the new A-Class you can now do so in some style. Among the products in the new A-Class Selection is an on-trend trilby made of black wool felt. An exclusive design by specialist manufacturer Stetson, it features a hat band whose contrasting check pattern mirrors that of the A-Class sports seat in the 'Urban' line trim set. Available in sizes 56 and 58.

The black men's polo shirt also takes its cue from the seat pattern, with a white check print adorning the front and back shoulders. Neckband and collar stand come in the A-Class's south seas blue. This colour can also be found in the thread on the buttons and in the embroidery on the side slits. Made of 100 per cent cotton piqué, the polo shirt is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL.

With a contrast check pattern on black nylon and an inner lining in south seas blue, the shoulder bag and smartphone case also combine two hallmarks of the new A-Class. Another nice touch is the rivet in the shape of a Mercedes-Benz star.

The stylish clutch bag in the A-Class colour option of monolith grey goes with virtually any outfit. This ladies handbag made from imitation leather bears the Mercedes star rivet on the pull tab of its zip fastener. A detachable shoulder strap is also supplied.

The south seas blue aluminium bezel of the wristwatch is a nod to another popular colour of the new A-Class. This sporty three-hand timepiece features a stainless steel wristband and rubberised plastic in a matt/gloss look as well as a large date display.

The stainless-steel A-Class key ring is an authentic scale 1:18 replica of the 18" wheel rim. The wheel in the A-Class model's distinctive 5-twin-spoke design is attached to the flat split ring with a chain. Three smaller split rings make it easier to remove and add keys.

Jupiter red, monolith grey or south seas blue? Whereas A-Class buyers have to pick one paint finish, the three-set nail polish gives ladies the chance to change depending on how they feel. This trio of three genuine vehicle colours is available in a cube gift box.

Cheers! Celebrate the purchase of a new A-Class in style with matching
spritz glasses. These platinum-coated glasses were designed exclusively for Mercedes-Benz by Ritzenhoff and are presented as a pair in a gift box.

The bracelet with charms is sporty yet chic, just like the new A-Class. Made of black cowhide, the double-braided bracelet comes with a toggle fastener. The three charms – an open-work Mercedes three-pointed star, a disco ball with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski elements and a stylised cocktail glass – are made from stainless steel.

The A-Class launch Selection is available online at http://shop.mercedes-benz.de and from Mercedes-Benz sales partners.

All set for the new season: The Mercedes-Benz Motorsports Selection 2012 - Accessories to suit every motorsports fan

Don't Copy From This Blog...

The new Mercedes-Benz Motorsports Selection is now available from Mercedes-Benz dealers and at the online shop. Motorsports fans can choose from three dozen products, ranging from high-quality chronograph watches through fashionable apparel to practical fan articles such as cushions and flags.

A highlight in the 2012 racing season is the exclusive cooperation with new team partner PUMA. The range of Formula 1 team articles covers drivers' and team jackets,T-shirts, caps and other important accessories for visits to the race circuit. At the same time, the green of Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 partner PETRONAS is being introduced into the colour design of many motorsports fan articles. 

The best-selling item last year was the Michael Schumacher Formula 1 cap. In 2012 the anthracite-coloured cap, which is also available in a Rosberg variant, features green contrasts on the piping. Other new items include a stylish ballpoint pen with black cap, chrome body and centre ring in Petronas green and a black belt in contrasting silver and green. The metal buckle sports an embossed Mercedes-Benz star.

Three watches from the Motorsports Selection ensure that fans will not miss a second of the racing action: a totally new addition is the three-handed watch with stainless steel case and date display. The green seconds hand is offset particularly effectively against the black face. Two leather straps in white and black with stitching are included. The design of the carbon face and the strap of the limited-edition chronograph watch have been made even more attractive. The sporty Passion watch kicks off the new season unaltered.

The extensive range of sporty and functional clothing includes a men's short-armed polo shirt in black cotton piqué featuring white contrasting sleeve trims and highlights in silver, Petronas green and white. The women's polo shirt in the same material comes in white. Button border and collar band are in Petronas green and the Mercedes-Benz star in the chest area consists of rhinestone. Caps in a matching colour are available for both polo shirts. The clothing range further includes a men's T-shirt featuring a print of a DTM car, a matching new DTM cap with mesh inserts and a men's windcheater.

The current Mercedes-Benz motorsport look with green piping also features on the functional sports bag with washbag and the rucksack with the Airstripes back system for high carrying comfort. Both articles are produced by renowned rucksack specialist Deuter. Also "made by deuter" is the black and white wallet with green piping.

The Mercedes-Benz Motorsports Selection also offers a smart iPhone®case. The black polyester case has a practical lug for pulling out the iPhone®or closing the case and is also provided with a belt loop.

Mercedes motorsports fans will be prepared for all weathers with the silver and green guest umbrella, whose Teflon coating effectively prevents soiling, and with a pair of sunglasses. This unisex model is "made by Rodenstock" and is fitted with polycarbonate lenses offering UV 400 protection. A cushion provides a comfortable seat at the races. The 40 x 40 centimetre cushion can be folded together for transportation purposes and features convenient grips for carrying.
