Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 Rental in Los Angeles
This black Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 with a red interior is based in Los Angeles, the quieter inline six half of our AMG GT four door lineup. The long fastback and vertical grille read as a serious performance Mercedes at any valet stand. Air suspension keeps it composed in traffic, and four adults ride in comfort with real luggage space behind them.
How It Drives
The AMG GT 53 leads with comfort rather than noise, and that is the point of choosing the inline six over the V8. A 3.0 liter turbo inline six with electric assistance sends 429 horsepower through all wheel drive to sixty in 4.4 seconds, smooth enough in traffic through West Hollywood that it can pass for an S-Class at low speed. Push it into Sport and the shifts land quickly and cleanly rather than dramatically. Air suspension keeps the ride settled on the climb up Mulholland Drive without turning stiff, and the cabin stays quiet enough that conversation never has to compete with the engine.
How It Photographs
Black paint with a red interior is the correct AMG specification, and it photographs as a long, low fastback with a coupe roofline rather than a sedan. Shoot it from a low front three quarter angle outside a hotel in Beverly Hills or against the skyline in the Arts District downtown, where the vertical grille bars read clearly against the dark body. The red leather is the interior's whole argument, so open a door and shoot in rather than relying on the exterior alone. Black in direct Los Angeles sun wants a wash first, since dust shows quickly on a car this dark.
Why This One
This is our AMG GT 53, the quieter of the two AMG GT four doors we run and the only one based in Los Angeles. Choose it over the AMG GT 63 when the shape, the badge and the ride matter more than outright power, since the inline six trades some straight line speed for a genuinely comfortable cabin at $395 a day. It is also the AMG GT for someone who wants the four door body without the firmer, louder character of the V8 car. If the point of the booking is the engine note, the GT 63 in our Orange County fleet is the better call.
What's On This One
This is the AMG GT 53 trim in black over red, the quieter of our two AMG GT four doors. It runs a 3.0 liter turbo inline six with electric boost, 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, sent through all wheel drive to a 4.4 second run to sixty. Air suspension is standard on this trim and keeps the ride settled rather than stiff. Seating is four adults with a real boot behind them, and the red leather over black paint is the correct AMG interior specification for this body. It carries the AMG GT four door shape and grille without the V8 our GT 63 runs.
