The DBX P800 is the most powerful Aston Martin SUV

Last year Aston Martin unveiled the symbol of a new era, the Aston Martin DBX707. It was the most powerful SUV of the British car manufacturer. However, the German tuner Mansory presented the DBX P800 with 800 HP, based on this model.

In the second attempt to refine the DBX at Mansory, they did not give up their carbon body components. Many feel that this design ultimately spoils the look of the British SUV, but it may be comforting that the engineers have increased the power making it the most powerful Aston Martin SUV.

The DBX P800 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard DBX has 550 hp (404 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The power was increased by remapping the ECU, but also by installing more powerful turbochargers and a new exhaust system. Also, the top speed was raised from 310 km/h to 325 km/h.

The car is equipped with a carbon kit that includes side skirts, a front spoiler, hood vents, side air intakes and a rear spoiler. There’s also a set of new 24″ rims wrapped in 295/30 front and 355/25 rear tires.

Lunaz Design turned the Aston Martin DB6 into an electric car

In 1965, Aston Martin unveiled a grand tourer, the Aston Martin DB6, which featured improved aerodynamics and specifications over its predecessor, the Aston Martin DB5. It was produced until 1971, and 1,788 cars left the production lines. One of them recently became electric, thanks to the company that restores and modifies historic cars, Lunaz Design.

The standard Aston Martin DB6 is powered by a 4.0L 6-cylinder engine with 282 hp (207 kW). However, Lunaz installed an electric motor and battery, so now the DB6 has 375 hp (276 kW) and 518 lb-ft (702 Nm) of torque. Other specifications have not been revealed. Lunaz is known for installing batteries with a capacity of between 80 and 120 kWh, which enables a range of between 290 and 402 kilometers.

The owner of this beautiful car is a businessman from Miami. Lunaz has completely disassembled and restored the DB6, and then assembled it to the highest standards. The car is finished in dark gray and is equipped with better brakes, improved suspension and steering system.

Inside, the seats are trimmed in dark green leather made from cactus, while the floor mats are made from recycled material. A new infotainment system, air conditioning and satellite navigation, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, are installed.

Safety cars for the 2023 Formula 1 season

The new season of Formula 1 will start soon, and the safety cars will be Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG. The contract was signed two years ago and the British manufacturer announced that it will use the Aston Martin Vantage and the recently introduced DBX707. Mercedes-AMG still hasn’t decided which cars it will use.

Aston Martin DBX707 is the most powerful SUV in the world that will replace last year’s DBX. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 707 hp (520 kW), making it the most powerful SUV in the world. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). The power of its powerful engine is transmitted to all wheels via a fast 9-speed automatic transmission with improved differential and limited traction.

Aston Martin F1 Vantage is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 528 hp (388 kW) and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 195 mph (314 km / h). Both cars will wear a green livery similar to that of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.

Mercedes has yet to reveal which cars it will field in Formula 1 this year. Last season, the AMG GT Black Series was used as a safety car, and the GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe as a medical car.

The new season starts on March 5 in Bahrain, and the last race will be held on November 26 in Abu Dhabi.
