It’s time for a three-way German SUV drag race!

We’ve got our hands on the BMW X3 M50, the Porsche Macan GTS, and the Mercedes-AMG GLC43, and we’re about to see which is quickest over the quarter-mile! So let’s take a closer look at the stats…

Starting with the X3 M50, it’s powered by a 3-litre turbocharged straight-six, and this creates 398hp and 580Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,980kg. As new, one of these costs around £71,000.

Alongside it we have the Porsche Macan GTS. This houses a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 under the bonnet, and this produces 440hp and 550Nm - more power than any other car here! This is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed auto, and it tips the scales at 1,960kg. New, it costs around £75,000.

Then, finally, we have the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43. Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, and this creates 421hp and 500Nm. It’s equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, which sends power to all four wheels, and it weighs in at 1,995kg. As new, it’s the most expensive car here, costing around £78,700.

So the Porsche has the most power, and it’s the lightest car here… So surely it’ll be a walkover, right?! There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
