PHTV Clip of the Day - SUV drag race
PH joins a drag race between mega SUVs; chooses one with biggest engine - right decision?
Not that long ago a sub-five to 60 acceleration time was the preserve of full-on supercars. Now you can do it in a two-tonne plus SUV. Progress of sorts and whatever your opinions of such vehicles a mighty impressive party piece.
So which is the fastest off the line? Simple test; we took a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, a BMW X5 M and a Jeep Cherokee SRT8, lined them up on a runway and awaited a green light for go. Did we pick the right one though? You'll have to watch the vid to find out!

I had this engine before and I thought it was 560bhp? Or are they known to run strong?
It was a powerful engine, but not a match for the Merc 5.5 biturbo for sheer brute force and face ripping pulling power.
I am really impressed that the Beemer performed so well against the Porsche, I'd be interested to see how they compare on track as it looks like BMW are gunning for the title of best performance SUV that the Porsche has had for some time.
I think it was Evo who recently tested the Cayenne Turbo S vs. X6M vs. RRS SVR and the X6M came out on top so yes, it does seem like BMW are winning the race at the moment.It was a powerful engine, but not a match for the Merc 5.5 biturbo for sheer brute force and face ripping pulling power.
