Yeah but the GTS is more suitable against the X6 plus the Cayenne is a very old tech now and the new one around the corner is bound to turn the tables for sure.

And the ML did great considering how old it is too.

Yes , but looking at the track layout, to me it looks like a track with many nice straight lines and Cayenne has a lot more power and is quicker than the X6. So, I still expect a better laptime for the Cayenne. If ML63 can do it so can the Cayenne too.

Yeah for a "Porsche" it should do better than this

I think the Porsche number is on a dirt track. And that makes sense on the dirt, its all weight that do the trick, plus the power distribution and few other factors but mainly weight.

So if it's on dirt track,does that make it a bad off-roader?

not really tarek. offroad in my case would mean dune bashing, which is not suitable for both X6 and Ml unless you are welling to loose a bumper or getting stuck on top of a hill. Neither the ML nor the X6 has the lower gearing + ride height control which are a must for such case. The case is different in some other countries though, where Mud is considered as off road.

Two of my favorite SUVS here, the X6 and the Cayenne....then sitting right below those is the ML63 AMG. Hard choice to make here. I really prefer the Cayenne GTS to the Turbo models.
