Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon Brabus 700 Rental in Orange County
This black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon Brabus 700 is a full rebuild of the G63 by Brabus, finished black over black, based in Orange County. Widened arches and carbon bodywork announce it before anyone reaches the door, while the black cabin stays as disciplined as the exterior is loud. Book it for a shoot, a birthday, or an airport arrival where the build should speak.
How It Drives
Brabus rebuilds the G63 rather than adding parts to it, and the 700 designation is the metric horsepower claim, 690 in the number we use, up from the 577 a stock G63 makes. New turbochargers and a full engine management rewrite deliver it, not a software flash, so the pull is harder and arrives sooner in the pedal. Sixty comes in 4.0 seconds. Point it up Ortega Highway and the extra torque shows up out of the slow corners, where a stock G63 is still building boost. The frame, the differentials and the door sound are all unchanged, so everything that makes a G-Wagon feel like a G-Wagon is still under this one, just with more shoved through it.
How It Photographs
All black inside and out means the modifications have to carry every frame on their own, and on this car they do. The carbon bodywork, the widened arches and the quad exhaust read in silhouette, which is unusual for an all black build. Shoot it at night under the lit forecourt of a Newport Beach hotel or against the last light over the harbour at Lido, where the outline separates from the dark instead of disappearing into it. Get close on the Brabus badging and the wheels, since those are what tell a viewer this is not a standard G63. Flat midday sun is the one setting this car does not want.
Why This One
We run two full Brabus conversions on the G-Wagon, and this is the quieter one by colour. The Brabus 800 carries a red interior and close to a hundred more horsepower, so it makes the build known the second a door opens. This 700, black over black, keeps the discipline going once you are inside. It is the pick if you want the widened arches, the carbon and the exhaust on record, but you do not need the interior to keep making the point after that. Against our standard G63s, it is a rebuilt vehicle rather than a modified one, with replacement panels instead of trim. This is the Brabus we run for the buyer who wants the loudest version handled quietly.
What's On This One
This is the Brabus 700 build on the G63, which means the Widestar body programme rather than a parts list: a carbon bonnet with a raised powerdome, wide carbon fender flares, forged Brabus wheels, and a valve-controlled exhaust with a quiet mode built in alongside the loud one. Power comes from the rebuilt 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 at 690 horsepower and 701 lb-ft, sent through permanent 4WD. This car is black over black, with the Brabus interior treatment applied to a fully dark cabin rather than a two tone one. It seats five across four doors, with the same tall, upright boot every G-Wagon runs.
