  • Aston Martin is about to reveal its first-ever DBX SUV!

    2019 Aston Martin DBX PrototypeWith the DBX’s debut drawing closer and closer, Aston Martin team’s first SUV has entered the final stages of the comprehensive test regime. With extensive everyday real-world driving and high-performance track evaluation, chief engineer Matt Becker and his team has focused their development energy towards ensuring the broad dynamics of the DBX.

    And while conducting durability tests at the demanding Nürburgring race circuit, DBX has delivered cornering speeds on par with brand’s most advanced sportscar, the Vantage. The new SUV unit also has managed to achieve braking agility similar to the Super GT and DBS Superleggera. This all means that the new DBX unit blends performance of a sporty car and the comfort of a SUV.

    Additionally, DBX will come with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 unit, exclusively fine-tuned for this particular project. This system will deliver maximum of 550hp and 700Nm of torque and can chase a top speed of 324km/h.

    What is also special about the upcoming SUV is the massive and broad acoustic tone that the exhaust system can produce. This is due to the fact that engineers have used a deep bass with increasing mi-tones, which result on auditory exhilaration, especially in the sporty driving modes. Cool!

    Aston Martin DBX Concept Side ViewSpeaking of Aston Martins, have you seen the DBX Concept already? Or have you missed it somewhere along the way? Well, the news about it is that it has made an appearance this weekend at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, which took place at the shores of Lake Como in Italy. With its bold and purely Aston Martin design, the concept car aims to battle conventional thinking about luxury and GT traveling.

    The vehicle was actually premiered at the Geneva Motor Show this March, where it gathered a lot of appraisals and superb comments. All in all, the car promises to make luxury GT travel even more stylish and comfortable than ever before. Well, it might also add more practicality, family-and eco-friendliness.

    DBX Concept also showcases the evolution in company’s design philosophy through its cutting edge engineering. The car has the capability of accommodating four adults in perfect comfort. What is more, it can be also used everyday, because its design is more practical than other cars in company’s range of vehicles.

    Exterior

    The metal work throughout the exterior emphasizes Aston Martin’s approach of using authentic materials. It is actually made of machined billet aluminium, which features visible milling lines that are made with the intent to be seen as the car’s jewellery.

    The exterior paint finish is also one-off. Called Black Pearl Chromium, it has been specifically created to mimic the look of a genuine black pearl. It is made of micro-fine layer of chrome that delivers a level of reflectivity.

    Active LEDs light-up the way of this concept, while the rearview mirrors have been substituted with rear view cameras.

    Interior

    Inside, the car features exclusive materials that aren’t typical for the automotive standards. They create soft and cocooning ambience. To be more precise, the materials used inside feature Nubuck leather, sandwiched accent layer, gold ‘pin striping’ element on the edging and more.

    Drivetrain

    The car runs on pure electricity, which makes it definitely eco-friendly. It is actually driven by electric motors that are powered by lithium sulphur cells. Unfortunately, there are no details regarding the power output of the model, or any performance figures released so far.
