SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – The legendary Mercedes-Benz G-Class is about to add an extra dose of drama to its already iconic presence, as an all-new open-top version begins real-world testing on roads and test tracks in Europe. This upcoming model promises to combine the unmistakable G-Class silhouette with the pure joy of open-air driving, creating a luxury off-roader that feels equally at home cruising city streets or climbing into the mountains.

A New Chapter for an Off-Road Icon

For decades, the G-Class has been known for its boxy design, solid stance and go-anywhere attitude. Now, Mercedes-Benz is taking that formula and literally opening it up. Following an extremely positive reaction to the first teaser, the brand is sending camouflaged prototypes of the open-top G-Class into the world for rigorous testing.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – When Brad Pitt steps out under the neon glow of Las Vegas and hands his keys to a valet, you expect movie magic – not a five-time F1® race winner behind the wheel of a camouflaged prototype. That’s exactly the kind of high-energy surprise Mercedes-AMG staged to introduce the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, kicking off a new era of performance with a blockbuster-style premiere that feels tailor-made for sports car fans.

A Las Vegas Stunt That Feels Like a Movie Scene

For this launch moment, Mercedes-AMG swapped the usual motor show stage for the buzzing streets of Las Vegas. The scene is simple and cinematic: Brad Pitt waits for his car at a valet stand, only to discover that his “valet” is actually Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team star George Russell. From there, the prototype Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe becomes the true co-star.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – When Akio Toyoda says his dream is for people to say “cars are our culture,” he’s not just talking about Japan – he’s talking about the shared, emotional bond drivers feel around the world. That’s why his recent Lifetime Achievement Golden Steering Wheel award in Berlin is more than a trophy; it’s a moment where German car culture tipped its hat to a Japanese “car guy” who lives and breathes motorsport, road cars and the joy of driving.

What makes the Golden Steering Wheel such a big deal?

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 2, 2025 – For drivers who love the feel of wind-in-your-hair motoring and classic roadster proportions, the BMW Z4 Final Edition is both a celebration and a goodbye. This very limited Z4 M40i sends off BMW’s two-seat roadster with bold design details, serious performance and a specification that feels carefully curated rather than simply optioned.

A farewell chapter for BMW’s open-top icon

Since its debut in 2002, the Z4 has carried forward BMW’s long tradition of two-seat, open-top sports cars, following legendary models like the BMW 328, 507 and Z8. With its long hood, short rear deck and low seating position, it has always been about that direct connection between driver, road and sky.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 2, 2025 – Standing just metres from a glowing lava lake, clipped into a rope 600 metres inside an active volcano, most people would be thinking about getting out as fast as possible – but for German adventure photographer and filmmaker Ulla Lohmann, that’s exactly where she feels most alive. For more than 25 years, she has chased eruptions, lava flows and extreme landscapes around the world, turning a childhood fascination with volcanoes into a dream career that blends travel, storytelling and science.

From childhood volcano fan to National Geographic storyteller

Ulla’s path into adventure photography started young. At eight years old, her father took her to Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Pompeii, where she fell in love with what she calls “the breath of the earth”. That mix of danger, history and raw power never left her.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 22, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 22, 2025 – Hamburg’s harbor just got a new splash of color: the first-ever Krombacher Spezi-branded event ship has taken to the Elbe, turning heads between the Elbphilharmonie, the Reeperbahn, and St. Michael’s Church. With its vibrant design and upbeat energy, it’s an unmistakable symbol of refreshment and individuality.

In collaboration with the long-established Kapitän Prüsse shipping company, known since 1973 for authentic harbor cruises, Krombacher Spezi brings its latest campaign — “Feier Dein Speziell” (“Celebrate Your Special Side”) — to one of northern Germany’s most iconic spots. The result is a feel-good combination of nostalgia, lifestyle, and a cult beverage that’s ready to make waves.
