Mercedes-Benz to Sponsor the Miami Beach Polo World Cup

Mercedes-Benz USA announced that it will be the official sponsor of the Miami Beach Polo World Cup - with the event becoming the AMG Miami Beach Polo World Cup.

The cup, which takes places on Miami beach, behind the Sentai Hotel, between the 22nd and 25th April, is the world’s largest polo tournament and it includes separate men’s and women’s polo events. AMG sponsors both the AMG Miami Beach Polo World Cup and the AMG South Beach Women’s Polo Cup. In addition to that, the company is the official sponsor of the AMG men’s and women’s polo teams competing in the 2010 tournament.

AMG will also hold a SLS AMG preview during the event, unveiling the 571 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque supercar before its market debut, scheduled for May. The Mercedes display will also feature a 2010 E63 AMG, a C63 AMG and a SL63 AMG. These three vehicles will also serve as test-drive cars in the AMG Drive Tour, also held during the event.

"Quite possibly the world's oldest team sport, polo shares many attributes with AMG, Mercedes-Benz's high-performance division that develops and manufactures new, exclusive Mercedes-AMG vehicles with its own unique team approach. The natural connection between AMG and polo has brought the AMG brand to polo tournaments in St. Moritz, Switzerland, a frozen lake in the Alps, the Island of Sylt, Germany and to the largest polo tournament in the world in Palermo, Argentina," said Greg Clark, Manager Exclusive Vehicles, Mercedes-Benz USA. "We are excited to expand this tradition with our new title sponsorship of the AMG Miami Beach Polo World Cup."
