Speed demons used to belong in low-slung, two-door coupes. Not anymore. Some SUVs are shattering expectations by combining utility with raw, unrelenting power. These beasts can launch harder and outrun exotics while leaving sports cars staring at their taillights. If you think an SUV can’t bring the heat, these ten will prove you wrong.

Tesla Model X Plaid

Electric cars are not always as slow as you may think. Model X Plaid catapults from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds—faster than a Ferrari 488 GTB. No engine rumble or drama, just pure and silent speed. Tesla’s tri-motor setup makes acceleration feel like a warp jump.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

In this Jeep, you can intimidate a cocky Mustang driver. It is a family-sized hauler that unleashes 707 horses and rockets forward as the lights turn green. That’s the Trackhawk’s magic! The car has a Hellcat engine, which is loud and powerful.

Lamborghini Urus

A Lamborghini in an SUV suit is huge. Urus is a car that takes Lambo’s raging bull DNA and molds it into a twin-turbo V8 monster. It only needs 3.1 seconds to hit 60 mph and roars with pure supercar fury. Unlike most SUVs, this one thrives against sports cars.

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat

On the one hand, it launches like a drag racer, and on the other, it still hauls groceries with ease. While some underrate this three-row seating ride, others know that it is a rocket. Under the hood, a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 churns out 710 horsepower.

BMW X5 M Competition

Precision. Power. Perfection. The only other P that describes the X5 M Competition is Predator—an autobahn predator. With 617 horsepower, it devours pavement like a sports sedan on steroids. BMW’s all-wheel-drive magic ensures maximum grip, which makes this beast as agile as it is brutal.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT

Do you know the Cayenne Turbo GT holds the lap record for SUVs? Proof that it’s no ordinary family hauler. Do not expect this SUV to lag behind on a track. 631 horsepower and razor-sharp handling combine to result in a ride that dances through corners like a sports car.

Ford Mustang Mach-E GT

It doesn’t growl, it doesn’t rumble—but it absolutely flies. The Mustang Mach-E GT shatters expectations with instant electric torque and scary acceleration. In a drag race, this SUV steps in to leave its gas-powered rival gasping. Nothing teaches that silence could be humiliating like this car.

Aston Martin DBX707

Elegance meets unrelenting power in the DBX707. Forget about the luxury of this car and focus on its domination. It’s a grand tourer at heart but a brute in battle, even against sports cars. A 697-horsepower twin-turbo V8 sends it screaming to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds.

Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S

The GLE 63 S pampers you with a plush interior while a 603-horsepower twin-turbo V8 waits to strike. This car’s refinement hides the madness beneath when it launches like a missile to the surprise of anyone who judged it poorly. You get elegance and power in one glorious package!

Rivian R1S

While this all-electric SUV is here to conquer trails, it’s also dominating pavements. The Rivian R1S is a ride that delivers up to 835 horsepower and is faster than many mid-tier sports cars. It’ll outrun them, then go back to shining in the wilderness.
