Mercedes G350 vs Jeep vs NEW & OLD Defender: DRAG RACE!
Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/-help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
What happens when you bring together four of the greatest 4x4 off-roaders? You drag race them on tarmac, of course! …At least, you do if you’re Mat Watson!
So who do we have lining up today? First up we have Mat in the new Land Rover Defender, which is powered by a 2-litre turbocharged Diesel engine to deliver 240hp and 430Nm of torque. Alongside him we have the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, which has a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine which can put down 272hp & 400Nm of torque.
We also have a G-Class joining us (a G350d, to be precise!) which has a 2.9-litre straight-six turbo diesel to produce 286hp & 600Nm of torque! And then finally we have an old Defender, with a 2.2-litre turbo diesel which can only put down 122hp & 360Nm.
So how do you think this one will play out? The G has the most pulling power, but it’s also the heaviest (and not to mention the most expensive!). Or perhaps the all-new Defender will be able to race away to victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
Thanks to Nene Overland for lending us their classic Defender - www.neneoverland.co.uk/

So which car do you think snatched the win in the drag race? Let us know in the COMMENTS!
New Defender
hi carwow very cool
my leafblower
I think the G wagon won
G350d
That old defender being there is like me attending my online lessons...
bahahaha i feel ya
So you're old and slow?
@@EQUINOXexcell no. It's because I might as well not be there...
@@theodoredeverell3894 holy crap if you attended lessons you might be able to recognise a satirical comment when you see one.
😂 😂 😂 😂 Exactly me too
As soon as Mat realised he's not winning this "LOOK AT THAT OLD DEFENDER"
exactly!!! he is just throwing shit on the old one
Old Land rover Defender : 0 points. New Mercedes G-Wagon(G35d) : 2 points. New Jeep Wrangler : 1 point. New Land rover Defender : 1 pooint.
@@garage5125 he doesnt give a fuck lol
The old defender feels like a senior citizen when Matt says let the old defender catch up with us😂
It is Wat your mom said
To you
@@baysonmatlhava4067 no bruv. That's what your mum said to me.
I’d buy the old defender before the others though.
@@neilcamm4339 I’d have to swap it. Not with anything silly though
The Mercedes G Cross the line First!
g cross 😭
I agree
I agree
I agree

epic drag races-rainy weather. 2 ton+ cars drag race-shiny weather.
2ton+ offroaders*
I know right. Then when it comes to the race with the m5, E63, and the rs6, It rained. Carwow has the best schedules for drag racing😂
Sad that they didnt have a toyota fj cruiser in the drag. 200kw beast
Yianni: I have the fastest reaction time Jeep: I'm still in neutral...
@@naturallfun kzhead.info/sun/a7qHoJl9jXeOZoE/bejne.html hehe
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a Jeep. It's going to break one way or another at least a few times per year.
@I WANT ŞĘX !!! SEE MY VÌDEÓ !!! shut up bot
@@snakeeyes9246 less likely than new defender or g wagon
This was a super fun episode to watch! We need more behind the scenes like this.
That "oh no" part was so funny 😂😂 Great editing guys!! Thanks
The old land rover: “im just happy to be here”
thats adorable lmao
🚸
Old defender: Oh my grand son. You doing good in the breaks. 🥺
It will always be there. Even when the others are dead and forgotten
@@julianshepherd2038 How can a G waggen ever be forgotten?
The second that Jeep did the burnout , instantly won my heart.
The Jeep is my favorite 😎
@@vanderz1012 mine too!!
American blood running through its veins
And it's perfect for driving to the gay bar
The defender is my favorite
This was the most hilarious drag race on your channel 😂😂. Enjoyed a lot
6:24 start🔥
Here we go guys: The race of the fridges
Maguire is missing if it's the battle of the fridges
@@mosesnghipukuula3931 I swear😂
@@mosesnghipukuula3931 i was going to comment that mate, good humour
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao literally
For the old Defender in the brake test it was 1/2 brakes 1/2 wind resistance.
What you on about it beat the jeep.
@@winstonchurchill237 it's just facts
Atleast the picked a Defender model with ABS.
@I WANT ŞĘX !!! SEE MY VÌDEÓ !!! no
A brick wall is more aerodynamic
I just love every single video with Yanni and Mat no matter what they race, especially when they tease each other that much. I 'd watch even if they raced lawn mowers...
This was the best video ever. Hands down. Love the banter. But love the 100mph limiter even more.
That quarter mile seemed to go on forever with these cars 😂😂😂
It's the editing. The race's timecode is: 6:27-7:17 But it did not take 50 seconds but 15...
@@Doupik Yeah they have been stretching their videos much longer lately. Carwow videos used to be 5 minutes.
Lol
Fast & Furious style
Let’s try this: 911 turbo S vs McLaren 765LT
Turbo S won't stand a chance here ... 650HP vs 885HP ...
765LT will skin the 911 turbo S alive!!!!!!!
