Mercedes-Benz S580 Rental in Orange County
This black Mercedes-Benz S580 with a black and red interior is based in Orange County, the S-Class built for the day when nobody should comment. Outside it draws no attention on Pacific Coast Highway or at a business park. Rear axle steering and air suspension shrink the car through tight turns for a board meeting, an airport pickup or an anniversary dinner.
How It Drives
The S580 leans on technology rather than power, and it is the most technologically dense car in our fleet for it. A 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 with mild hybrid assistance makes 496 horsepower, enough for a 4.4 second run to sixty without ever being the point. What you notice on the drive through Irvine and Costa Mesa is rear axle steering shrinking the car at low speed, air suspension isolating the cabin almost completely from Orange County pavement, and noise suppression at freeway speed that makes conversation effortless. Watch the rear wheels turn the opposite way on a tight U-turn and you understand how something this long parks like a much smaller car.
How It Photographs
Black over a black and red interior gives the most conventional executive exterior in our sedan fleet with a cabin that is anything but. From outside it is a long, restrained shape that needs evening or architectural light to show detail, and in flat daylight along Pacific Coast Highway it reads like every other dark sedan. The red interior is the differentiator, and it deserves most of the frames. Open a rear door, light the cabin and shoot in. This is the car for content where the vehicle should support the subject in Newport Beach or Costa Mesa rather than compete with it.
Why This One
This is the lowest daily rate on a full size Mercedes-Benz sedan in our Orange County fleet and the most technologically advanced car we run. Our AMG S63 costs more for a hand built V8 and a louder character, and either car seats five in comfort. This one is the same underlying S-Class platform at the lowest rate we offer on it, with rear axle steering and air suspension doing the work the AMG car spends on horsepower. Book it when the technology and the ride are the point and the extra V8 noise is not worth paying for.
What's On This One
This is the S580 trim in black over a black and red interior, based in Orange County. It carries a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 with mild hybrid assistance producing 496 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, sent through all wheel drive to a 4.4 second run to sixty. Rear axle steering and air suspension are standard to this trim, cutting the turning circle and isolating the cabin from the road. Seating is five with generous rear legroom. The red interior accent is a Manufaktur level specification, a step up from the plain black cabins on other full size sedans.
