Watch a G-Class Fight a Toyota Supra in The Tug of War

We've always found something special about uneven tug of wars or arm wrestling. Probably influenced by the David and Goliath story, we are usually cheering for the underdogs in these types of competitions.
Not this time though, when we were obviously cheering for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class engaged in a tug of war battle with a modified Toyota Supra.

In yet another example of Russian ingenuousness of the vehicular variety, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class owner decided to pit his stock Gelandewagen off-roader against a modified Toyota Supra that looks like it came straight from the Formula Drift championship.

So, in one corner we have a rear-wheel drive sports car from the 1990s that may or may not have an insane amount of power drawn from its 2JZ engine, while in the other we have the venerable Mercedes-Benz G-Class, most likely in its G 500 guise, a 4x4 built in civilian form since 1979.

In essence, it's a question of rear-wheel drive versus all-wheel drive and three differentials, so the result is pretty obvious without even clicking play, but the way in which the G-Wagen wins is pretty hilarious.
