Can a BMW outperform a Lamborghini in this regard?
Are you looking for a coupe SUV that is both fast and expensive? You’ve reached the right place, as we’re about witness a drag race between Lamborghini Urus and BMW X6 M Competition. In a drag race, can BMW’s fastest Coupe SUV beat Lamborghini’s controversial Urus performance SUV? Carwow’s team went to an airstrip in order to find out.
The BMW X6 M Competition is more than a long name and polarizing design. The sculpted sheet metal hides a powerful drivetrain that includes a twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V8 motor mated with an 8-speed manual transmission. This transmits power via an all-wheel drive system. The 4.4-liter V8 engine in the X6 M Competition produces a powerful 617 horsepower (460 Kilowatts), and 553 lb/ft (749 Newton-Meters).
To great effect, this engine is also used in BMW M5 M and BMW X5 M. This BMW X6 M Competition weighs just under 5,000 lbs.
The Lamborghini Urus is a Lamborghini supercar that competes with the BMW. It has a more aggressive styling and a name to match the Italian supercar. The Urus is a part-bin special that pulls the best bits from the many brands of Volkswagen Auto Group. Under the hood, the Urus’ 4.0-liter V8 produces 641 horsepower (477 Kilowatts), and 627 lbft (850 Newton-Meters), of torque. The Urus has an 8-speed auto transmission and all-wheel drive system, similar to the BMW. The Urus, weighing 5,300 lb, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just under 3 seconds.
Which SUV will be the drag strip king, if they are equally matched? After a few close runs, the carwow team has finally found a winner.
