SEVERIN WENDELER: ‘Play Beyond Limits’ - Mercedes-Benz & Hot Wheels, SMART #5 Summit – the new electric SUV as a desert adventure, and actor Thijs Boermans for NUMÉRO Netherlands

Where childhood dreams meet high-end design! A touch of nostalgia, bold color, and boundless imagination: with ‘Play Beyond Limits’, Mercedes-Benz and Hot Wheels open a new chapter in their Class of Creators series – transforming the new Mercedes-Benz CLA into a larger-than-life Hot Wheels art piece.

The campaign - shot by the ROOYTWINS - is a visual rush of light, movement, and emotion. The creative duo, known for their cinematic, color-driven imagery, merge nostalgia, luxury, and street culture into a powerful visual universe. Their work celebrates the unrestrained playfulness of childhood – and reminds us that we should never stop dreaming.
