It is not uncommon for automotive manufacturers to get some advertising throughout the film industry and this time two big names of both worlds have come together. I’m talking about the Germans from Mercedes-Benz providing transportation for the four dames (and the main male character) of the iconic Sex and the City sequel.
Ah, Brabus, the German tuning company that takes away Mercedes pension plan cars and sensibleness and throws it all away to create totally unplugged cars. So what did they use for a base now? Well it’s something completely not sensible. It’s the Mercedes SL 65 AMG, the Black Series no less.
