Aston Martin DBX707

After Lamborghini recently unveiled its high-performance SUV, Aston Martin has now done the same with the introduction of its DBX707. The car is based on the DBX model, which raises the performance of the SUV to a higher level.

The flagship of the new SUV generation is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 707 hp (520 kW) and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 9-speed lightweight cast magnesium bodied automatic gearbox. It reaches 62 mph in an impressive 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h).

“With this remarkable new model, we have really unlocked the performance potential within DBX to create a world-class top-performing SUV that is winning in the world,” said Ralph Illenberger.

The new DBX 707 has a cast aluminum monocoque body shell with aluminum and composite body panels. It is equipped with adaptive air suspension, panoramic glass sunroof, sports LED daytime running lights, sport side sills in high gloss black, multi-piece diffuser, vented rear wheel arches, carbon fiber spoiler and quad exhausts in matt black.

The car is mounted on 22 inch forged aluminum rims wrapped in 285/40 YR22 (front) and 325/35 YR22 (rear) tires. For safe braking and stopping there are 420 mm (front) and 390 mm (rear) carbon-ceramic brake discs.

The first examples will be delivered in the second quarter of this year, at a price of 206,000 EUR.

Aston Martin Mansory DBX

The first Aston Martin SUV was the basis for Mansory’s new work. It is an Aston Martin DBX model that follows the latest trend of complete performance madness.

The Mansory equipment kit brings lightweight carbon parts such as a new front grille and front lip, additional air intakes on the hood, rear door spoiler for greater downforce, roof spoiler, new diffuser, sports exhaust system, mirror housings, and other accessories.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black Limegreen leather. The same material can be seen on the center console, the edges of the floor mats, the decorative seams on the instrument panel and the steering wheel with a sports airbag.

What Mansory is best known for and what it is best at is engine performance. The upgraded Aston Martin DBX is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. This is, compared to the standard model, an increase of 250 hp (184 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm). Thanks to the remapped ECU and turbochargers, it reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km / h). It rides on 24-inch alloy wheels with 295 / 30R24 (front) and 355 / 25R24 (rear) tires.

Formula 1 drivers try to repeat scenes from the movie “No Time to Die”

After its premiere, the new James Bond movie, called “No Time to Die,” could easily become the most watched movie this year. Just like in other sequels, the legendary Aston Martin DB5 was used in this one as well. Some extraordinary and exciting car scenes can be seen in the movie, which is why Formula 1 drivers tried to repeat them.

The DB5 became famous thanks to James Bond, and the greatest credit goes to Sean Connery and Goldfinger in which the DB5 plays a major role among cars. The car equipped with special accessories like machine guns and a number of other accessories is back, and now we have some more information about it.

Neil Layton, responsible for action vehicles, recently revealed that they used five cars during filming. All cars were replicas with a specially installed protective cage for stuntmen. Drivers were able to use a hydraulic handbrake to perform attractive maneuvers more easily.

One of the stuntmen, Mark Higgins, revealed to Sky Sports F1 that the chase, which lasted about five minutes, was filmed for a full seven weeks in Italy. The cars were also tested by pilots Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel, but they left the performance of acrobatics to experts. Of course, no one complained because filming was a real pleasure.
