Since the launching of some powerful and sportive 4x4 vehicles.....and in the same way as the topic of your best supercar ever, i want to get your opinion about the best 4x4 for having some fun and some fast ride on a tarmac road or a race track, there you go a list of them

Merc G55 AMG
Merc M55 AMG
BMW X5 Le Mans
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Lamborghini LM001-LM002
VW Phaeton TDI V10
Range Rover Overfinch

Due to the charisma of the lambo(the acceleration either LM should give great sensations, once the LM001 had the Countach engine, and the LM002 the firsts Diablo engines)...i get the lamborghini as my favourite "super4x4" whereas the G55 AMG gets the second place for me once it has exactly the same engine as the SL55 AMG, and some modifications of AMG in brakes, suspensions........

The X5 LeMans is by far the quickest car in that lineup...so it would have to be my choice.

its a tough call... I love the X5 and Cayenne cuz they're uber fast... but he Overfinch and the Lambo would be much better off-road... Either the Lambo, X5, or Cayenne would be my pick.

When and if it will come out, I'd realy like too see it on the track against the Cayenne turbo.

It gives a good first impression once the shape is much more beautiful than the cayenne......the 4x4 will be lighter than the cayenne as well...see what happens with the engine, and the gearbox, differencial settings.....once for me the strong point of the cayenne is the gearbox, differential and suspension settings of it

BMW X5 LM is by far the fastest and has great off road capabilities and is one kickass sleeper

how many of those are actually 4x4 though most (if not all) of them have AWD so they wouldn't really qualify. I'd bring out the HUMMER and pull all your asses out once you get stuck in 1/2" of mud.

But out of those I would pick the Range since I've seen them in action and they are insane on the Land Rover tracks, they go up the hills faster than the Discovery's and Defenders.

1 Mile per gallon...that "thing" won't even have enough fuel to get anywhere. and with another 4x4 to pull,... -100 mpg?

Cool things though

My vote goes to the NEW Overfinch 580S

hand built 5-litre BMW-based V8
380bhp, 376lb ft...doesn't sound like much, but adequate
0-60: 7.1 sec
Polished wood panels, hand stitched leather trim, and ???Aerodynamic body work??? on a boxy off roader.

17mpg! get it right!
that's better than an H2 and half those trucks thanks to a Turbo Diesel and it holds 42 Gallons of gas so it can get where it has to before running out of gas.
And the HUMMER H1 is a real 4x4 not some AWD hopped up station wagon. :wink:

the GT700 is much better than a X5 Le Mans..... :twisted:

I would be satisfied with a stock X5 4.8is..... :D

My choice is the G55 AMG. But then again I hate SUVs, so I would love a Hummer H1 instead. Of course, I would never buy a 4x4 (unless I lived in the mountains).

the lambo is tight but not practical for everyday driving....if I had to choose one for off-roading and everyday driving it would be the Cayenne Turbo, no contest..

What makes you say that? The GT700 is a much heavier vehicle, and the X5 Lemans has the 700bhp V12 engine from the V12 LMR race car...tightened suspension 20" wheels and tires and incredible performance and sound.

Most of them are SUV's, barely capeable when it gets really rough.

If you want to talk about 4x4's that are really 4x4's then talk about: Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Landcruiser, Land Rover Defender, Hummer H1, Jeep Wrangler, and some other american 4x4's...

The range rover (not the overfinch) would probably out perform all of those you mentioned off road. It's insane off road, and you get to travel in class.

I'd take the X5 off the list anyday though, its a one off, so easily the rarest, and easily the fastest. Not road legal tho :(

erm...the range rover is not as good off road as the defender.....as the singapore Army uses them....sadly they're badly maintained.....anyway If u're talking abt the most durable 4X4 pickup then I'd pick the toyota Hilux..... :lol: :lol:

and how would you know? Driven both of them?? Use both of them every day?

Sure the defender is a more than capable off road vehicle, but the range rover is better

I would go with the Cayenna, I would like to say that im going with the Lambo LMA 002, but it just isnt that great... we'll 450HP [I think it has that much HP] is great but some how i dont like it that much.. :(

There is comin a new Cayenna with 700HP, I tink i heart that somewhere.. that would be even greater

the GT700 has about 200 more ft/lbs of torque and 22" wheels.

i love both. i think the GT700 looks mean as shit tho, like its going to eat you. the x5 = boring

besides, you can buy the GT700. same cant be said for the lemans x5.

The X5 Le Mans is a one-of-a-kind vehicle and it is not for sale. There are no plans to produce it in small batches or on a larger scale.
