OK So here is the Renault Espace F1

800+bhp

Seriously.

Anyone has something better?

Production SUV BHP...not much beats the ML55 AMG
Tuned...Supercharged BMW X5 4.8iS- over 800 crank BHP
And thats not an SUV, its a 'MPV' or 'People Carrier'

I know that there's an SUV-modeled Porsche, but not sure what's the brand. I saw it on the movie "Cellular", the car that Kim Basinger drives in.

Jeep's making a 500hp Cherokee which'll probably wind up being the fastest production SUV. Minivans are nice though.

That sounds very ... unbelievable ... Link ?

Why would you buy or even think of making a SUV or van with more than 250kw :S

You sure it's 500hp? I know there's the Grand Cherokee SRT-8, which uses Chrysler's 6.1 Hemi (which makes 425hp).

Look what I've found

2004 Volvo XC90 PUV

650bhp supercharged V8

And this is the faster SUV in the world:

2004 Dodge Ram SRT10

155 mph

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 16 Dec 2005, 18:20

At first I was befuddled by that Volvo, thinking it had the Ferarri logo on the side. But it's a moose, which is pretty awesome.

And the Ram is a truck, man. Although, going off on a hypothetical tangent, you could probably drop the engine from a Ford GT into an Expedition, or the LS7 V8 (from the C6 Corvette Z06) into a Tahoe, or maybe even a Trailblazer. Either option would be a decent starting point.

Yeah I was thinking of its concept or something. The production one's not 500hp. If tuned cars count then Lingenfelter makes a supercharger package for GM big SUVs like the Escalade good for 500hp (and I remember a turbo package somewhere that made the Escalade sound like a jackhammer).

*edit* found video - Turbo Escalade

Have you guys seen that cool Range Rover Sport? It handles like a saloon.

GioDeR · Post by **GioDeR** » 17 Dec 2005, 03:01

Its this:

The Geiger Hummer H2
250 km/h mit 700 PS / 515 kW und 3,1 Tons empty!

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo with it's 450 bhp engine has a topspeed of 266 Kmh wich is 166 mph, and that is more then most tuned cars you guys posted,

And the Porsche is STOCK! ok it is the second slowest porsche

only the Boxter is slower.

but the great advantage of the Cayenne is that it DOES handle pretty good and I don't think I can say the same about the other SUVs posted

did you know the Espace is in Gran Turismo 2. i think in info it said it was used to transport F1 drivers or something.

"the most powerful suv, with perfect handling although it is very 'heavy'"

Why the hell does a police vehicle, a SUV nonetheless, have a carbon fibre hood?
