Although some SUVs have morphed from everyday vehicles to high-performance machines capable of outrunning a sports car. After exploring the fastest production cars around the Green Hell, we now pay tribute to the fastest production SUVs around the Nürburgring.
Just after the reveal of its more affordable R2, R3, and R3X models in March, Rivian announced plans to rejigger its production capacity at its existing plant in Illinois, to accommodate the R2 electric SUV at that plant instead of an even larger one in Georgia that remains on the drawing board.
