140 Years | 140 Places

Next on the global Mercedes-Benz “140 Places” Tour:

South Africa

Celebrating 140 years of motoring history with you.

The global Mercedes-Benz convoy has arrived in South Africa!

 

Fifty-five countries. Six continents. Sixty thousand kilometres — and now, South Africa! 

 

As Mercedes-Benz celebrates 140 years of innovation, we warmly invite you to an exclusive opportunity to get up close and personal with Carl and Gottlieb - two of the legendary, cross-continental S-Class sedans currently tackling an epic 50,000 km trek across six continents. 

 

This is a rare chance to engage with both the flagship long-distance machines and the international expedition crew navigating them around the globe. 

 

Catch the convoy live at the V&A Waterfront, 29 and 30 August, and at Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton, on Thursday, September 3rd at 5 PM, and experience the all-new 2026 S-Class — the absolute peak of luxury.

 

Plus, take a trip down memory lane with a stunning classic car display on Sunday, September 6th!

 

Follow Mercedes-Benz South Africa on social media and experience the journey.
