Scorpio was not able get traction and the tyre were slow and it had soon started spinning freely. For the third round, both the SUVs started pulling each other and Scorpio N pulled the older Scorpio so hard that, it almost ended up in the farm.

Vlogger mentioned that both Scorpio N and the older Scorpio had enought power and torque. The reason why Scorpio had an advantage in the first round was because of the way power in delivered in both the SUVs. In Scorpio N, Mahindra has set a rev limited which does not let the driver put too much pressure on the engine. This thing is not present in the Scorpio. Scorpio N’s power delivery is linear while in Scorpio it is a lot more aggressive or crude. Scorpio N was announced as the winner in this tug of war.
