Aston Martin has revealed a new limited-edition version of its flagship DBX707 SUV, with a direct link to the marque’s Formula 1 team.
The Aston Martin DBX707 AMR24 Edition shares a name with the company’s latest F1 racer, driven by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.
There is also a deliberate nod to the DBX707 currently supplied by Aston Martin to act as one of the Official Formula 1 Medical Cars.
From the race track to the road
The Aston Martin AMR24 Formula 1 car is the first racer to be designed and built at the state-of-the-art AMR Technology Campus at Silverstone. As such, Aston has chosen to channel the design elements from the F1 machine into the DBX707.
Customers can choose from Podium Green, Onyx Black or Neutron White paint colours, with contrasting Lime Green or Trophy Silver accents found on the exterior trim. These latter accents, placed on gloss black and carbon fibre, are a direct link from the AMR24 F1 car.
This unique colour combination extends to the choice of Aston Martin Racing Green or AMR Lime brake calipers. These are nestled behind 23-inch ‘Fortis’ alloy wheels, which can be finished in either satin or gloss black.
An exclusive AMR24 engine plaque is included as the finishing touch.
Bold interior choices encouraged
On the inside, there is a choice of two colour schemes for the ‘Inspire Sport’ cabin. Buyers can pick Onyx black with Lime stitching, or Onyx Black / Eifel Green Duotone with more Lime highlights.
Interior details can be finished in carbon fibre and dark chrome jewellery, or titanium mesh matched with satin chrome. A unique hand-stitched lime leather strap above the wireless smartphone charger.
A new sound system, created with Bowers & Wilkins, is included with the DBX707 AMR24, being combined with the recently revised multimedia touchscreen.
Bespoke AMR24 door sills are fitted to complete the interior makeover.
Ready for Silverstone action
Aston Martin has left the DBX707’s powertrain untouched, although the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 is hardly short on performance. The 707hp output allows for a 0-62mph time of 3.1 seconds, with a potential top speed of 193mph.
Marco Mattiacci, Aston Martin’s global chief brand and commercial officer said: “Now with a technically advanced interior to match its class leading performance, the DBX707 AMR24 Edition is a stand-out ultra-luxury SUV with incredible road presence.”
The Aston Martin DBX707 AMR24 Edition is available to order now, just ahead of this weekend’s British Grand Prix.
