‘Justice League’ to feature Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo
The car debuted in 2013, but it’ll get a new interior for the latest DC flick.
“Justice League” is set to be one of the biggest superhero movies of all time — a tall task, given the staying power of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and Mercedes-Benz is dusting off an older concept to give Batman a new set of wheels.
Mercedes-Benz has a big product placement arrangement in place for “Justice League” — Wonder Woman gets an E-Class Cabriolet, for example — but the centerpiece is the old AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept, which will be Bruce Wayne’s ride of choice in the film.
Bruce Wayne’s a big guy, so Mercedes had to build a new concept to fit his frame. Sounds expensive.
Mercedes-BenzThe automaker made some changes to its four-year-old concept for this movie. The car now features a full interior with racing seats and a “virtual dashboard.” In order to fit a human, the car also expanded to 110 percent of its original size.
When it debuted, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept packed a 585-horsepower V8, tasked with moving just 3,053 pounds of aluminum and carbon fiber. It sports gullwing doors similar to the old-school 300 SL and the newer-school SLS AMG. It has quite the presence in person, since it’s long, low and wide.
“Justice League” hits theaters on Nov. 17, but you can whip out the PlayStation 3 and take the AMG Vision Gran Turismo for a ride any time you want.
