White Mercedes-Benz G 550 Rental Los Angeles

Name: White Mercedes-Benz G 550
Brand: Mercedes-Benz
Availability: InStock

The G-Wagen in black is a statement about money. In white it is a statement about weather.

Same military chassis, same forty-five-year-old silhouette, same doors that shut like a safe — but a 4.0-litre V8 that has stopped shouting, a body in white, and a cabin lined in red from the seats to the door cards. It is the G-Wagen for people who want the shape without the soundtrack.

4.0L twin-turbo V8 · 4WD

White Mercedes-Benz G 550 from the rear three-quarter with the spare wheel on the tailgate — 01The spare still bolted to the tailgate, where it has been since 1979, and a door that swings sideways rather than lifting.

Mercedes has redesigned this vehicle exactly once, and even then it kept the exposed hinges, the grab handle on the passenger side and the sound the door locks make. What changed underneath is everything else: independent front suspension, a modern V8, and a cabin that shares its switchgear with an S-Class.

In white it reads completely differently from the black AMG. It is the one that turns up at the beach house rather than the club, and the red interior is the joke it keeps to itself until somebody opens a door. Five seats, real luggage space, and a driving position high enough to see over everything on the 405.

In black it is a statement about money.
In white it is one about weather.

02Turbine vents lifted from an AMG GT, a grab handle that has outlived the army it was designed for, and red hide on every surface either side of them.
