It’s hard to imagine anyone who drives Aston Martin DBX and thinks “This SUV lacks power,” but don’t be naive here. At the Super-SUV echelon, the rights of seasoning as important – if not more – than the problem of practicality, and so the DBX707 comes to claim the crown “supercar of SUV”. The real question is whether, in the process, the focus of Aston Martin on performance has set a six-point SUV from practical daily use.
It might sound like a ridiculous criterion, but it doesn’t make a mistake: luxury SUVs like Bentayga, take care, cullinan, and others are not able to sacrifice their uses too much. When you buy DBX, not, say, V12 Vantage, there are some practical expectations there too. No, for example, shake teeth from your family’s mouth when you knock on 0-60 mph 3.1 seconds.
More than just the supercar special
So, the strategies that apply to supercars – tune engines, tighten suspensions, generally change all of you up to 11 – Finessing requirements for SUV applications. In fact, while you might be tempted to dismiss DBX707 as the engine remap and body kit, the evolution becomes something worthy of $ 236,000 (plus a $ 3,086 destination of $ 3,086, and more like $ 290k for example Q Satin titanium gray you see here) Price tags far more than the number of parts.
Of course, yes, 5-liter V8 twin-turbo – is provided, because Aston Martin prefers not to think, by Mercedes-AMG – has been equipped with a larger turbocharger to help him easier. Calibration has been “completely revised,” according to Andy Tokley, a senior vehicle engineering manager for DBX, so it lifts it “above and beyond other applications of this machine.” As a result, there are now 697 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, both of which encourage DBX707 to the segment.
The peak torque arrived faster, with only 2,600 rpm. The result is not only that matches the 0-60 mph class in 3.1 seconds, but 0-100 mph in 7.4 seconds, and the highest speed tickles up to 193 mph.
Torque where you need it, when you need it
The back gets a new e-differential, upgraded to handle extra torque involved, with steps in the locking power too. It can act faster than standard diff suv too, making it faster to push strength between wheels. This is paired with a differential active serial programmed, which can push up to 50% of the power to the front wheel when traction requires it, or up to 100% of the power to the rear wheel.
Then there is a suspension and attenuation. Again, there is new software to go with hardware tweaks like the updated Valuer Damper, and the new hydrobush in front helps avoid the hole afterfect. You still want to avoid it for the sake of a $ 5,700 23-inch wheel – an increase in a standard version of 22 inches, and which ones use special compound tires, specifically formulated by Pirelli so that it is considered to be assessed by 193 mph rather than 186 mph more generally – but non-messy asphalt It should not be a cabin shaker again. A 16mm increase in the back track contributes there too.
