Which SUV is the fastest performance SUV? Carwow organized a meeting with the best luxury SUVs to find out. They met on an empty airstrip. This drag race featured some of the fastest performance vehicles on earth, with representatives from BMW and Mercedes. Let’s now see which high-performance machines are the fastest in drag racing.
Customers who want the convenience of an SUV will love the BMW X3 M. Although the X3M has a lower center of gravity and is heavier than the M3 sedan it still delivers incredible performance. The S58 twin-turbo straight-6 produces 510 horsepower and is mated with an 8-speed auto transmission. Through the BMW X-Drive all-wheel-drive system, power is transmitted to all four wheels. This SUV can accelerate from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.
The Mercedes AMG GLC 63S SUV is a sinister looking one. The powerful twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V8 engine powers this SUV. It is mated to an Mercedes-AMG 9 speed multi-clutch auto transmission. Mercedes-AMG’s 4-Matic all-wheel-drive technology routes power to all four wheels. Mercedes-AMG claims that the GLC63 S can accelerate from 0-60 in just 3.6 seconds.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrafoligio combines the excitement of an Italian supercar with the practicality of an SUV. The twin-turbo, 2.9-liter V6 engine produces 505 horsepower. The powerful V6 engine is coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission. It also sends power to the road via an all-wheel-drive system. Alfa Romeo claims a time of 3.6 seconds from 0-60.
The Jaguar F-Pace SVR is finally here, an SUV that recently received a mid-cycle refresh. The supercharged 5.0-liter V8 motor produces 550 horsepower. The engine is driven by an 8-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive system. Jaguar claims a time of 4.0 seconds from 0-60 mph.
