This white Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 with a red interior is based in Orange County. It is the brightest of our five Maybach GLS 600 and the only one with a red cabin, booked for weddings and daytime events rather than a quiet transfer. Reclining rear seats and an electric step make a formal arrival feel deliberate rather than rushed.
Under the white paint this is a full specification Maybach GLS 600, so the mechanism is the same as every other one in our fleet, a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 with mild hybrid assistance sending 550 horsepower through all wheel drive to sixty in 4.6 seconds. What you notice first is the air suspension reading the road ahead of the front wheels and adjusting each corner before it arrives, which is why a stretch of Newport Coast Drive that would upset a normal SUV disappears under this one. The rear seats are the actual point, reclining well past a normal position while the cabin stays close to silent. You feel arrival, not the road.
White paint with a red interior is the brightest combination in our Maybach fleet, and it is what separates this car from the four darker ones based here in Orange County. Shot at the top of Newport Coast Drive on the way up to Pelican Hill, or against a Laguna Beach hotel entrance, the white body reads as a wedding car rather than an executive one, and daylight helps it rather than fighting it the way it fights the black cars. Open a rear door and shoot the red cabin with a seat reclined, since that frame is what actually explains the car. Direct sun is fine here, which is not true of the rest of the fleet.
Five Maybach GLS 600 live in our Orange County fleet and four of them are dark inside and out. This white car with the red interior is the only light one and the only one with a red cabin, which is the entire reason to book it over the others. It is chosen for weddings, daytime events and anything meant to be photographed in sunlight, where the dark cars read as corporate transport and this one reads as ceremonial. At $995 a day it sits in the middle of our Maybach pricing. If the job is a discreet airport pickup rather than a wedding, the black or grey Maybach GLS 600 is the better and cheaper call.
This is the Maybach GLS 600 trim in white with a red interior, the only one of our five Maybach GLS 600 built this way. It runs the standard Maybach GLS drivetrain, a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 with mild hybrid assistance, 550 horsepower, 568 lb-ft of torque and all wheel drive, seating four rather than seven. The rear compartment is configured as two individual seats with recline, heating, cooling and massage function, and a fixed console in place of a middle seat. The red leather is a higher interior tier than the black or grey cabins we also run. An electric running board lowers at the door on approach, standard to this model.