You guys have no clue, ill see you back here when the turbo s smokes the 765lt
i’ve been looking for that everywhere
@@wayre11 dude, it's not all about horsepower, have you even seen other races between the turbo s and higher hp cars??
whoever edited the 10:36 moment definitely needs a raise! that was one of the best tb phrases you caught Yianni with
Plot twist: that old defender was being driven by Mat's grandmother.
really i think your lieing mate
Nø
True plot twist: The background music was also used in World's Greatest Drag Race 10
I’m just happy you can still get an SUV with a tire hanging off the back
@I WANT ŞĘX !!! SEE MY VÌDEÓ !!! banana
Not really SUV, more like offroader
"You lost yanni" "Good observation mate well done" I can't 😂😂😂
I think this was the tightest drag race I've seen on this channel 😂
Hey Matt we need drone footage from above the finishing line to capture these close finishes.
The Jimny would give them a run for their money.
kzhead.info/sun/a7qHoJl9jXeOZoE/bejne.html xddd
It’s so cheap it only has to be a 3rd as good as them
You won't feel so bad when you scratch it when going off road, that's for sure.
@@FabioPereira I’d feel the pain just like if I were to scratch the g wagon. Jimny is the way to go
You mean a walk for their money.
It is now confirmed that Yanny & Matt has the best friendship ever
And the worst is Yanny & Daniel lol
Ever heard of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May?
@@aseelhaque yes I miss them
@@aseelhaque You’re gonna make me cry.
*Yianni
The most entertaining drag race by far. Great work everyone.
LOVE how they kept the camera at the finish for the old Defender….it took a while but it finally crossed….HILARIOUS!!!!
When you put defender to drag race, you should even try offroading in a m8 competition.
Agreed!
Yeah that's the point of this channel, they also dragrace delivery vans and semi trucks, but I like it very much!
@@thatswiss1385 I'm giving him ideas. Not criticising. 😅
Actually the M5 has 4x4, so you can technically off road with that, maybe M8 has the same 4WD system, so id assume you can also off road with that lol
@@pkingpure100 Not all AWD means it's capable of off-road, an RWD minivan too does better off-road than an AWD hatchback or sedans when needed.
"I'd rather have herpes than your accent" 👀👀
IM FUCKING CRYING WITH LAUGHTER XD
Minute?
@@rafeduddin9340 kzhead.info/sun/a7qHoJl9jXeOZoE/bejne.html hehe
@@massimolettuce 4:41
Damnnnnnnn lol
here in the US...just found this channel, omg i LOVE u guys!! so fun n hilarious! 😂 close one, but my vote is G wagon...good stuff, keep up the awesome-ness!! peace + love! 🖤
"Cause i'd'urt!" Wow, lots of good stuff there including the non-start start. Cheers chaps
This is most excited Yianni has ever been in any drag race 😂😂
5:27 Mat has no response other than awkward laughing, cause he knows the accusations are true. 😂
Honestly... This was the funniest one yet! Lol great job guys (and track personnel)
5:32 yanni getting ready with a race face Little does he know ‘he tried his best but didnt succeed’🤣🤣😂😂
timestamp 6:23 drag starts from here 8:40 rolling race starts here 12:10 brake test starts here
☝Legend here👆
The offroad vid was so messed up. I hope carwow knows that too
The banter between those two is probably more the reasons I watch these videos than the races 🤣
Omg, the fact that all of those cars were originally military vehicles just makes it more unique
The Land Rover (Defender) was originally designed as a farmer’s vehicle.
@@georgipartsalev6193 it was used for military purposes but yes the landrover vehicle has a whole was originally a farming vehicle
Laughed my ass off .... the banter between Mat & Yianni was the highlight of this drag race. These two guys share an amazing chemistry among them.
12:40 "Good observation there mate, well done" I died 😂
4:15 that "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" killed me xD
Really i can't stop laughing on how yani was so serious while on neutral and he's getting so ready to fly🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bantor was just amazing, almost craped my pants. "Are you from Surrey?" 😂
*banter
@@mateuszbrzozowski7940 thanks!
Matt we need a video of runners vs bicycles😂😂see who got better stamina people in bikes or on foot?
How would someone on foot ever win?
👾👾🛑
Anthony ! Like I said if they got good stamina...
@@Ouaziz186 But a bike is faster and it takes way less stamina. So how does that make sense still?
Anthony ! Nah mate I think you’re getting confused with a bike and bicycle
4:50 🤣🤣🤣
Love the banter.
Yianni is truly a LEGEND. He drags races vehicles in Neutral Gear. Huge Respect🙌🏼
😂
One of best episodes by far !! Good banter between the two
Hi Matt. Love your vids.I know very difficult but Ive always wanted to see all the 90s jdm cars from Japan's 300hp gentlrmans agreement but bone stock (impossible finds I know :( Supra mk4, skyline r34, Lancer Evo, rx7, nsx, wrx, 300zx always wanted to see a heads up drag race.
This one was so funny.. I like it when @Yiannimize is here.. 😂😂😂👍🏼
I laughed my eyes out with the "oh no" sound effect 🤣🤣🤣
Same me 🤣😂😅
3:16 today was the day i noticed that Mat Googled Google on his phone.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was chrome u bot
@@vivopencil7675 bruh no it wasn’t you see it in his search history
🤣🤣🤣
10:50
The best automotive /car / drag race channel on KZhead period.
