BMW X6 M, Cadillac CTS-V Wagon, and Porsche Panamera get dressed up in drag

Don’t worry, no one has manufactured high heels and extravagant wigs to place on any undeserving vehicles, but we have found a drag race that errs on the side of weird. Motortrend has taken a chance on a very eccentric review by pitting three out-of-place vehicles against one another: the BMW X6 M, Cadillac CTS-V Wagon, and Porsche Panamera.

If you take a look at the specs for these three models, a drag race may not seem too strange a task to undertake. The BMW X6M is powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 mated to a six-speed automatic with manual shift paddles that together produce 555 HP and 501 lb-ft of torque. It gets from 0-60 mph in a whopping 4.3 seconds. The Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon comes equipped with a 6.2 liter supercharged V8 engine that delivers a total of 556 hp and 551 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine can be coupled to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. It also does the 0-60 mph sprint in 4.3 seconds. The last awkward vehicle of the test was a Porsche Panamera and its 4.6L twin turbo V8. This engine produces 500hp and 568 lb-ft of torque when mated to a Porsche’s 7-speed twin clutch transmission.

We won’t spoil all of the fun and tell you who won this crazy race, but we will tell you that this video is a definite must-see!

I wonder what kind of cars they would pit against each other. Hmm, it would be interesting to see a Mini going against a Jaguar and a Bentley.

Well, that one is certainly one heck of a race. But it really is quite odd that they pitted three totally different cars against each other for this one.

Well, I find the video quite interesting! However, I’m cheering for Porsche. i think their car is the best option for car racing.

Ha, if it were more than that, I think the X6 would have actually won the competition (because the other two ran out of fuel). Pretty good race though.
