Go big or go home. That really is the purest racing mentality any motorsports engineering team can have. Considering their rich racing heritage, Aston Martin leaves no stone unturned when lending that mentality to the performance luxury SUV category. The Aston Martin DBX707 is, as of the moment, the world’s most powerful luxury SUV.
Of course, this is still an Aston Martin meaning the ride is smooth as hell while the cabin experience is fit for royalty. The fact that it can scream from 0 to 62 miles per hour in a mere 3.3 seconds offers the kind of mischief that could help James Bond in a pinch.
Under the bonnet of this majestic SUV is a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 engine producing 697 horsepower with 663 pound-feet of torque. Obviously the power is distributed adequately to all four wheels through the all-wheel-drive system. In other words, you have plenty of grip to get a perfect launch every time.
Perhaps you never thought you would want to see what traveling at a speed of 193 miles per hour looks like in a SUV. Regardless, now you can. The DBX707 can show you what it’s like while you sink into the Alcantara or leather seats to enjoy the ride.
The nine-speed wet clutch automatic gearbox puts you in the optimal torque range for every driving scenario. If you want cargo volume or room for more passengers without sacrificing a shred of driving pleasure, the DBX707 is at the top of your Valentine’s Day wishlist.
You are not required to smile while driving the DBX707 but chances are you probably will. It features precise and sporty handling and even gives you the ability to send 100 percent of the power distribution to the rear wheels. Drift at your own risk.
Carbon ceramic brakes come standard to give you plenty of stopping power should this beast slip away from you a bit. Although 22-inch wheels come standard you can always go bigger with the optional 23-inch set.
For the finishing touch, Aston Martin gives the DBX707 an aggressive exterior styling package including a rear spoiler. A largemouth front grille devours everything in its path while the brake cooling ducts and functional air intakes let everything else on the road know this is not a grocery-getting SUV. If you do have groceries in it, that’s called brownie points.
Now it’s time to fire the Aston Martin DBX707 up so you can hear the glorious purgle through quad exhaust pipes. If you think that is pretty sweet, just wait until you hear this baby at wide open throttle. The only remaining question is, which color do you want?
