It's here - Aston Martin has revealed the 193mph DBX707. (Guess what the '707' bit stands for...)
Aston Martin has a long, illustrious, and frankly excellent history of ludicrously powerful cars. The old twin-supercharged V600 Vantage was the most powerful car on sale for a period; the aftershock of a 725hp DBS Superleggera still hasn't really worn off; and the fact that a car the size of the V8 Vantage could ever feature a 5.9-litre, 600hp V12 remains barmy. Now
Anyway, the staggering results rather speak for themselves: with 664lb ft as well , the DBX 707 is capable of 0-60mph in just 3.1 seconds , 100mph in 7.4 seconds and 193mph. Supercar fast, basically, no matter the 2,245kg it has to haul around. Aiding the 707's acceleration is a new nine-speed wet-clutch auto, presumably as found in recent AMGs, with a shorter final than the ordinary V8's torque converter transmission.
The 707 also benefit from revalved dampers and"recalibration of dynamic spring volume"; alongside changes to the EPAS, Aston Martin is promising improved body control and steering feel. The electric anti-roll has been modified as well to the benefit of agility. It's also claimed that heave, pitch, and roll are now better controlled, which gives the driver"easier ability to adjust the yaw of the car with natural pedal or steering inputs.
Still, whatever those customers conjure up, they'll be working with a supremely handsome SUV in the first instance. Though clearly a more serious proposition than the DBX V8, the 707 offers pretty modest hints at its potential by the standard of super SUVs. The new front end benefits cooling of those monster brakes and the uprated engine, with double vanes in the chrome grille"to create more visual interest and make this range-topping model immediately identifiable.
