Saw both of these two today, the blue one was at the country club near my work and the black one was at the country club near my house. God, that makes me sound a hell of a lot richer than I am. Nevertheless, these are two vehicles I absolutely adore, but I’m aware that many of you loath. I can’t pick a favorite; all I can say is that I’d definitely prefer either of these two over a Cayenne Turbo or whatever that Jeep with a Hellcat engine is called.

Coming in at a base price of just over $110,000 and running a 550hp supercharged V8, it’s the Range Rover Sport SVR!

And now, the Russian oligarch’s favorite, costing almost exactly twice as much at $220,000 and packing an absurdly colossal 6.0 biturbo V12 making 621 horsepower and an almost unfathomable 738lb-ft of torque, we’ve got the Mercedes-AMG G65..erm...AMG. Benz. Or something like that. Either way, it’s badass.

The SVR is excellent, but bi-turbo V12, leather lined, $200,000 farm equipment wins hands down.

“Speed stripes” G-Wagon wins

I see two potential engine donors. The brake calipers are also large enough for some racing application.

SVR all day, every day. But in BRG.

The G65 is pretty great, especially with that V12, but considering the poor interior ergonomics, bouncy ride, and ridiculous ostentatiousness of the Merc, I would probably go with the SVR.

Also may I add that I’m a big fan of the X5M. People don’t talk about it much but it’s pretty awesome.

Indeed it is.

Fuck both of these, the hitler hummer in particular. the Grand Wagoneer is gonna kick both their asses, and the inevitable Grand Wagoneer Trackhawk with a Demon Hemi will kill them on speed. MOPAR OR NO CAR

I’d rather take the Land Rover so I can set the cruise on 95 and just enjoy the ride.

621 HP and V12 is very tempting though...

G550 4x4 Squared.

Because M176 engine and portal axles.

Good to see the shiller enthusiasm you brought first to Cadillac and then to Lexus has lost nothing in its transition to FCA. I can’t wait to see what will be the best car in the world next year.

I’ll take the RR. The G-wagen has this clout of certain clientel that I don’t like to work with.

It has to be the Ranger Rover. I could rock a Range Rover, but no matter how much I like the G-Wagen I would look way too much of a douche in one

I’d take the range. Driven a couple and those things move out.

I want the blue one.

Rangie. As cool as the G-Wagen is, it’s less of a performer on the road and a whole lot harder to live with.
