If you’re heading to the 2025 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance during Monterey Car Week, Mercedes-Benz is bringing an exciting lineup of cars that you’d not want to miss. The centerpiece is the new Stargaze Theatre, a drive-in style installation that screens scenes from films featuring Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Parked in front of the massive outdoor screens will be the real cars from those films: think 450 SEL from For Your Eyes Only, the ML 320 from Jurassic Park, the 190 SL from High Society, and more.
Mercedes is also partnering with the team behind the recent Brad Pitt starrer, F1: The Movie. The blockbuster film’s director, Joseph Kosinski, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer will host a private conversation about the movie’s production. On display nearby: the fictional APXGP race car and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 “APXGP Edition,” a limited-run 52-unit special, inspired by the movie’s livery.
The three-pointed star will also use Pebble Beach to preview two major concept vehicles. The CONCEPT AMG GT XX, an electric four-door sports sedan with 1,341 horsepower, represents the next phase of AMG’s performance strategy. The Vision V concept also makes its American debut. Built on the new Van Electric Architecture, it envisions a luxury lounge on wheels.
If you’re looking for something that’s all about exclusivity, Mercedes will present the Maybach S 680 Edition Emerald Isle, limited to 25 examples for the U.S. market, each finished with details inspired by California’s Central Coast. Racing history will also be on display at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, where the iconic 1955 300 SLR will share the track with the 2009 SLR McLaren Stirling Moss. Mercedes-Benz will also present the legendary Sauber-Mercedes C9, one of the all-time Le Mans race cars.
Finally, the Tour d’Elegance promises a spectacular drive along the 17-Mile Drive and the Pacific Coast Highway, while the new AMG GT 63 “APXGP Edition” will join a rare 1910 Benz Prinz-Heinrich, which is one of only two surviving examples. So there you have it, a taster of what Mercedes is bringing to this year’s Pebble Beach. Whether you collect cars, love motorsports, or just appreciate automotive culture in general, you’ll find plenty to dig into, around experiences specifically designed to pull you into the German brand’s legacy, current innovations, and future vision, and for more on what else is coming later this week, check out our in-depth Guide to the 2025 Monterey Car Week.
