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.

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.....

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

The X5 Lemans by far for me  The sound is just amazing....it looks angry.......and 700hp dosnt hurt either

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.
