Damn that's very impressive, I've seen a few on the road around here. How much $?
How would you like the be the Camaro driver that just got beat by a SUV?
Either way, awesome ride. There is a BMW dealer across from mine and I see those every now and again, very nice rides.

My old stock '03 Mercedes S600 was a great stealth bracket racer. Boring silver 4-door which would run consistent 12.42-12.46 @ 116. I expect new new 580hp S63 will be the same sort of thing.
Isn't this the same Suv that Top Gear couldn't get up the grassy hill, but the Rover simply drove past it and up the hill?
Makes me wonder what it'd run on a nice 55-60 degree evening if it ran that when it was in the 80's and humid.
Also,1.80 and 1.78 60ft times for a stock how many lb SUV? Damn...

In the 80's
And the Camaro got beat by .6. That's pretty substantial. Gotta love AWD. Both launched at about the same time but the BMW hooked much better and was gone. Camaro just couldn't catch him.
I've always loved the X5M. Too bad Jeep dropped the ball on the new SRT8 and can't compete with these monsters.
An intake ,tune ,exhaust and some good weather thats an 11 sec ride.
Iif you noticed on the run with the bad light, there was no one in the other lane. Just going for et, not worrying about the light.
It's my understanding that a its being tuned this week and should be back to the track if they don't get hit with Hurricane Irene.
i believe that was the regular X6, the problem is was tires, the x6 has a performance tire that just slides on grass where the Rover had a more all-terrain tire.
im not sure why they didnt make this clear on the show, or why more people dont realize that wide performance tires make for shitty grip on smooth wet grass.
Both lights looked slow, the first one was very bad though.
$86,575 msrp with base package. :lol1:
A $30K+ price differential makes it a little difficult to compete on all levels.
No that was the X6.
