It's a monster behemoth with appalling environmental impact. Is there a climate emergency at all?
BMW announces exclusive X7 Dark Shadow Edition
I actually really like these crazy SUVs, I remember when EVO took the first gen Cayenne Turbo around a track and was shocked it got really close to the lap time set by a 911. They really are a marvel of engineering, though actually a Model S is probably heavier than a first given Cayenne.
RR SVRs also have a road presence like nothing else, BUT sub 20mpg running costs means you need to insane to run one as your daily driver, which is what SUVs are designed to do.
EVs actually make SUVs so much more justifiable, our X has all in running costs of 3p per mile including tyres/fuel. I don't really buy the environmental benefits of EVs, but I am very happy with cheap running costs.