The Jeep and the G! Awesome video
"I've got one GCSE... in Drama" Lol Yanni 🤣🤣🤣
"Private School Education" 🤣
Having driven the Jeep, I'm amazed you guys found three SUV's that are slower.
Old Land Rover: has less than half the power of the other cars Old Land Rover: *loses badly* Yianni and mat: 😱😱
Mat :- do u think u can win ? Yianny :- i gOt ThE cOLoR
😠😠
This video is precious AF! Great excitement! Great bromance! 😁 Do more ordinary car races w/ Yianny
Matt..is that a bronken screen protector on ur phone..nice line up...think the Gee-wag cross first
Stats table please!!! By the time referring to specs of the last car have long forogtten the first cars numbers
Suggestion try adding a drone to get a clear aerial picture of the winner
+1
"Me and the G me and the G me and Mr Surrey" Yianni look like a happy child.
Matt I’ve been asking a couple of times in the videos I watch from you to please do a drag race with a c300 rear wheel drive
"Land Rover for the Braking WIN" Hopefully he was talking about Braking not Breaking.
Thank you for adding the results in numbers at the end of the video
Actually one of the greatest carwow videos. Very funny and entertaining.
Oh God we met the classic Yanni, the car was in bloody neutral. LMFAO. I kept laughing for 5 minutes straight! LEL
Awesome Content, Always.. Lots Of Love From INDIA 😍
Yianni's Scream at the Bird Strike 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Considering the Jeep was on MUD TIRES, it’s clearly the fastest car in the drag race
The engine block would probably explode before the finish line.
Uhh yeah, no. For that matter, the G class should have its best engine, the AMG.
@@javierguerrero3196 yea and +40.000 pounds more, for that money you could buy 2 jeeps :D, and the g class is already 96k pounds, while all the other are cheaper and still almost got mopped by a JEEP
@@javierguerrero3196 this is not the G63 AMG, it’s the G350d
@@cyrus9162 if they removed the limiter of the Jeep it would have won both rolling races. i dont think the Jeep in the US has a limiter.
Hahaha! Herpes burn got me 🤣💀 Dayum!
This video is one of the funniest CARWOW VIDEO 😂😂😂
10:02 i literally spilled my drink 😂😂
Shouting out from Jamaica...yea mon!!!..carwow is di bessss
1:54 specialized in old Landrovers. Talking about the 2014 car, lol. Yeah that's old.😂
I think he means discontinued, because the Old Land Rover Defender was discontinued in 2016.
9:45 Mat Watson: I WIN 🥇 Seagulls: Am I a joke to you?
Wow. They're so good at stalling, A whole 5 minutes, that's amazing how they do it.
6:24
thank you so much, we all miss the time when drag races vids were 5 minutes long
@@anothermemelover6718 who is we ?
@@swiizzie5220 that dude and me
@@swiizzie5220 many people i think
@@anothermemelover6718 I think there were some nice bits of humour and chemistry between the three that makes up for longer drag races tho:)
One of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen you guys do
Another great vedeo but i prefer a older defender with a Perkins engine the same like on second generation of range rover 🤔
The one who is driving the wrangler: Lets race without arguing Mat: That is the RACE 😂😂
Is it possible that the Jeep was limited to 100mph because there's a menu selection for tyre type (off road?). Not sure about this, but the Golf7 has it too.
Wrangler man all day. The 392 is here now!!!
This was one of the more entertaining races in awhile. Win for you guys. 😂
I swear Yianni making the rubicon edge more and more forward with every push 🤣
5:33 Jeep: Neutral is Working Yianni: OH NO!!
Will wait for you to do this race again in the defender V8. That shit just stole my ❤️.
I love Matt's and Yianni's connection, watching them bullying each other just makes the video so much better
In this video, we learnt one more thing about the faceless driver His name is Rory!
Reid?
@@ronnymashaba1189 no bruh 😂 The faceless driver “from Surrey” lol, the one who speaks with a posh accent who we never see in the drag races
Hardworking, knowledgeable, polite, doesn't fuck around too much, my favorite character from the carwow cinematic universe.
Good videos but dragtimes are king now with brookes 👍🏻👍🏻
This was so fun 🤣👏💯
we need Yianni and Mat to pick cars without knowing of eachother what they picked and have the ultimate Yianni vs Mat stand off
Yeah maybe have a budget, Eg quickest car for 20k
We need Yianni and Mat and a third driver to make a TV series similar to top gear, I'd watch that over the newer top gear any day. Perhaps bring back prof green he was quite entertaining when he did a few drags races a while back
I’d take the old Defender in the last limited edition version with the supercharged V-8
But for off road the diesel would be better due to much better torque less electrics and less things to go wrong.
@@matty6848 that supercharged V8 has nearly 4 times the torque, from lower down too
You should drag race these beasts in a rather rough road.. wld be appropriate😎
the lovely Old Defender ❤️❤️❤️
