Mercedes-Benz AMG GT R Rental in Orange County
This matte green Mercedes-AMG GT R with a black interior is based in Orange County, the more distinctive of our two GT R in a factory finish named for the Nurburgring. People notice the paint before the badge, at a stop outside South Coast Plaza or on Ortega Highway. Book it when being asked about the car is part of the trip.
How It Drives
AMG built the GT R around a very long bonnet, a rear mounted gearbox and a driving position set almost over the rear axle, which is why it feels so different from anything else in our fleet. A 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 sends 577 horsepower to the rear wheels only, so traction on the tighter turns of Santiago Canyon Road is something you manage rather than something the car hands you. Sixty comes up in 3.5 seconds. Rear wheel steering helps it turn, and an active aerodynamic panel underneath deploys at speed to add downforce. It is stiff, loud, and it is the most engaging car we run under the Mercedes badge.
How It Photographs
The matte green is a factory AMG colour named after the Nurburgring, and it is the single most distinctive finish in our fleet. Matte paint does not throw reflections, so the bodywork stays legible in direct sun along Santiago Canyon Road where a gloss car would turn into a mirror, and every crease along the long bonnet holds its line. Shoot it low from the front three quarter to use the full length. The fixed rear wing and the vertical bar grille are the other two details worth a close frame. Nobody who sees this car fails to ask what colour it is.
Why This One
The matte green is the reason to book this car over our blue GT R, and it is the most distinctive finish in our entire Mercedes-Benz fleet. Matte does not mirror its surroundings, so the bodywork stays legible in direct sun where the gloss blue car turns reflective, and nobody who sees it fails to ask about the colour. The two cars run the same rate and the same chassis underneath, so the finish is the entire decision between them. Choose this one when being asked about the car is part of what you booked it for.
What's On This One
This is the AMG GT R trim in matte green over black, one of two GT R in our Orange County fleet. It runs a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels only, with a 3.5 second run to sixty. Two seats, rear wheel drive, and a nine stage traction control dial on the centre console that is standard to this trim. Rear wheel steering and an active underbody aero panel are standard as well. The matte green finish is a factory AMG colour and it requires different care than the gloss paint on our other GT R.
