Aston Martin unveiled the quickest and most powerful ultra-luxury SUV in the world. Based on the brand’s lovely DBX, the DBX 707 sports nearly 700 horsepower.
New Delhi: Aston Martin unveils a new version of its first SUV. The brand unveiled the quickest and most powerful ultra-luxury SUV in the world. Called the DBX707, it is powered by a 697-horsepower turbocharged V8 engine. It has a base price of $232,000, compared to $200,000 for high-end SUVs.
The DBX707’s engine is largely the same as the one in the standard 542-horsepower Aston Martin DBX. It has unique engine tuning and different turbochargers, which force air into the engine to help it generate more power. The Tesla Model X Plaid, which starts at a mere $126,000 but is far more powerful at 1,020 horsepower, is not considered by Aston Martin.
Based on the brand’s lovely DBX, the company lists its competitors high-end brands such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan (600 hp), Bentley Bentayga Speed (626 hp), and Lamborghini Urus (641 hp).
Aston Martin DBX707: Key Features
- Putting this power to all four wheels via an all-new 9-speed “wet clutch” transmission, the DBX 707 is able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds.
- the 707 also receives significant upgrades to its braking, suspension, and handling—including standard Formula One–derived carbon ceramic brakes—which should make what we consider the best-handling luxury SUV even better.
The interior of the new SUV is as sleek and sporty as its exterior.
- DBX includes a more aggressive treatment of its body, incorporating satin gloss trim, a huge quad-outlet exhaust pipes, a larger iteration of Aston Martin’s signature hill-climb grille, and gigantic 23″ wheels.
- The DBX 707 starts at $232,000. Though this slots it nicely between the Bentley ($250,000) and the Lamborghini ($225,000), it’s well below the Rolls ($336,000).
- The DBX707 has more power than the Lamborghini Urus, which has a 4.0-liter V8 that can produce up to 641 horsepower, or the Bentley Bentayga Speed, which has a 626-horsepower 12-cylinder engine. It’s also much more power than the Rolls-Royce Cullinan with its 563-horsepower V12.
The SUV can jump from 0–60 m.p.h. in just 3.1 seconds.
The Aston Matin DBX707 will go into production by the end of March 2022 and will go on sale soon after that.
