Bored of electric SUVs? Try the 707hp, 2,245kg, £189,000 and 7.4-seconds Aston DBX707
Yes, it's another unlikely combination of an uber-fast SUV and a racetrack, one that is likely to get many looking for over-ripe digital tomatoes to hurl in the comments. Blood pressures are unlikely to be lowered when some ofother statistical outliers are considered: 707hp, 2,245kg, £189,000 and 7.4-seconds. The latter being not the 707's 0-60mph time - that benchmark gets dispatched in just 3.1-seconds - rather Aston's claimed 0-100mph figure.
While work on a super DBX had begun before Moers arrived at Aston, the 707 has evolved to be very much his project. He talks me around the car in minute detail, and while the performance upgrade and the headline output figure are the most obvious discussion points, Moers is actually keenest to show off the suspension changes, and to prove the revisions haven't compromised ride quality.
After no more than 10 minutes Moers returns to the pitlane to relinquish the driver's seat."You will learn more sitting on this side," he promises. Which I doubtless will, although the combination of a cold track surface and the boss spectating is one to concentrate the mind. Right, onto the track. Where the DBX707 has proved itself to be ludicrously fast well before its reached the first corner. Acceleration forces are hard enough to feel almost uncomfortable, the DBX devouring the ratios of its gearbox at such a rate it's a challenge to keep up with the demand for new ones with the transmission under manual control. The regular DBX isn't a slow car, but this is on an entirely different level.
