An unusual race, considering how different the chosen machines are: Mercedes-AMG G 63, Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4 Doors and Lamborghini Urus.
That is, we have an all-terrain “turned” absurd performance monster; the most powerful version of Affalterbach's super saloon; and a kind of missing link between the two, in the form of a super-SUV, as the brand calls it.
Interestingly, despite being so distinct, there is a lot that unites them. They all have four-wheel drive, they all have automatic (torque converter) gearboxes — Lamborghini Urus with eight speeds, the Mercedes-AMG with nine — they all have a powerful 4.0 liter V8 and two turbos.
The numbers debited, however, differ. The Lamborghini Urus debits 650 hp and 850 Nm ; the GT 63 S is a little lower in power, with 639 hp , but above in binary, with 900 Nm ; and finally, the G 63 “stays” for the 585 hp and 850 Nm.
The G 63 not only has the fewest horses, it is also the heaviest at 2560 kg, and being the “brick” of the group, it doesn't look like it's going to have an easy life in this race. What about the other two?

The GT 63 S weighs 2120 kg, has 50 Nm more than the Urus, and will certainly have an aerodynamic advantage, if only because of the much smaller front surface. The Lamborghini Urus has an advantage of 11 hp, which hardly makes up for the extra 152 kg of ballast, reaching 2272 kg.
