His car features a livery developed specifically for the DTM, which Mercedes-AMG Motorsport designed in collaboration with its official partner adidas. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 is presented in adidas Originals Blue, featuring the brand\u2019s signature three white stripes. The livery is inspired by the iconic shoebox of the sports and lifestyle brand from Herzogenaurach. \u201cThe adidas design is truly unique and immediately catches the eye. It\u2019s great fun to drive a car like this,\u201d says Lucas Auer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf #84 in febi livery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tom Kalender \u2013 still the youngest driver on the DTM grid \u2013 will compete in his Mercedes-AMG GT3, carrying start number 84, in a red and white livery created by spare parts specialist febi. The brand belongs to Ferdinand Bilstein GmbH + Co. KG and is part of the globally active bilstein group. febi is regarded as one of the pioneers in the international spare parts market. In the 2026 season, febi will make its debut in the DTM. For Tom Kalender, this marks his second DTM season in the Mercedes-AMG Junior Driver\u2019s still-young motorsport career. \u201cI think the design turned out really well \u2013 the colours go perfectly together and immediately stand out,\u201d Tom comments on his design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mercedes-AMG Team MANN-FILTER #48 in the \u201cMamba\u201d design<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jules Gounon will compete in the DTM for the second consecutive year with the iconic \u201cMamba\u201d. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 carries the number 48. MANN-FILTER has been involved in motorsport since 2012. The striking yellow-green design, featuring snakeskin motifs and sharp fangs, was first introduced in 2015 and has since become one of the most iconic liveries in international motorsport. \u201cI love the details of the Mamba. It\u2019s one of the most iconic liveries in Mercedes-AMG Motorsport \u2013 I hope we can make it even more iconic by the end of the year,\u201d said Jules Gounon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL #80 in anniversary design<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 #80 was further developed over the winter. Rainer Engel, the father of Maro Engel, who previously worked as a fashion designer, was also involved in the creative process. The basic colours remain the same, but the power and agility of the car are emphasised by the symbol of a cheetah \u2013 the fastest land animal in the world. The number 80, which is also new for Maro Engel in the DTM, pays tribute to the 80th anniversary of the lubricant manufacturer RAVENOL. The company, based in Werther, was founded in 1946. \u201cI\u2019m really pleased to race with a design that my father was involved in designing. That makes it all the more special,\u201d said Maro Engel.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe DTM is a platform where performance, brands and partnerships come together perfectly. In 2026, our four Mercedes-AMG GT3 will compete with unique designs that grab attention and convey clear brand messages. Together with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport partners adidas and RAVENOL, as well as team partners febi and MANN-FILTER, we will showcase different facets of our brand world \u2013 from modern streetwear aesthetics and classic motorsport DNA to artistic motifs. In this way, each car becomes a standalone communication medium and, at the same time, part of a consistent overall strategy.\u201d<br>Christoph Sagem\u00fcller, Head of Mercedes-AMG Motorsport<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/imp.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(26076934)a(2352007)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=396843&#038;a=2352007&#038;g=26076934\" target=\"_blank\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+uri+'\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" border=\"0\"><\/a>');\n<\/script>\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes-AMG Motorsport presents the DTM designs with which the performance teams will compete in the 2026 season.
