This black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon AMG G63 with a black and red interior is one of six G63 in Orange County, the value pick of the black cars at a hundred a day less. It shares the group's 577 horsepower V8, with the lowest per mile rate of the six. The red cabin is the tell once a door opens, warmer than our other black G63.
The details are what separate a G63 from every other fast SUV, and this car has all of them. The doors close with a mechanical thunk Mercedes engineered on purpose and never changed, and there is a grab handle in front of the passenger that exists because the original G was a military vehicle. All of it sits alongside a 577 horsepower AMG V8 that does sixty in 4.4 seconds and a nine speed automatic tuned to shift hard in Sport. Head out toward Ortega Highway and the nose lifts before the shove arrives every time. It is a truck finished to the standard of a limousine, and it never lets you forget either half.
Black over a black and red interior gives you a G63 that reads as severe from the outside and warm the moment a door opens, which is a useful gap to build a shoot around near the Newport harbour or under a lit forecourt at night. Use the exterior for silhouette work where black keeps its edges, then use the red cabin for the close frames once the door is open. This car has the lowest per mile rate of the G63s we run, which matters if the plan involves real distance rather than a single location. The square shape stays the most recognisable profile in the fleet from any angle.
This is the value pick of our six G63s. It rents for a hundred dollars a day less than the blue car and the other black car, carries the lowest per mile rate of any G we run alongside the grey and the gold, and gives up nothing mechanical to get there. Same 577 horsepower, same hardware, same door. The only difference is the colour and the cabin. If the booking is about distance rather than about how it photographs, this is the sensible choice among the three black and red G63s in the group.
This G63 runs the standard AMG specification, a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 at 577 horsepower and 627 lb-ft, the AMG performance exhaust with side pipes, adaptive AMG Ride Control, and permanent 4WD through a nine speed automatic. This exact car pairs a black exterior with a black and red two tone interior, one of three black and red combinations in our G63 group. It seats five across four doors, with the three locking differentials and tall boot every G-Wagon in the fleet shares, and it carries the lowest per mile overage rate among our G63s.
