Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

Compared to its 707 counterpart, the Aston Martin DBX S is equipped with a suite of unique S interior features. One of its most noticeable features is the Performance Herringbone perforation stitching that blends quite beautifully with the Alcantara performance seats. The driver and front passenger can also enjoy seats with Signature S embroidery branding, which further enhance the already premium vibe inside the SUV. Aston Martin showcases its next-level craftsmanship through the insides of the DBX S. In addition, this car also offers a class-leading Pure Black technology system that opens the door for limitless possibilities on a single touch, 0-1,920 pixels in just 0.03 seconds. Its cabin dimensions are similar to that of the 707’s. Hence, it offers an unmatched level of comfort for an SUV regarded as the most powerful. 

From the outside, the Aston Martin DBX S looks very similar to its 707 counterpart but is sculpted with more premium components. This model is equipped with aero-sculpted features such as a unique-looking polycarbonate honeycomb front grille, a carbon fibre roof, and quad stacked exhausts, all of which give this car a more aggressive sporty look compared to its counterpart. To complete an outstanding assertive look on the road, this is also made with 23-inch magnesium wheels that have somewhat a star shape, a nice touch for the most powerful SUV. 

All-around, it looks like a luxury SUV that has a muscular build, exhibiting a perfect mixture of elegance and Aston Martin’s racing DNA. The DBX S is 5,039 mm in length, 2,175 mm in width with the mirrors out, and 1,680 mm in height. It also has a wheelbase of 3,060 mm and a maximum offroad ground clearance of 235 mm. 

Another improvement that is noticeable in the Aston Martin DBX S is its more agile performance compared to its 707 counterpart. The former is more comfortable to drive than the latter because of its lightweighting innovations that remove up to 47 kg of its mass. These innovations include a 3.8 square-meter carbon roof, carbon aero-winglets around the DRLs, the optional honeycomb grille, and the car’s 23-inch magnesium wheels, all of which contribute to reducing mass and efficiently saving weight. Consequently, this leads to the car’s improved dynamic reactions. 

In terms of suspension, this model utilizes a combination of an independent forged or hollow cast double wishbone split link at the front and an extruded and hollow form cast multi-link at the rear.

Of course, the Aston Martin DBX S is not regarded as the most powerful SUV for nothing. It is powered by an ultra powerful 4.0L, twin-turbo V8 engine that produces a maximum power output of 727 Ps and a maximum torque of 900 Nm–talk about downright power and dominance. Like the 707, it can go from 0-100 Km/h in just 3.3 seconds.

 It runs on a 9-speed ‘wet-clutch’ automatic gearbox and utilizes an electronically-controlled active all-wheel drive system. This model is just on a different playing field from other automatic vehicles because its gear changes are 30% faster compared to a traditional automatic clutch. Ultimately, this car is designed to show us what a supercar at its best runs like.

Like its 707 counterpart, the Aston Martin DBX S is equipped with advanced safety features such as an anti-lock braking system, dynamic torque vectoring, electronic brakeforce distribution, controls for electronic stability, launching, roll-over stability, and trailer stability, as well as assistance systems for emergency braking and hill starting. This car is also made with an electronic parking brake for an additional layer of safety. In terms of braking, this car utilizes Carbon ceramic-vented and grooved 2-piece semi floating brake discs.

Like the DBX-707, the all-new Aston Martin DBX S is catered towards a smaller number of consumers in the country. Although the local starting price hasn’t been released yet, we could already expect that it will be much more expensive than its counterpart and other rivals. Hence, for this model, it is certain that you will get what you paid for, setting aside impracticality. But, for most of us, buying this would definitely be a no no.
