Luxury menswear brand Spencer Hart has collaborated with Mercedes-Benz to create a special edition CLS 63 AMG to display design philosophies of both brands. Unveiled at the Spencer Hart London Collections men show, the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake by Spencer Hart has been designed by Nick Hart, the brand’s creative director, and serves as an example of the AMG Performance Studio’s bespoke optioning program.
The car, which represents the first UK fashion collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, will be available for customers to order at an undisclosed price. The CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake by Spencer Hart features the luxury menswear brand’s signature color called “Nick Hart Midnight Blue”. Nick Hart has also replaced the traditional Mercedes-Benz chrome accents and wheels with subtle, dark finishes that give an understated feel to the car.
For the interior, Spencer Hart’s flagship store in Brooke Street has served as the inspiration, particularly the exclusive walnut paneled personal shopping area, dubbed “The Vault”. The special edition Shooting Brake model with dark Chocolate Brown Italian leather seats with contrasting Midnight Blue stitching, with the Spencer Hart logo on each headrest and Nick Hart’s signature on the center console.
“It seemed a natural fit to work on a car project with Mercedes-Benz. I have always been a fan of the brand and creating something that was uniquely Spencer Hart and ultimately cool as opposed to commercial, has resulted in something that both Spencer Hart and Mercedes-Benz are proud of,” said Nick Hart.
“Our AMG Performance Studio can create cars as unique as their owners, which is why we decided to show what can be achieved through this collaboration with Spencer Hart,” said Marcus Breitschwerdt, President and CEO, Mercedes-Benz UK.
