Maserati Levante S Rental in Los Angeles
This black Maserati Levante S, red leather interior, is based in Los Angeles, Prometheus Exotics' only Maserati SUV and the pick when the group is bigger than two. Black hides the SUV's height while red shows the instant a door opens. Press Sport and the exhaust opens into an Italian note nothing else in the fleet can match.
How It Drives
Leave it in normal and the Levante S is a comfortable, quiet SUV, the twin turbo V6's exhaust valves closed for a discreet note. Press Sport once and those valves open, sharpening the throttle and gearbox while the car settles a few millimeters closer to the road, and a second press stiffens the dampers if you want the firmer ride to go with the noise. On a run up Mulholland Drive that second press earns its keep, the air suspension keeping body lean in check through the tighter bends while the rear biased all wheel drive pushes the car out of each corner rather than plowing through it. Sixty comes up in 5.0 seconds, not a supercar number, but the sound arriving with it is.
How It Photographs
Black hides the SUV bulk and lets the shape read as sleek rather than tall, while the red leather shows clearly through the frameless glass the moment a door opens, which is the detail that makes this car photograph as an occasion vehicle rather than a family hauler. Shoot it at dusk on Sunset Boulevard or outside a Beverly Hills hotel entrance where the black holds its shape against the light and the red interior catches the last of it through the window line. The three portholes behind the front wheel are the Maserati signature worth framing close, and they read clean against black in a way they would not against a lighter color.
Why This One
This is the only Maserati SUV we run, and the S tune sits above the base Levante with more power and a quicker sprint to sixty while keeping the same air suspension and exhaust valve theater. Black over red is the boldest combination available on this car, hiding the SUV's height in photographs while showing the cabin color the instant a door swings open. Five real seats and a proper trunk mean it can do a job the rest of our fleet cannot, carrying a group rather than just a driver and one passenger, without giving up the sound and the badge that make it worth booking over an ordinary SUV.
What's On This One
This is the Maserati Levante S, a five seat SUV built around a 3.0 liter twin turbo V6 tuned to 424 horsepower and 428 lb-ft, sent through Q4 all wheel drive that runs rear biased until it needs the front. It rides on air suspension with adaptive Skyhook dampers and carries pneumatic exhaust valves that open in Sport mode for a louder note. Black exterior over a red leather interior, frameless doors that close themselves the last inch, and a 580 liter trunk behind the rear seats. Sixty comes up in 5.0 seconds and top speed is 164 mph.
