Crossovers More Powerful Than A Famous Ferrari

Do you remember Magnum P.I.'s famous Ferrari 308 GTS? The famous red car packed 230 horsepower in the 1980s -- an amount that seemed massive at the time. But that's hardly enough by today's standards (most of which is due to the fact that cars are so much heavier). Even current crossovers pack more than that.
