DBX707

Award winning DBX gets an injection of power to create the most powerful luxury SUV on the market and boy does it look good on the road.

Pushing the boundaries of the SUV market, Aston Martin's DBX707 delivers a potent package of power, performance and luxurious quality. Starting from an award-winning, widely acclaimed base in the V8 DBX, the DBX707 has been precision engineered to deliver the fastest, most powerful and best handling version possible. Every area of this car has been enhanced to not only improve power and performance, but deliver an even more engaging driving experience and further presence on the road - not that the DBX needed much help.

Intent on crafting the ultimate SUV, the British marque has excelled in both design and engineering. Its performance is undeniable, but the ability to create an SUV that looks as good as it performs is often overlooked, fortunately not in this case. A striking aesthetic with vast, gaping grille to the front of the car complete with air vent chasms in the bonnet create an instantly recognisable appearance that will make anyone take a second look should they see it arriving in their rear-view mirror - probably very swiftly - and the theme continues along the sleek and smooth yet angular profile all the way to the rear of the car.

A dramatic rear-end enjoys aesthetic form and aerodynamic function in equal measure. Providing a sectionalised appearance with enlarged twin split diffuser housing the very vocal large diameter quad exhaust, the beautifully designed DBX707 features flowing lines at every angle, from the body to the distinctive and equally sleek light clusters. Blended into the boot flick spoiler, the lights form part of the physical aesthetic, accentuating the cabin width variation which becomes narrower as you move from the front to the rear of the car, while a new lip spoiler has been added to the roof wing to reduce lift and increase high speed stability as part of the aerodynamic improvements.

The designers have managed to realise an SUV sized car that is instantly and undeniably Aston Martin while providing aerodynamic features that are fitting for a vehicle of this calibre and simultaneously, all the functionality you would expect from an SUV. Not only creating one of the best looking luxury SUV's on the market, but aiding in the cars dynamic performance.

Dynamism and capability are at the heart of this car and it all started with unleashing the full potential of the DBX's 4.0-litre twin turbocharged V8 engine. Now featuring ball bearing turbochargers and a bespoke engine calibration, the DBX707 boasts even more power and torque. Paired with a new 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ automatic transmission that is capable of managing the increased torque loadings compared with a regular torque converter automatic, this high performance powertrain allows output of the 4.0-litre V8 to be lifted to an immense 707PS and 900Nm, an increase of 157PS and 200Nm over the DBX.

Not only does the transmission accommodate the increased power, but is able to deliver it more efficiently with much faster gear changes and more immediate and direct gear shifts. Should you choose to do the shifting yourself, you will experience much more control and responsiveness over the DBX. This faster shifting naturally improves the DBX707's launch capabilities, reducing the 0-62mph time to just 3.3 seconds and you can enjoy acceleration all the way to 193mph.

With such huge enhancements in power and speed, it has been necessary to ensure that the rest of the car has been equally improved alongside. As a result, you will find carbon ceramic brakes fitted as standard with 420mm front and 390mm rear discs that are gripped by six-piston calipers allowing for face-stretching braking performance. Not only that, but the high performance system reduces the unsprung weight by an impressive 40.5kg.

Optional 23in alloy wheels - 22in fitted as standard - bring additional dynamic benefits, with the larger diameter tyre offering improved steering response, better body control and all important improved lap times. Further engineering improvements also help including an updated electronic limited slip rear differential which has been strengthened to handle the full 900Nm of torque and features a revised (shorter) final drive ratio of 3.27 compared to 3.07 for the DBX V8.

Front to rear torque distribution remains fully automatic, with the ability to send up to 100% to the rear axle on demand. The e-diff has been carefully calibrated to ensure the DBX707 has the cornering agility, sporting feel and dynamic character of a true sports car despite its size. The integration of chassis and powertrain technology affords

“Right from its first introduction the DBX has represented Aston Martin’s dynamic and design values in a way that proves not all SUVs have to conform to the same compromises. With the DBX707 we have pushed the boundaries in every area to create a car which sets new standards of

performance and desirability. The fastest, most powerful, best handling and most engaging car of its kind, it propels Aston Martin to the pinnacle of SUV performance.”

Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Tobias Moers

the best handling balance possible at all times maintaining both traction and agility.

Of course a key component in any vehicle's handling capabilities is the suspension system, and the DBX707's exceptional agility is largely thanks to the air suspension setup. Retaining the basic architecture and triple volume air chambers of the DBX V8 - already regarded as the best handling SUV in the market by many - DBX707 has received a dedicated chassis tune which has been optimised to match the uncompromising demands and objectives of this machine such as new damper valving and re-calibration of dynamic spring volume switching to improve body control and steering response. The electronic power steering system has also been adjusted to improve steering feel, with greater effort build up off centre to help you get a clearer picture of increasing cornering loads and available grip and the result is impressive to say the least.

Responsiveness and control are unfathomably good with minimal body roll through cornering and lightning sharp shifts as and when you need them. Changes to the eARC (Electronic Active Roll Control) system have helped with this, offering revised parameters that heighten the sense of agility and improve the dynamic balance of the car.

You can alter the characteristics to suit your needs adding to the driver focussed credentials of the car with alterations and enhancements to the dynamic drive modes allowing you to affect the ride and shifting for a more 'relaxed', comfortable ride on your every day drive and a stiffer, sharper and dynamic drive when you want to enjoy more of what this car has to offer.

“Race Start” is available in GT, Sport and Sport+ modes to maximise off the line acceleration to truly showcase the enhanced performance and feel the full potential of the DBX707. These drive functions are easily accessible thanks to a redesigned interior space where the lower console features the drive mode selection switches as well as buttons for suspension mode, ESP, manual gear selection mode - which now actually holds manual like a sports car rather than defaulting back to auto - and active exhaust switch which opens the valves of the quad tailpipe system without having to switch to Sport drive mode. All of this removes the need to find options through the infotainment system making it much easier and quicker as a driver to make changes whilst driving, reducing the time you're attention is off the road.

Despite being quite openly a sports car to its very core, the DBX707 isn't just about performance. Fine finishes both inside and out not only hint at this car's luxurious nature, but punch you in the face with quality. Satin blacks compliment gloss black treatment on the outside, while interior features include a dark chrome finish to switchgear as standard or bright chrome and carbon fibre - for the ultimate sporty finish - options available for something different. The interior veneer is a luxuriously sleek piano black as standard, but the carbon fibre or stunning bronze metal mesh veneer options

are not to be ignored. Ideal for giving your DBX707 a striking interior aesthetic.

Options for Alcantara and leather or full Semi-Aniline leather sports seats with embroidered Aston Martin wings on the headrest and perforation pattern in the seat back and base cushion feature inside - with an optional 'comfort seat' if you prefer.

For customers looking to further enhance the exclusive nature of this car and create something truly unique, Q by Aston Martin the brands bespoke service delivers the ultimate in personalisation. Offering an extensive palette of options, from unique graphics through to tinted carbons and bespoke materials on both the interior and exterior, each ‘Q by Aston Martin - Commission’ car can push the boundaries of desire and is completely tailored to you, but the options on offer create such an inviting prospect to start with, you might just find everything you need.

There is little that can be said about this car that isn't immediately and abundantly apparent the second you lay eyes on it. It wears its performance, and luxury, very much on its sleeve and for good reason. It has a lot to shout about. Power, performance, design, comfort and functionality are rare to find in this quantity and quality on one single product, but Aston Martin seem to have found the perfect formula with DBX707.
