Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Fashion Selection 2011 Introduced

Using elements from the world of motorsport as inspiration for the latest fashion collection, Mercedes-Benz has created items that recall Formula 1 or DTM series. For example, the 2011 Selection comprises men's T-shirts in black with Michael Schumacher's name (also available for children), or in white and featuring Nico Rosberg's name, as well as caps in the team colours of grey/white/petronas green with the signatures of one of the two Grand Prix drivers, all bearing the MERCEDES GP PETRONAS logo.

However, clothing and caps without the drivers' names are also available. Accessories includes a lanyard with carabiner hook, a set of earplugs presented in an aluminum case, or a drinking bottle finished in matt black aluminum with insulating neoprene lid.

As for the DTM race series, which has been expressed in another selection of products, this also comprises a men's black T-shirt and a cap – each featuring a printed or embroidered DTM vehicle and DTM logo.

There are also three new watch models – two of which have real carbon dials, while the third is limited to 1500 examples – as well as a pair of high-quality Rodenstock sunglasses, a carbon-fibre ballpoint pen, a highly functional sports bag with toiletry bag, wash bag and shoe bag, a rucksack made by Deuter, a beach towel from Move, an innovative kite-shaped, two-person golf umbrella, seat cushions, wallets and children's earmuffs from UVEX.

And we finally get to the miniature race cars. One particular highlight is Michael Schumacher's Formula 1 car from the 2010 season, faithfully recreated in 1:18 scale. The 2010 season MERCEDES GP PETRONAS Formula 1 cars of Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg are also available in the popular scale of 1:43, while other 1:43-scale models include the AMG-Mercedes C-Klasse vehicles. The prototypical miniature cars are finished in the colors of drivers Gary Paffett, Bruno Spengler, Paul di Resta, Ralf Schumacher and David Coulthard.
