Maybach GLS 600 Rental in Los Angeles
The Emerald Green Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 with the mahogany and cream two-tone interior is based in Los Angeles. This is the car for the people in the back, the airport pickup with real luggage, the multi-stop Beverly Hills day, the wedding party that needs 4 people to arrive together and step out of something. Delivery covers Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
How It Drives
Start with the quiet. The air suspension lowers when the doors open, the doors close softly on their own, and the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with its mild hybrid starts with a whirr you have to listen for. Put it in Maybach mode and everything softens for the passengers, the throttle, the shifts, the ride. The 9-speed slurs so gently you stop noticing it. Then Sunset Boulevard past the Beverly Hills Hotel at a cruise, where the air springs and the active body control read the road ahead and flatten it, and the cabin stays at conversation volume. There is 550 hp if the on-ramp needs it, a steady whoosh rather than a shove. The steering is light, the brakes are progressive, and 4 people in a 6,000 lb car arrive without a hair out of place.
How It Photographs
Emerald Green reads black until the sun finds it. Late in the day it goes bottle green along the shoulders and the chrome wheels and grille bars light up against it. In open shade it falls back to near black with green in the highlights. After dark it is black, so shoot it between 4 and 6. Take the front three-quarter with the grille and the hood star, the angle where the Maybach badges do their work. Open a rear door and shoot the mahogany captain chairs against the cream headliner close. These were taken on a Beverly Hills rooftop with the City Hall tower behind the car, and that is the location, green paint, palms and the tower.
