G-Wagon AMG G63 Rental in San Diego
The matte black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 with the black interior is based in San Diego. It is the box, the side-exit V8 and the door that shuts like a vault, and it is the car for the group arrival at the Hotel del Coronado, the content shoot, the birthday dinner in the Gaslamp with 4 friends in the back. 5 seats is what lets you justify it. It reaches San Diego, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
Need a driver?
A chauffeur is available on request for this car, so you can take the back seat and let the arrival do the talking.
How It Drives
Press the thumb button on the handle, pull, and the door needs real arm weight to close. The sound it makes when it shuts is a design feature Mercedes lists in the same breath as the spare wheel. You sit high and square with vertical glass on every side, and you can see all 4 corners from the seat. Press start and the 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 clears its throat through the side pipes under the rear doors. 577 hp, 4.4 seconds to 60, and when you bury the pedal the nose lifts and a beat later the shove arrives. The steering is calm, the 9-speed is smooth, the ride is firm on the big wheels. It does not like to be hurried in a corner. Drive it over the Coronado Bridge and into the Hotel del Coronado's driveway.
How It Photographs
Matte black takes no reflections, so the G reads as a solid object. In direct sun it stays flat and every seam, hinge and rivet line shows. In open shade it goes charcoal and the black wheels and red calipers merge into the body, so shoot it against water or sky, never a dark wall. After dark the round headlights are what you see. The frame to take is the rear three-quarter, low, with the spare wheel cover and the side pipe in the same shot. Shoot the exposed door hinge and the push-button handle close. These photos were taken outside the region, so put it at the Coronado Ferry Landing with the skyline across the bay.
Why This One
Matte black over an all-black cabin reads as a single solid object, in person and in every photo, with no reflections and no chrome. Under it is the hand-built 577 hp twin-turbo V8 with side pipes under the rear doors and a door that shuts like a vault. 5 seats and a tall cargo bay mean the whole group arrives in it. Based in San Diego, so Coronado and the airport are local deliveries, and it reaches Orange County and the Inland Empire. $995 a day with a $2,000 deposit.
What's On This One
This is the AMG G63, the AMG version of the G-Wagon with the hand-built 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8, 577 hp, a 9-speed automatic, permanent 4-wheel drive with 3 locking differentials, the AMG performance exhaust with side pipes, adaptive damping and the Panamericana grille as standard. This car is matte black paint over a black cabin, with gloss black wheels and red brake calipers, a black spare wheel cover on the rear door and black trim where the chrome would be. The exposed door hinges, the push-button handles, the indicator pods on the fenders and the passenger grab handle are the parts the factory kept from the original. 5 seats, 4 doors, a tall cargo bay behind the second row.
