I apologize for calling this a Slow Utility Vehicle, it does have more horsepower than anything that I have driven. Center of Gravity Height appears to be 26.62 inches. That is actually not bad for such a tall vehicle. Still, it is high enough some sanctioning bodies might not allow it on track. The question is, how does it drive? So far the only BMWs that I have driven were 3 series. They had good handling. I see that this 567 horsepower BMW is quite fast on straights, but is it fun to drive? I would use the comparison feature, but unfortunately BMWs don't go all the way to the X5s.

So, has the new generation of X5 caught up with Cayenne Turbo S?

Well, the acceleration times tell that it aaaaalmost matches the Porsche. It's very close.

P.S. The new X5 is a big fat cow of a car. From rear and rear 2/3rds it reminds me of BMW Grand Tourer (which is not bad, btw)

With enough power, aerodynamic, or lack thereof can be overcome.

Big square SUVs don't have good aerodynamic properties for going higher than 300kph

A 700 horsepower Grand Cherokee would probably have a top speed of over 190 mph.

Rumor is SRT is going to put a 6.2L supercharged motor in the Jeep GC in 2016. AWD, 700 plus HP....

Would much prefer this one. Looks like a proper badass SUV.

If you wanna coupe, buy an M4 or something. Why bother with X6-M.

AWESOME!!! Definitely a contender for the world's fastest SUV.
