Raptor R vs Cullinan, Urus, G63 AMG, Escalade V, Range Rover — Cammisa Ultimate Drag Race Replay YouTube Video Description
The World’s Heaviest Supercars square off in this episode of Ultimate Drag Race Replay — with the brand-new, 700-hp Ford F-150 Raptor R racing everything it can.
This episode is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty
First comes the 682-hp Cadillac Escalade V, which makes some of the most deafeningly beautiful noise from its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan makes almost no noise as its twin-turbocharged, 6.75-liter BMW V-12 catapults it in outrageous comfort down the track.
The brand new Range Rover LWB P530 also uses a BMW engine — the latest version of the 15-year-old 4.4-liter N63.
Then, the 5.2-liter, supercharged Raptor R goes on to race the outrageous Lamborghini Urus and Mercedes-AMG G63.
This is a race to watch — to see if any of these heavyweights can dethrone the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, the quickest SUV or truck we’ve ever tested.

Raptor R vs Cullinan, Urus, G63 AMG, Escalade V, Range Rover — Cammisa Ultimate Drag Race Replay Automated Transcript By Speak
They say that wait is the enemy of performance. They haven’t driven a raptor. That thing will do a burnout on pavement too. And if you think that thing is brash, you haven’t heard a Cadillac Escalade V?
Hello? Right. Mhm. There way that God,
sorry if all of this Americana is too American for you. Well, the Brits have an answer. Hello, sir.
Good day.
Is this on?
I do believe so, sir, but I can’t hear it,
sir. It’s the same thing with this thing, British thing. Either way, each of these apartment buildings on wheels weighs £6000 and yet they’re all faster than the fastest heavyweights in the world. Or are they? You’re gonna wanna watch this one? The Ford F 1 50 Raptor car is the sort of automotive Swiss army knife that honestly shouldn’t be legal and probably isn’t in places like say Switzerland where the Swiss army knife comes from. But here it’s king of the road 700 supercharged V eight horsepower. Enough suspension travel to run over a supercar and a 10 speed automatic that bangs off shifts like a gunslinger from the wild wild West and multiple gunshots are exactly what the Cadillac Escalade V exhaust sounds like kids these days love their crackle tunes, but Cadillac has out deafened all of them.
This is one of the loudest production cars we’ve ever heard and it’s glorious and the engine is a full liter, bigger than the Raptors 6.2 liters of supercharged push rod V eight that makes 682 horsepower with the same 10 speed automatic as the Ford and weighing just one American sized passenger more.
This is going to be one hell of a race. If you expect the range rover to have the old timing five liter supercharged V eight, you’re stuck in the past. It has another ancient V eight BMW S 15 year old 4.4 liter now making 523 horsepower. And if you’re wondering why on earth a range Rover has a BMW engine in it years or decades after land rover and BMW broke up. So am I I have no explanation for this? It makes no sense but it does make a lot of power step aside all of you burbling peasant pleasing the eight because the Rolls Royce has arrived with not only the largest engine of the group at six and three, but the most cylinders 12 and two turbocharger shoved up its very dignified dairy air.
See it, it weighs exactly £9 more than the raptor. It weighs exactly the same as the raptor and now we need to find out whether it cuts the mustard
it.
Well, there are only two words for that. It’s holy and something I’m not allowed to say on youtube. Ok. The rap R allows full break torque and then explodes off the line hitting 60 in 3.5 ish seconds. That’s Porsche Carrera, Gt Terry. And that’s not the most impressive thing. The most impressive thing is how hard that V Eight pulls at the top end of the tack. I have never seen anything like it in a truck ever. This high rev urgency puts this thing on a different planet to the other cars. It crossed the line more than 100 ft in front of the Cadillac, which is even more insane considering that thing has already been sitting at its 112 mile an hour speed limiter long before it ever crossed the line. The Raptor Rs engine comes from the Mustang Shell BGT 500. But the Escalade vs engine sounds like it comes from hell, but it actually comes from the CT five B Black Wing where it makes precisely half as much noise. The V is about 5.5 truck lengths back, but it nearly matches the Raptors speed by the time it crosses. That’s because the raptor is pressing up against its limiter. But the caddy is still pulling hard.
Ultimately, though it’s already 7/10 behind by 60 miles an hour, which can’t be explained by its extra £215 an 18 horsepower deficit. The culprit, well, there are three of them. Number one, Cadillac makes far less power at the very top of the tack. Number two, its shifts sound better but they’re slower. And number three, gearing, once you account for the differences in tire size, Cadillac’s gears are about 15% longer than the raptor ares. The rolls Royce might not have cut the mustard but it did damn near keep up with that Escalade V the whole way down the track. In fact, once the two trucks shifted into second gear, they were separated by just 2/10 of a second the entire way down the quarter. And at these speeds that translates into a truck length and a half. So sorry, darling. Better luck next time. God, that never gets old. That is a hell of a performance considering a, it accomplishes that acceleration in near silence and outrageous comfort. And B it has a near 20% deficit in power to weight and you can blame that overachievement on the enormous twin turbo V 12 s perfectly flat torque curve or perhaps blame is to lie on the spirit of ecstasy located perfectly betwixt my thighs.
The range rover is the length of a city bus but weigh lighter than most. It’s the only car here to weigh in under £6000. It hurdles itself to 64.6 seconds but winds up 8.5 truck lengths behind the rafter. That is really not bad considering this is missing a mta’s worth of horsepower relative to that raptor. Hey, maybe that’s why they put a BMW engine in this thing. As always they overachiever.
Hm.

We couldn’t do this without you so the raptor can leave regular trucks for dead. But what happens when we pitted against heavy weights from performance brands? This is a Mercedes G 63 A G A shape that’s been around since the 19 seventies. It loves to almost pull its front wheels off the ground on a hard launch, which is only one of the reasons we love it. That is a Lamborghini Uris. It is the most successful vehicle in Lambo history selling almost as many units in five years as Lamborghini did all of its cars combined in the previous 50. Neither can match the Raptors 700 horsepower, but it needs to be said the little G wagon is £300 less and that positively tiny little Lamborghini Uris over there weighs £750 less. So what happens now find out
well done King Charles shall be most elated.
The Mercedes front end gets light on the launch, but the longer wheelbase Raptor just leaves the AM G for dead hitting 60 a third of a second. Sooner it continues to pull the whole way. Finishing well ahead of the completely lunatic AM G. Meanwhile, neither can come close to the Lamborghini uses its summer tire traction power and low ish weight to explode off the line. It doesn’t quite unseat our reigning SUV champion. This car’s mechanical twin, the Porsche Cayenne turbo GT, but it’s enough for the Lamborghini to finish even ahead of the raptor showing that lightweight matters, even when you’re talking about £6000 monsters. And by the way, a gallon of Gray Poupon weighs £9.5 but we emptied it for science.
Science.
So we should just ignore your copulate.
Shut up, Brandy. You.
