What a rubbish comparison.
You take two comparable models with roughly the same engine, right?
There are plenty of those. A Frecale normally has fewer hp than a Levante, so why do a test like this.
That way you fail the test yourselves.
So dumb.....

This comparison falls completely flat — you're supposed to take two comparable models, aren't you? You pick a Porsche with 1,150 hp; that's ridiculous.

Seductive, efficient, full of torque, devastatingly quick (the Trofeo), comfortable, with splendid leather and carbon, magnificent and brilliant headlights — reserved for artists or demanding business leaders.
