I think 4.6L X5 will take the winner title for sure! AMG ML55 is just a bit too weak, probably it is tuned for comfortability, it goes even slower than the 4.4L X5 though...

Who is really gonna care when the Porsche Cayenne Bi-Turbo arrives =).... These things are seriously sweet, the exhaust is like 4x 1 Litre milk cartons. hehehe.

According to Mercedes Australia, 0-100km/h for an ML55 is 6.8 seconds. But that (as all Benz numbers are) is a concervative figure

I tell you though, the ML73 (Brabus) will own an X5 4.6iS ANYDAY!

OzzieBob:

Yeah.... ML73 will have 4.6L X5 anyday, but the price will be sky high and who will pay for this kind of car in Australia? Also there is no Brabus tuning house.. I meant Brabus Factory here in australia, so the resale value of that car will be really bad as well!

And when I think about it, why do we need a SUV to be fast anyway??? Don't get it though!

cheers,
