Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 43 Rental in San Diego
The Hightech Silver Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 43 with the black interior is based in San Diego. It is the current AMG GT coupe, a long-hood 2-door with 2 small seats in the back, and it is the car for the client day on the coast, the dinner at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, the Rancho Santa Fe driveway where a louder car would be wrong. It is delivered across San Diego, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
How It Drives
The engine is a 2.0 liter turbo 4-cylinder with a 48-volt mild hybrid behind it, 416 hp, and it is the quiet way into an AMG GT. The electric assist fills in before the turbo wakes, so the car leaves the line without the pause and gets to 60 in 4.6 seconds. The 9-speed shifts fast in Sport+ and sits in a high gear in Comfort. You sit low and far back behind a long hood, in the AMG seat with the badge on the headrest, with the portrait screen rising out of the console beside you. Rear-wheel drive, and the chassis is calm enough on the 5 that you forget the length. Take it down Highway 101 from Carlsbad through Encinitas to Del Mar. It is the car for that road at 45 mph.
How It Photographs
Hightech Silver on the long AMG GT body lives on reflections. In direct sun it goes to chrome along the fender tops and the Panamericana grille blends into the same tone, so shoot it slightly off the sun. In open shade it turns to a cool grey and the black wheels, black grille slats and dark glass become the outline. After dark it picks up every streetlight along the flank. The frame to take is the front three-quarter, low, grille slats filling the corner, coast behind. Shoot the AMG badge stamped into the headrest close. These photos were taken on a coastal overlook above the Pacific. Shoot it at the Mount Soledad overlook, with the whole coast behind the car.
Why This One
We run 7 other AMG cars, 2 GT Rs, 2 GT 63s, a GT 53, an SL 63 and the GT C Roadster, and this is the only GT 43 among them. In San Diego it is also the only AMG GT with 4 seats and a fixed roof. The satin silver GT C Roadster here is $895 a day, the older 2-seat V8 with the red top. This one is $995 a day with back seats. Pick it for the client day. Pick the roadster for the noise.
What's On This One
