At the "Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo 2012 S/S," held from October 16th (Sunday) to 22nd (Saturday), a surprise collaboration vehicle was unveiled during the final day's closing show by mastermind JAPAN.

mastermind JAPAN was established in 1997. It is a luxurious casual brand that pursues functionality and comfort, utilizing high-quality, original materials. It is known as one of Japan's leading brands, communicating Japanese materials, traditional techniques, and high technology to the world as ready-to-wear fashion.

This collaboration vehicle is based on the "G 550 Long" Chrome Package, a representative model of the simple, powerful, and timelessly loved cross-country vehicle, the "Geländewagen." The mastermind JAPAN signature skull motif is featured on the sides and rear. The body color is Obsidian Black, complemented by a Chestnut Brown interior.

Adjustments are currently underway for the development of a production model, with an official announcement planned for the "Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo 2012 A/W" in March 2012.

This special collaboration vehicle unites Mercedes-Benz, a sponsor of Fashion Week since this year, with one of Japan's leading brands. Anticipation is already building for what specifications the production model will feature.
