The world of ultra-expensive SUVs is an eclectic one, filled with unique designs and powerful engines. In a recent drag race, a purple Rolls-Royce Cullinan with a Mansory body kit, a Brabus-tuned Mercedes-AMG G63, a Lamborghini Urus Performante Essenza SCV12, and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N faced off to see which would come out on top.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, with its 6.75-liter V-12 engine, certainly stands out with its vibrant purple color and Mansory body kit. The Mercedes-AMG G63, on the other hand, features a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine and a unique design reminiscent of a Pontiac Trans Am. The Lamborghini Urus Performante Essenza SCV12 is a special version of the Urus, with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 627 horsepower. And finally, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, with a price starting at $66,100, may not be as flashy as its competitors but packs a punch with its performance.
In a series of drag races captured by CarExpert, the lighter Mercedes-AMG G63 comes out victorious against the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The Lamborghini Urus, with its power advantage, beats the G63 in a close race. However, it’s no match for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which dominates all competitors with its impressive quarter-mile time of 11.32 seconds at 121.7 mph.
In the end, it’s clear that looks can be deceiving when it comes to performance. Despite their eye-catching designs, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Mercedes-AMG G63, and Lamborghini Urus are no match for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N on the drag strip. The Ioniq 5 N may not be as flashy as its competitors, but it proves that performance is what truly matters in the world of ultra-expensive SUVs.
