DBX S: Aston Martin's Swift, Luxurious SUV, Packs a 727HP Punch

British SUV performance revved up: Pricing details for swifter Aston Martin DBX S unveiled

The British luxury car brand, Aston Martin, has unveiled its latest offering - the DBX S. Boasting an upgraded 4.0-liter Twin-Turbo V8 petrol engine, this bad boy will rocket from 0 to 62mph in a jaw-dropping 3.3 seconds, making it the quickest family car in Aston Martin's current stable.

With a whopping 727 horsepower, the DBX S draws upon technology developed for the brand's upcoming hypercar, the Valhalla. This powerful engine promises an even more exhilarating driving experience.

Set to hit the streets later this autumn, the DBX S is now available for pre-order, with prices starting at an eye-watering £210,000.

Louder, Lighter, Faster

To really hear the thunderous roar of the V8 engine, Aston Martin has fitted a modified exhaust system that amplifies the sound. Additionally, lightweight options, such as extensive carbon fiber trim and a carbon fiber roof, can shave up to 47kg off the vehicle's weight, while magnesium wheels, available as an option for the first time in the SUV segment, save an extra 19kg.

Handles Like a Dream

Engineers have fine-tuned the steering ratio to improve agility, making the DBX S feel even more sporty and responsive. Suspension enhancements and carbon ceramic disc brakes offer improved stability, ride quality, steering precision, and jaw-dropping braking performance.

A Stunning Design

The DBX S features several visual modifications, including a dramatic new front grille, transformed rear, and a bespoke lightweight polycarbonate honeycomb grille. These updates, along with the quad exhausts stacked vertically and available in gloss and matt finishes, ensure no one will mistake this super-SUV for anything but the 'most sporting, dynamically capable, and enthralling ultra-luxury SUV on the market.'
