These Are The Fastest Family Cars Ever

When you are looking for a family car, usually, you’ll look for an SUV, sedan, or something sensible that you don’t mind getting a bit grubby and don’t mind giving it a hard life of ferrying people around. Some of the best family cars include models like the Kia Telluride, the Subaru Outback, and the Chevy Suburban. While they all offer a lot of everything you need for a family ferry, they do lack something that a lot of family drivers miss: intense speed.

Roaming the wild are some insanely fast SUVs, coupes, and sedans that can all be used as family haulers. Yes, with intense speed often comes an intense price, but if you are looking for something that you can use on the track on the weekend and still get the kids to school, these models will suffice nicely. These are the fastest family cars ever made.

To give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturers and other authoritative sources, including RepairPal and fueleconomy.gov. Models are listed in ascending order, from the lowest top speed to the highest.

2025 BMW M5 (M Driver’s Package)

Top Speed: 190 MPH

Boasting a generous 17 cubic feet of storage space, 41.3 inches of front legroom, and 36.2 inches of rear legroom, the 2025 BMW M5 sedan strikes a decent balance between face-melting performance and being useful enough to run daily errands. Top-end materials wrap the cabin; you get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; a curved infotainment screen, which runs iDrive 8.5, takes care of the tech side of things; and safety features like lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control are all included.

Under the hood is a beast of a bi-turbocharged plug-in hybrid V8 that can shift out 717 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. As standard, this means you can hit a limited top speed of 155 mph, but if you opt for the M Driver’s Package, top speeds shoot up to 190 MPH.

Starting prices are high at just over $123,000 for the ‘standard’ M5, and if you add the M Driver’s Package, it will cost you an extra $2,500. We think that it is worth it for the higher top-end speed, plus, you also get a Racetrack Training Voucher, so you can put your skills to the test and learn how to drive at intense speeds.

2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT

Top Speed: 190 MPH

This year’s 2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT is an animal. Not only can you fit around 20 cubic feet behind the rear seats, sit comfortably with 41.3 inches of front legroom, and offer a decent amount of room in the back with 37.4 inches of rear legroom, but thanks to the insane engine under the hood, you can hit 60 mph in as little as 3.3 seconds.

The Avant GT’s power comes courtesy of a 4.0-liter bi-turbocharged V8 rated at 621 horsepower and 627 pound-feet, while the lightweight carbon fiber build (the RS6 Avant GT weighs 4,835 pounds, or 88 pounds lighter than the RS6 Avant Performance) not only means that it can shoot to speed like a supercar, but it is very handy in the corners.

Quattro all-wheel drive is showcased, but has been reworked to favor the rear, while carbon ceramic brakes handle stopping duty. A tweaked and stiff chassis means it is very responsive in the corners; adjustable coilover suspension paired with stiff anti-roll bars also tighten up cornering; and carbon fiber body panels, an aggressive front splitter, and dual-layer roof spoiler all shore up what you can do outside of doing the groceries in it. The RS6 Avant GT is by far the most track-ready of the already impressive RS6 lineup this year, but it is still well-equipped enough for some of the everyday stuff.

2025 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT

Top Speed: 190 MPH (w/ Summer Tires)

Blending reasonable daily practicality and intense performance chops, this year’s Cayenne Turbo GT is a force to be reckoned with. Starting prices are high at just shy of $206,000, but you do get a decent 52.2 cubic feet of storage space, a 40/20/40 split rear seat, heated sport seats, Race-Tex and Alcantara materials around the cabin, smartphone connectivity, four-zone climate control, oodles of safety tech, and wireless charging. Speed-wise, it is a beast. 0–60 mph times are as low as 3.3 seconds, while top speeds are a reported 190 mph, and if you fancy taking around a track, there is something to be said for an SUV that can set a 2:14.046 lap time at Yas Marina.

Under the hood is a 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 that is good for 650 horsepower, mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission and Porsche’s AWD setup. The chassis showcases PDCC active roll control; rear axle steering paired with PTV Plus torque vectoring tightens up the handling, and carbon-ceramic brakes handle the stopping.

To get the most out of the 2025 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, you’ll need to fit summer performance tires to the 22-inch wheels. It may hamper what you can do in the wet, but if you want to stretch its legs in the dry, it’ll be worth it.

2025 Ferrari Purosangue

Top Speed: 193 MPH

The Ferrari Purosangue is the illustrious Italian marque’s first-ever SUV, or, as they call it, an FUV (Ferrari Utility Vehicle). We nearly had a Ferrari sedan back in the ’80s that could’ve rebranded them earlier on, but they made us wait for models like the Ferrari 456. This time around, we have had to wait until now for an SUV. But, we say it was well worth the wait.

The demand for one is huge, and the Purosangue is reportedly already sold out for the next two years, and we can see why. Under the hood is a raucous, naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 that guns out 715 horsepower and 528 pound-feet of torque, which can get you up to speed in around 3.3 seconds.

We think that driving a Purosangue FUV will make you forget about your passengers in the back. It is made for driving fast and boasts electric-motor Multimatic adaptive dampers, 48V FAST adaptive suspension, rear-wheel steering, Side Slip Control, and a race-bred ABS setup. All in all, it is a racing family SUV.

With the Ferrari-bred track goodies alongside the insanely powerful NA V12, you’ve got yourself a family SUV/FUV that can handle the mundane well with 16.7 cubic feet of storage space, and handle the weekend track warrior stuff exceptionally well.

2025 Aston Martin DBX707

Top Speed: 193 MPH

Striking a fine balance between a family SUV and a luxury supercar, the 2025 Aston Martin DBX707 deals with the best of both worlds very well. It showcases 22 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, while, if you fold them down, you get a very generous 54 cubic feet.

