Do you like coupe SUVs that a quick and expensive? Well then, you’ve come to the right place as we’re about to witness a drag race between the Lamborghini Urus and BMW X6 M Competition. Can BMW’s quickest Coupe SUV hold off Lamborghini’s controversial Urus performance SUV in a drag race? The team at carwow headed to an airstrip to find out.
The BMW X6 M Competition has more than just a very long name and polarising styling. Underneath the sculpted sheet metal sits a potent drivetrain comprised of a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission which sends power to the ground via an all-wheel-drive system. The 4.4-litre V8 in the X6 M Competition produces a stout 617 bhp (460 Kilowatts) and 553 lb-ft (749 Newton-metres) of torque.
This tried and true performance engine is also used in the BMW M5 and BMW X5 M to great effect. In the BMW X6 M Competition which weighs in at just over 2,400 kg (5,300 lbs), this powerful V8 can catapult it from 0 to 60 mph in just over three seconds.
