Mercedes-Amg Joins Forces With Rugby Stars to Offer Top-Tier Performance
Mercedes-AMG has partnered with South African rugby stars Lukhanyo Am and Makazole Mapimpi to provide them with the latest generation of the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC. As the newest members of Mercedes-Benz South Africa’s Friends of the Brand program, the players will each drive a C 43 for the next year.
Am will collaborate with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, while Mapimpi will serve as an ambassador for the Mercedes-Benz Cars division. In preparation for the Rugby World Cup later this year, the rugby stars hailing from Eastern Cape will use their newly acquired Mercedes-AMG C 43 cars to commute between home, Sharks provincial turf, and the Springboks training camp.