Despite its luxury and performance breed, it is still relatively versatile and practical thanks to a flat-load floor and flat-fold rear seats. Plus, you also get 41.7 inches of front legroom and a very reasonable 40.9 inches of legroom in the back; it really is a very plush, family-useful SUV.

To handle the performance side of things, the DBX707 comes equipped with triple-chamber air suspension, an electronic anti-roll control system, adaptive suspension that alters damping in real time, carbon-ceramic brakes with 420mm front discs, and near-perfect weight distribution. Just to top it off, the DBX707 can also tow more behind it (with a braked trailer) than a new Ford Escape (3,500 pounds) and a 2025 Hyundai Palisade (5,000 pounds).

2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance

Top Speed: 197 MPH

With a starting price of $195,900, this 2.7-second sprinting, sleek, and exceptionally powerful performance coupe is well-equipped to handle the windy roads while getting your little ones to school in über style. The main feature that makes the GT 63 S E Performance such a beast is the handcrafted 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 mated with a rear-mounted 150-kW motor. This piece of AMG mastery can push out 805 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque combined.

Cargo space may be lacking slightly, with just 6.4 cubic feet available, but you can just about fit two passengers in the rear with 38.2 inches of headroom. While it can be used as an immense family car, it’s the performance it offers that makes it worth buying. It comes equipped with AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, so handling is pretty well taken care of despite its heavy weight (that can be blamed mainly on the hybrid system), while a top speed of 197 mph means there isn’t a huge amount that will keep up with you on the school run.

2010 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Top Speed: 199 MPH

This is the 2000s Ferrari you have been waiting to take a look at. Despite its age compared to others on our list, the 612 Scaglietti is still a monster of fun and is up there with some of the fastest family cars ever, with a top speed of 199 mph.

Produced between 2004 and 2010, this 2+2 coupe GT can be seen as a little more “value-for-money” compared to the others; with a current average auction price of $104,145, it is somewhat cheaper than the newer models we are looking at.

Inside, you get a reasonable amount of room for four adults (specific measurements have never been officially released), while the available plush leather trims, aluminum accented dashboard and center console, and the all-around touch of class that wraps the cabin make it feel like a proper Italian GT.

The real standout feature, though, is the 5.7-liter naturally aspirated Tipo F133F V12 that sits under the prim but heavily-discussed hood. It can rip out 540 horsepower at 7,250 rpm and 434 pound-feet of torque at 5,250 rpm, giving you respectable rest-to-60 times of 4.2 seconds.

2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid

Top Speed: 202 MPH (w/ Summer Tires)

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is the pinnacle of luxury hybrid performance sedans from the German marque. It does cost a huge amount of money, with an MSRP of $241,350, but it can send you to 60 mph in as little as 2.8 seconds and to top speeds of just over 200 mph. So, there is a payoff to be had.

The powertrain that is responsible for this is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with a 140-kW motor, and despite the huge amount of power available and the ridiculous sprint times, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid can still achieve a combined mpg rating of 50 MPGE. Which is not bad for a sedan that weighs in at 5,379 pounds.

The 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid also offers a decent amount of cargo capacity for when you remember that it is meant to be a family car and not just a track toy. With the seats in place, you get 15.2 cubic feet of storage room, but when you fold them down, you get a very generous 45 cubic feet.

2024 Bentley Flying Spur Speed

Top Speed: 207 MPH

There isn’t a huge number of brands that can compete with the luxurious levels of a Bentley, and the 2024 Flying Spur Speed is the ideal blend of classic British design and ridiculous performance. The ’24 Flying Spur Speed is a gargantuan machine, measuring in at SUV-like dimensions of 209.3 inches (L) x 87.4 inches (W) x 58.4 inches (H) and riding on a 125.7-inch wheelbase. It also weighs in at a very healthy 5,373 pounds, but despite this, it is rapid.

Under the hood is a 6.0-liter turbocharged W12 that runs exclusively on premium gas. This beast is effectively two VR6 mills stuck together and boasts VVT, direct fuel injection, and an adaptive tail pipe control valve system. In simpler terms, it can shift the massive Flying Spur Speed to 60 mph in around 3.7 seconds and shoot it all the way to 207 mph.

While this almighty W12 powertrain has been the lifeblood for Bentley for many moons, the 2024 MY will be one of the last models to boast it. So, if you want a final piece of British auto history in a very exclusive and impressive luxury sedan, now is the time to look for one.

2025 Koenigsegg Gemera

Top Speed: 248 MPH

In what can only be described as a groundbreaking hypercar that could change the face of family cars forever (if you have the budget for one, of course), the 2025 Koenigsegg Gemera is everything you could dream up in a far-fetched family hauler. But it could work.

The Gemera showcases four seats, all of which boast a decent amount of legroom and headroom; there are luxurious additions all around the cabin, such as four heated and four cooled cupholders; Wi-Fi connectivity is included; you get an 11-speaker premium audio rig; and an infotainment system with four screens takes center stage in the front.

It showcases dihedral synchro-helix doors that open upwards, it looks like a missile, and when it comes to performance, there isn’t much that can touch it. Under the hood is a 5.0-liter bi-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors, which, combined, are good for a maximum output of 2,300 horsepower and 2,028 pound-feet of torque. That means 0–60 mph times of around 1.9 seconds and top speeds of 248 mph.

The insane powertrain it boasts is a hot-V and is mated to two rear-mounted motors that can kick out 500 horsepower each, and a front-mounted Dark Matter motor that can shift out a whopping 800 horsepower. Plus, the 850-volt 14-kWh lithium-ion battery that it features doesn’t just offer power for the motors, but means you can drive up to 31 miles in all-electric mode. Creatively, that means it is also good for driving around the city.
