The “Cars” series by pop art pioneer Andy Warhol (1928 to 1987) is world famous. It shows selected vehicles from Mercedes-Benz and its predecessor brands in a striking, colorful rendering typical of the North American artist. The first of his motifs at the beginning of the picture series in 1986: the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” (W 198). In the Mercedes-Benz Museum, the artwork depicting the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL and the sports car will be on display in close proximity from 21 to 26 June 2022. The original screen print comes from the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection. The vehicle is provided by BRABUS GmbH, Bottrop, combined with the proof that this is the sports car that served Warhol as a “model” for the “Cars” series. The joint presentation is an absolute premiere. This is because the world-famous, iconic work of art and the vehicle itself have never been shown together before. The exhibition in the Atrium of the Mercedes-Benz Museum is open to the public free of charge.
On the way towards electrification, the designers took on the challenge of transferring the new spindle design to the RX. The integration of the radiator grille in the front end has been optimized. It conveys a feeling of electrified power and contributes to the low visual center of gravity. More compact and sharper headlights, air intakes and a wider track (+ 15 mm) also underline the sovereign and self-confident look. The longer bonnet, a 60 mm longer wheelbase and the 10 mm lower roof line all contribute to the striking look and a slimmer line overall. The characteristic black rear pillar - the so-called "floating roof" that gives the vehicle a coupe-like appearance - now appears more three-dimensional, while the characteristic rising lower side line and the large 21-inch wheels make the RX appear even more dynamic. The four-projector LED headlights are now slimmer and sharper and positioned more horizontally. Their design, accentuated by the L-shaped daytime running lights, ensures a powerful look. At the rear, the light bar, which extends the full width of the vehicle, emphasizes the iconic shape of the RX, while the wider track (+ 40 mm) reinforces its presence on the road. The new LEXUS lettering on the tailgate ensures a clear and modern appearance.
