Land Rover Defender vs Mercedes-Benz AMG
The verdict
An SUV against a 4-door coupe - a 3.0L 6-cylinder in the Land Rover Defender, a 4.0L 8-cylinder in the Mercedes-Benz AMG. The Mercedes-Benz AMG is the quicker car of the two - 630 HP against 395 hp, and 0-100 km/h in 3.2s against 6.1s. On the numbers this one goes the Mercedes-Benz AMG's way - it leads on power, acceleration and top speed - and the Land Rover Defender answers on character rather than on the spec sheet.
