Not bad considering that the X6 was up against performance version of the other 3. The X6 ///M will torch them.....Phil

Cool video, the X6 did fare well! I wonder why they didn't choose the X5 4.8i instead, as that would be similar.

The video seems similar to Top Gear with some corny jokes and their track driver, but Top Gear is still better.

Only 0:00.1 slower than the Cayenne turbo, and considerably lower price than all the rest... I call that the winner in my books. And if they did best time of 3 laps each it may have even beat that as he gained confidence in the rear diff

I do find it funny that the most powerfull and highest priced one of them all was hands down the slowest.

Ummmm...the 4.8i is not at all similar. It doesn't compare, performance-wise to the group and would be out of place. If an X5 was to be included, the closest competitor in the X5 line-up, since the X5 ///M is not yet available, would be the E53 4.8iS.

not only that, it's also has 100 less hp than the others. I noticed that the driver used the paddles on the ML, but not on the X6. I'm wondering if the X6 would have been faster if he did? Didn't see any paddles on the Cayenne Turbo.

I think the X6 just in sport mode would have been enough, but it would take the driver letting that x-drive and read diff combo work a little harder for him.

I guess you're right. I was thinking about it design-wise as the "sports activity coupe" design did give it a lighter weight and allowed it to go faster.
