First drive review: the astonmartin DBX 707 delivers mind-bending performance for an SUV with a chassis to match, yet not at the cost of everyday road manners
The rear spoiler is a working part in this regard , as is the Formula 1-inspired double diffuser, within which sit four exhaust pipes.
The steering is retuned, too, for improved feel and an increase in effort build-up off-centre, while more revisions are applied to the active ride control, electronic differential, four-wheel drive system and electronic stability control system to improve agility and try to create that sports car vibe. Again, all with the caveat of not ruining everyday compliance.
As a nitpicking footnote to the everyday performance, while those bigger alloys and brakes do actually help to reduce unsprung mass by around 40kg, the secondary ride is still a touch firm and gets unsettled by the worst scars in the road. There’s seemingly endless traction, and the new wet-clutch nine-speed automatic gearbox is a more than willing accomplice in such an assault on your senses – something best experienced in the sharpest Sport+ driving mode .The chassis is comfortably able to handle all that extra performance, too.
The question of why you would want to push a car like this that hard in the first place isn’t lost on me, yet such is the world we live in today and the performance cars being created.
