Actros special editions – part 6

Series

Actros Racing Star 2018.

In the sixth part of our series, we look at an exclusive limited-edition model from Belgium: there are only 15 examples of the Actros Racing Star 2018.

Something very special in any fleet: the Actros Racing Star.


In Belgium, the design of the Mercedes‑AMG Petronas racing cars was also the inspiration for a limited-edition model that you do not get every year. It was already clear at first sight that the Actros Racing Star 2018 would get truckers’ pulses raised. The yellow stripes, which are reminiscent of the tyre branding of the racing cars, are eye-catching and also very different to other limited-edition models that are in the colours of the Formula One racing team. It’s instantly clear that something very special is on the road. It doesn’t just look that way, but really is that way: Mercedes‑Benz Trucks Belgium limited the Actros Racing Star to just 15 vehicles.


The cockpit also features colours known from Formula One.

Green seams, black leather.

The inside of the limited-edition model’s cab is fit with the finest leather and first-class accessories. Mercedes‑Benz continues the exterior’s clean lines in the interior, too. The black leather seats have been furnished with green seams and green edging. The colours can be found again in numerous other parts of the cabin: the foot mat, the door panel and the leather dashboard are also adorned with green seams. It goes without saying: the Actros Racing Star stands out in any fleet.
