THE WORLD'S QUICKEST SUVS: DRAG RACE! NEW URUS PERFORMANTE V MODEL X PLAID V X5M V TURBO GT V GLE 63 S

EV Channels Review

This video pits five of the world's quickest SUVs against each other in a series of drag races and a brake test. The Tesla Model X Plaid, with its staggering 1020hp, dominated the standing quarter-mile, completing it in an impressive 10.3 seconds. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT secured a respectable second place at 11.4 seconds, followed closely by the BMW X5M and Lamborghini Urus Performante, both tying at 11.7 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S trailed behind at 12.2 seconds. In rolling races from 50mph, the Model X Plaid again proved superior due to its instant electric torque. However, the Tesla's Achilles' heel was revealed in the brake test, where it significantly underperformed, exhibiting a soft pedal and instability, while the Urus Performante and Cayenne Turbo GT demonstrated superior stopping power. The reviewer highlights the Model X Plaid's immense straight-line speed but cautions potential buyers about its braking performance.
