0-60 pits Ford Raptor against BMW X6 M in winter issue

[ErikStenger]

The Ford SVT Raptor and the BMW X6 M are alike in that both vehicles represent the most extreme versions of their base forms. The Raptor, with its the triple-bypass Fox shocks and 35-inch tires, is a Baja-ready version of the F-150 right off the showroom floor. Meanwhile, the BMW X6 M is the 550-horsepower speed-demon version of the mild-mannered X6 luxury crossover. The two rides have little in common other than their extreme, top-tier positioning, yet 0-60 Magazine has found a way to put the two together for its Winter 2010 issue.

We don't know what the gang at 0-60 actually did with the Raptor and the X6 M, but the magazine has managed to slap together a teaser video to whet the palette. Hit the jump to watch 0-60 have a bit of fun with the X6 M and the SVT Raptor. And if you're not a big fan of the vid, you can simply sit back and enjoy the 1:21-minute excerpt of Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart" that sets the aural backdrop to the onscreen mayhem.

I don't know about the BMW but the F-150 has a 6000 pound towing capacity and a electronic rear differential that can be changed at ANY speed also next year there going to a bigger motor in the Ford

I don't know about the Raptor, but the X6 has a dual twin scrolled turbocharged engine putting out 555hp and a maximum torque of 680 Nm. 0-60 comes in at 4.5 seconds. In an SAV that is over 4000lbs. That's pretty damned impressive.
