The verdict

An SUV against a sedan - a 3.0L 6-cylinder in the Land Rover Defender, a 5.5L 12-cylinder in the Maybach 57. The Maybach 57 is the quicker car of the two - 550 HP against 400 HP, and 0-100 km/h in 5.2s against 6.1s. The Maybach 57 carries on to 250 km/h, 59 km/h clear of the Land Rover Defender. So it splits: take the Maybach 57 for pace, the Land Rover Defender for the 5 seats it carries.
