Renowned luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz used the Monterey Car Week to introduce the world to its latest concept car -- the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet.

German luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz has recently moved ahead into a new sports car segment with its new 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT.

Representing a new direction for the Mercedes-Benz performance division, the new two-seat GT - the second sports car to be developed in-house by Mercedes - will come with a price-tag of approximately $120,000 for the base model.

The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival heard this at the launch; ''We just want to raise the issue that we don't need to kill animals for fashion. There are plenty of other materials we can use instead of fur."

A veteran animal rights campaigner Crawford was found venting out her emotions and sensitivity to the animals.

In a move which marks Mercedes-Benz's efforts to ramp up a small-car offensive, the automaker is set to unveil its new compact crossover - the `GLA-Class' - at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September.
