Virgil Abloh x Gorden Wagener - the G-Class reimagined as a one-off art object.

A one-off, non-driveable art car created by Virgil Abloh with Gorden Wagener that reinterprets the Mercedes-Benz G-Class as a race car. The bodywork is painted white and hand-sanded to emphasise its monolithic form; indicators, mirrors and bumpers are removed and a baby-blue safety frame, window netting and red five-point harnesses embroidered with the designers' names are added. Unveiled digitally on 8 September 2020; a replica was auctioned at Sotheby's Contemporary Curated for charity.
