Side by side comparison of the world's most powerful SUVs creates an expensive debate

These are two of the most powerful SUVs available.

And a side by side comparison generates an extremely expensive scenario.

Supercar Blondie’s Alex Hirschi put the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge up against the Brabus G800, one of the wildest iterations of the G-Wagen.

What they have in common is the eye-watering price tag, their murdered-out look and a lot of power.

The Black Badge puts out 600 horsepower, while the Brabus, as the ‘G800’ in its name suggests, delivers 800 horsepower.

Under the surface, a few things set them apart.

The Cullinan is big, ultra-luxurious grand tourer / SUV for the ultra rich, but it is somewhat understated.

Meanwhile, the Brabus G800 is louder, more ‘out there’.

The good news, as it were, is that the average customer can afford one, can also probably afford both.

So they don’t have to make that choice, do they?
