Or mad, insane, demented, disturbed, affectedwhatever descriptor you feel best suits our diminished mental statebut we really like gigantic SUVs with way, way more power than sense. When most people hear the term SUV, their thoughts gravitate toward a vehicle Gen. Patton could have used to invade Sicily. Rough and tumble, live axles, Spartan, no frills, rudimentary, eventhe exact sort of vehicle a farmer might employ as a field hand during the week then use to run the missus to church on Sunday. The four maniacs in this test are not so elemental. No, these are the kind of sportutes Charlie Sheen would use to run his Goddesses down to the 2. Botox clinic while waving a bloody sword out the sunroof. Did I mention were not Consumer Reports Lets meet the contestants. In the light blue corner, weighing in at roughly the same poundage as a Ford F 1. Bavarian Bedlamite and original answer to the question no one asked, the 5. BMW X6 M In the dark blue corner, somehow, despite all that al u min i um, weighing more than the BMW, is the British Bruiser with its 5.

Aberration from Affalterbach, Germanys very own Attack Armadillo, the Mercedes AMG GLE6. S Coupe And finally, in the white corner, weirdly weighing the same to the pound as the BMW, is the Zealot of Zuffenhausen, the Schizoid from Stuttgart, the Swabian Screwball Im starting to sound like Spiro Agnew here, aint I, the 5. Porsche Cayenne Turbo SLadies, gentlemen, start your lithium IV drip may the most ridiculous thing win The odds of any of these four ever leaving pavement are similar to the same happening in a Ferrari. Despite that, each of these crazed beasts is surprisingly competent in the dirt. But what do they win exactly, and exactly how do they win it After all, were talking about SUVs that make supercar levels of power and provide sports car levels of performance, all the while offering slightly more utility than a sedan but way less bad road capability than your fathers notion of a traditional SUV. Plus, they cost a fortune. The lowest priced ride here is the X6 M at 1. Porsche kicks the sticker up to a dazzling 1. Yes, we could have ordered leather covered air vents, among other must have Porsche Exclusive options. Were not going to conduct this comparison test as if these SUVs are in any way normal. Because they aint. I suppose you could pick your kids up from soccer practice with any of them. But wouldnt you rather rob a bank Any of these would make a magnificent getaway vehicle. So thats exactly how were going to judge them. Outright acceleration counts, but so does handling, road holding, and my favorite, the fun to drive factor. In fact, that last bit is really the most crucial part. No one is buying any of these because any of their friends would ever describe them with the word sensible. Or wise, come to think of it. No, owners of any of these four have been labeled fun at some point in their lives. NxRTogg/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Project M Turbo Mode' title='Project M Turbo Mode' />Not to mention frivolous, and quite possibly demented andor menacing. Point is, the fun to drive factor is being given much more credence here than in your typical SUV comparison test. Also, if we four judges find ourselves in any sort of a tie hint, hint, then well be forced to take these mouth foaming monsters to the Big Willow racetrack and let Motor Trends resident hot shoe, Randy Pobst, cast the tiebreaking vote. On your marks, forget to take your meds, goSure, the regular flavor X5 M and AMG GLE6. S would have worked in this comparison, but the twin hunchbacks of the Nrburgring are just that much more nuts. Lets take a closer look at the BMW X6 M. Now in its second iteration, the mighty Bavarian is making more power than before5. V 8 lunatic. So lets concentrate on the power. Whatever BMW is doing for anti lag, Porsche needs to reverse engineer it, like, yesterday. What power So said Scott Evans, who then profanely continued, The metric load of this thing hauls is ing incredible. Christian Seabaugh had similar feelings. Project M Turbo Mode' title='Project M Turbo Mode' />This thing is stupid easy to drive stupid fast, he said. Im not nearly as quick as the rest of the guys, yet I had a big, dumb smile on my face as I hugged the Cayennes bumper all the way down Mulholland. I suppose you could pick your kids up from soccer practice with any of these SUVs. But wouldnt you rather rob a bank The levels of grip on tap are equally impressive, as is the entire chassis. It has very good grip and incredible body control, Jason Cammisa said. Stability control stays out of your way. Thats seriously impressive on any modern car, but a truck Wow, kudos. However, Cammisas praise of the X6 M stops there. For one, he doesnt like the way fake engine sounds are pumped through the stereo. Google Hacking Database Cgi Proxy List'>Google Hacking Database Cgi Proxy List. Were hearing some German nerds version of a Star Trek era hydrogen fueled Segway, he said. The upshift farts are the only real engine noise you hear, and theyre absurd. Reimage License Key Keygen. Cammisa didnt care for the steering, either. It has no on center feel at all and no sense of straight ahead, he said. It does have reasonable feel in the corners, so if you pay close attention, youll know when you get to the limits. On the back roads, I liked the lack of on center feel. It made the X6 M feel much more darty and playful. Like a WRX addicted to both steroids and PCP. Cammisa found the BMWs ride very stiff, even in Comfort mode, and the interior sounded like a cacophony composed of tire impacts and cabin rattles. Seabaugh, however, saw it this way The ride is so stiff I hit a dip and whacked my head on the roof. But whats another concussion when youre having this much fun Excellent pointJason Torchinsky.

The 2017 Porsche Panamera Turbo may not hit the streets until next January, but weve already had the opportunity to go for a spin. And what a spin it was Porsche. Next up from our collection of high riding automotive oddities is the Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR. Allow me right off the bat to say whoa, man, who saw this coming What weve got here is nothing less than the first SUV any of us have ever touched that would much rather oversteer than understeer. Or go straight. Or off road. Or really, anything. Seriously, all the SVR wants to do is donuts. In a million or so miles of driving, Ive never experienced an SUV that power oversteers on dry pavement, Cammisa said. This is the 1988 Laurel Twincam 24V Turbo Medalist CLUBL, which means its a topoftheline C33 Laurel, and Im fairly sure it also means that it has Nissans.

Ive heard it so many times, and if youre into car culture chances are youve heard it to. Im talking about excuses My car is not ready for the track. This is positively ludicrous. Sign me upSpeaking of donuts, despite its all aluminum construction, the SVR manages to weigh a barrel of mushy peas more than the next heaviest rig here, the AMG 5,4. So yes, the Brit is the fattest in test. Combine the lard with crummy all season tires, and the handling isnt what it could be. Youre always waiting on it, Evans said. Brake early. Turn in. Then turn in some more because it didnt bite. Wait. Wait. Wait. Project M Turbo Mode' title='Project M Turbo Mode' />Easy into the throttle on the way out, or youll get big stability control intervention or, if its off, power oversteer. Questa Grande Font. Yes, power oversteer, in an AWD SUV. We really cant get over it. Said Seabaugh This thing is hilarious. Its so bad yet so good at the same time. We universally loved the Range Rover Sports ride, unlike the overly stiff BMWs. It floats down the road like a mini Rolls Royce air springs, hydro anti roll bars, and magnetic ride shocks will do that, Cammisa said.
