Long Beach has sputtered back to life in recent weeks, as crowds once again stream to its shores, but the Long Island community's hospital remains closed almost eight months after it sustained $20 million of damage from superstorm Sandy.
According to Edmunds, this is the fastest SUV they've ever tested, with only the Porsche Cayenne coming close. Sleek and sporty, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S has been a mainstay in speedy SUVs for years, and this model's twin-turbocharged, 4.8 liter V8 engine packs 550 horsepower for a zero to 60 run of 4.4 seconds. At a starting price of $104,700, it's one of the most expensive SUVs on the market.
The slowest SUV to 60 mph is the 7.0-second Lexus, while the quickest is the Escalade, which gets it done in a tidy 5.9 seconds. The Cadillac also wins the quarter-mile battle, doing so in 14.4 seconds at 96.8 mph, while the Lexus once again brings up the rear, running the quarter in 15.4 seconds at 90.8 mph.
