Super-SUVs are all the rage, and in many cases, they have replaced traditional supercars thanks to their greater practicality. They are a status symbol and every manufacturer wants to have one or more in their product range. In this video posted on Hagerty’s YouTube channel and hosted by journalist Jason Cammisa, The three hottest super-SUVs of the moment they go up against each other, with the winner facing off against the “control” vehicle: a Maserati MC20, a true-blooded supercar.
On the one hand we have the Aston Martin DBX 707, equipped with a 4.0 V8 biturbo engine of Mercedes-AMG origin, boosted to 707 HP of power. On the other side of the ring is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT: the fastest and sportiest Cayenne of all time is equipped with a 4.0 V8 biturbo engine of Audi-Volkswagen origin with a power of 640 CV. And the last contender is the Rivian R1S, an electric SUV with four electric motors and 859 hp of combined power. It is the most powerful, but it is burdened by its weight (its off-road tires.
The performance of modern super-SUVs directly rivals that of a supercar.
In addition, it has a top speed limited to 160 km/h by electronics. The result of the acceleration race is surprising, the Porsche Cayenne being the winner. Not for power or pure performance, but for traction. The Aston Martin is very close, and fails to reduce the lead gained by the Cayenne at the start. The Rivian R1S is far behind. But the Cayenne Turbo GT still has to face the Maserati MC20, its lightness and its 630 CV. Will he be able to beat him? For that, you will have to watch the video.
