Sportec Cayenne
The Sportec SUV SP600M hit 308 km/h (192.5 mph) on March 10 to break the world record as the fastest SUV. It also goes 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. The record speed was recorded on a circular track which is also much more impressive than a straight line type test. Pretty impressive for this well-tuned SUV.

That is one fast Porsche Cayenne, and looks good going fast too.

I like it...

Nice, but where in the U.S. can one regularly use such a fast vehicle?

How is that an SUV and not a wagon?

I mean, are we to believe that this thing has retained anything approaching SUV capability in that form? Don't get me wrong, I like cars and the speed-hungry sport revolving around them; but I don't see the point of this.
