Mercedes-Benz Gifts Custom Mercedes-AMG SL 63!

Mercedes-Benz has been on a roll recently with some incredible collaborations, from teaming up with Goodr Founder Jasmine Crowe-Houston, for Mercedes-Benz Vans, to the iconic Mercedes-Benz Sprinter appearance in the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire movie, and the powerful Mercedes-BRABUS XLP Launch. Let’s not forget the fantastic 2022-2023 Friends of Benz partnerships that continue to inspire! Now, Mercedes-Benz Korea has added another exciting chapter to this list by celebrating one of the most legendary figures in eSports—Lee “Faker” Sang-Hyeok.

Last Thursday, Mercedes-Benz Korea presented Faker with a one-of-a-kind Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4Matic+ to honor his induction into the League of Legends Hall of Legends. Known worldwide for his unmatched skill and precision in the eSports realm, Faker’s legacy is now cemented both in the game and on the road. This bespoke vehicle was designed through the Mercedes-Benz MANUFAKTUR program, with his signature displayed throughout the interior, making it as unique as his career.

But this custom roadster isn’t just about looks—it’s powered by a robust 4.0-liter V8 engine that packs an impressive 585 horsepower, delivering the same agility and precision Faker is known for in gameplay. During the presentation, Mathias Vaitl, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Korea, praised Faker as a true eSports icon, presenting the car alongside a bespoke art piece crafted specifically for the occasion.

This collaboration highlights the innovative spirit and creativity that Mercedes-Benz continually brings to the table, merging the worlds of automotive excellence and eSports in a way that speaks to both speed and precision. Just as Faker dominates the digital battlefield, the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4Matic+ is engineered to perform at the highest level on the road.

At Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, we’re excited to see this bold fusion of high-performance cars and gaming culture. Whether you’re a fan of eSports or a driving enthusiast, Mercedes-Benz continues to set the bar for unique partnerships that push boundaries and inspire innovation.

As Mercedes-Benz continues to build connections in various industries—from film to fashion to gaming—we’re eager to see what’s next. Stay tuned for more thrilling collaborations as Mercedes-Benz continues to lead the way in both luxury and performance!
