The OCTA may fall marginally short of the G-Class' perceived opulence, a function of taste, but by any objective means it is at minimum an order of magnitude superior; it's nothing short of a masterpiece.

Defender OCTA, all day long. What an epic MACHINE!
It literally does everything magically.
Racing, Off-road, On-road, Mountains and does it all whilst looking incredible.
G-class is a poser.
Defender Octa can PERFORM!

[rafaelmoral]

For me I'll go for Mercedes Benz V6 seems more practical

as the owner of g 500 2022 and defender v8 5.0 2024, I will say that they cannot be compared.

The G class will always remain superior. I have both the G550 and the G63 and have taken on pretty much any car off-road worthy at least coming from the factory the only car I’ve ever lost to and off road competition was a trophy truck obviously seeing as they are around $500k-$1 million. I’ve course spent a large amount of money on aftermarket upgrades for my G class. I upgraded the suspension with dual Öhlins suspension As well as new coils providing a 6 inch lift and 35 inch tires as well as Hutchinson beadlock wheels… I also added the G class, professional roof rack and ladder as well as a steel front and rear bumper, including a top-of-the-line Warn winch. I also had custom fabricated, titanium control arms, as well as all the other necessary adjustments, like the Panhard bar, etc. needed to accumulate for the lift. I even had it coded in the military grade Paxcon coating Which was developed to mitigate shrapnel and smaller caliber bullets as well as mitigate explosions. I also added Baja designs, new laser, light bars, which I have to say are quite amazing. there are also several other upgrades I made, but I do not want to get into too much detail. Needless to say my next action would be portal axles portal axles in my opinion is the only true way to lift a vehicle. I happen to be an aerospace engineer, and actually developed and had several of the parts 3-D printed out of tungsten and titanium and continuous carbon fiber for some custom modifications I designed on my own. I even went so far as to add an advanced LiDAR system So I could get the exact Layout of the terrain up to a surprising distance on top of that I added Thermal cameras controlled by a joystick in the vehicle as well as infrared off-road lights and infrared picking up cameras all over the vehicle to be able to drive in complete darkness with no worry. Needless to say, I went quite overboard. Of course, this is not a fair comparison, but even stock I would easily still choose the G class. The only Land Rover I will ever respect would be the 90s style Land Rover defender, and even then you basically have to rip out the engine the transmission, the suspension practically everything but the body itself the 110 pick up version happens to be one of my favorite looking cars ever. Why did vehicles like that and the hummer decide to switch to all these fiberglass and plastic options instead of sticking to their roots with metal like the h1 alpha?
