This isn’t the expected purpose of each of these vehicles but none would be equipped with a ludicrous V8 underneath the bonnet if they weren’t intended to also give some supercars a run for their money. Watch as a Rubicon 392 vs G63 vs Defender 90 V8 go head to head in a drag race.

In Hagerty’s latest YouTube video, Jason Camissa gets the opportunity to show viewers which performance “truck” is best after pairing in a Rubicon 392 vs G63 vs Defender 90 V8 drag race. The Bronco Raptor, or Braptor as it is affectionately known, also makes an appearance but considering it is down on cylinders and inevitably power, the impressive utilitarian rig sits out for the race of the V8 brutes.
Under the bonnet of the Jeep is a sizable 6,4-litre (or 392-cubic-inch) V8 petrol engine, which delivers some 336 kW and 610 N.m. The German boasts 430 kW and 850 N.m from its 4,0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 while the Defender 90 is equipped with 386 kW and 625 N.m from its 5,0-litre supercharged V8.
In addition to proving the point of how ludicrously fast these models are, Camissa also puts the winner of the Rubicon 392 vs G63 vs Defender 90 V8 drag race against a Lamborghini Gallardo.
The results are closer than we’d expect but we know which we would take for a jaunt.
