Aston Martin DBX707

BILLED AS AN SUV LIKE NO OTHER, THE ASTON MARTIN DBX707 DEBUTED WITH A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF BLISTERING PERFORMANCE, SUPREME DYNAMICS, UNMISTAKABLE STYLE AND ABSOLUTE LUXURY.

With the DBX707, Aston Martin has pushed the boundaries in every area to create an SUV that sets new standards of performance and desirability. “We applied an uncompromising approach to every area of the vehicle,” maintains the Gaydon-based luxury brand. “Our objective was to match immense performance with impeccable control and precision.” However, creating the ultimate SUV presented formidable challenges. To manufacture a car that sets new standards to distinguish it from its rivals required extensively enhancing and meticulous tuning of the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, electronic systems and aerodynamics. The most notable enhancement to the 4.0-litre V8 was the incorporation of ball-bearing turbochargers. Thanks to bespoke engine calibration, the twin-turbocharged unit in the DBX707 produces 115 kW and 200 Nm more than its standard V8-powered stablemate. The DBX707 blasts to 100 km/h from a standstill in a mere 3.3 seconds. However, it is as quick in the deceleration stakes as sprinting from zero to 100 km/h. Housed within the 22-inch alloys, wrapped in 285/40 (front) and 325/35 (rear) Pirelli P Zero rubber, stopping power is provided by front 420 mm carbon-ceramic brake discs, complete with six-piston callipers and rear 390 mm carbon-ceramic discs.
