Fastest SUV

SteveKerr · 07-14-2003, 11:24 PM

I bet my firend 10 bucks that hte new porsche turbo Cayenne is the fastest SUV right now, is that true? He says the INfiniti FX35 is.. Is there any website where I can prove him wrong and me right? or am I stupid for makin the bet?

JewPac42 · 07-14-2003, 11:25 PM

Your friend is a fool. You should point out the FX35 isnt the fastest cuz Infiniti makes an FX45. But yes, the Cheyanne Turbo is the fastest SUV right now. Go to www.Caranddriver.com and check out the vehicle stats.

Does This count?

The Forester Turbo is fast4r!

micah · 07-14-2003, 11:32 PM

Yah saying the FX35 is fastest wouldn't make much sense, although it is a 7.1 second car.

The Cayenne turbo is the fastest and I think we all know that a certain Subaru is second fastest. Just google on "Cayenne 0-60" or "Forester XT 0-60" etc. You might not find the FX35 number outside the magazine, the review just came out, they were all busy testing the 45 first.

what about Typhoon?

VSM EXtasy · 07-15-2003, 03:12 AM

I believe lamborgini had the fastest suv. This was in the 80's though i think. It was the only suv to go over 130mph in hot desert in egypt.

IIRC there is a supercharged 5.9 Limited Jeep running around in the tens. There are some crazy ass Typhons too.

Is it really? I drove one, and it didn't *feel* like a 7 second car to me. And it didn't drive much different to any other SUV either. FX35/45 looks nice on the outside tho.

blue-sun · 07-15-2003, 09:30 AM

What about the Mercedes AMG SUV, i wanna say it's the ML35 or something like that. Aren't they very quick too?

The standard 35 only pulls 0.80g on the skidpad but you can equip it with the sport suspension and it pulls 0.87, not too shabby. My brother has one and it's a monster on off ramps. Not as confidence inspiring as a similarly performing car, because of course there's going to be roll, but nice.

an ML55. they're quick but not Cayenne/Cayenne-Turbo or Forester XT quick. In fact in the article on the Forester XT they mention that to get a 0-60 quicker than the Forester XT you had to spend $80K+. FYI, the ML55 and the BMW 4.6 SUV both are 0-60 in 6.1-6.2. Anybody who says the FX35 (and doesn't mention the FX45, 0-60 of 6.3) is the quickest SUV is teh dumb.

" Bridgestone Potenza RE92s provide sufficient grip"-car and driver i have no respect for them anymore

micah · 07-15-2003, 05:32 PM

Bit out of context.

Bridgestone Potenza RE92s provide sufficient grip for the FX to corner at 0.80 g and stop from 70 mph in 181 feet.

I've got more roll in my wrx wagon. We went to test drive a FX35 with the sport package a few days ago. It felt better around the corners then my wagon.

HekWRX · 07-15-2003, 05:37 PM

threadjack!

I saw my first Cayanne Turbo in the parking lot here at work. WOW, talk about unimpressive. I do not doubt the engineering put into the machine but I could not find a SINGLE pleasing angle. The VW version looks much nicer ironcially.

Aye. IIRC, it was said to be the fastest prodroduction truck/SUV ever. I don't know if it's still true, but it sure as hell is still up there.

Crippins! That aint good. No way an SUV should out corner a wrx.

I wanna "sport" package for my wagon.

Kostamojen · 07-16-2003, 02:41 AM

For the price of an FX45 you can get a Forester XT and make it faster than the Porsche in every cadigory
