Luxury car makers are trying to target Gen Z drivers. High-end car companies are trying to grab Gen Z’s attention by teaming up with popular clothing brands. Lamborghini partnered with Supreme to drop hoodies, quilted jackets, t-shirts, and other items “splayed with the car brand’s glimmering gold-lettered logo,” while Mercedes-Benz collaborated with designer Virgil Abloh and Louis Vuitton to design a G-Class SUV. And in one of the “most extensive collaborations” yet, BMW and Kith teamed up for a 94-piece clothing and accessories line, a rebuilt vintage BMW M3, and 150 special edition sports cars.
