Hot hatch 707 DBX S flexes its muscles

Aston Martin cranks up its SUV recipe even more

- 

Aston Martin isn't one to rest on its laurels for long. It broke new ground in 2019 with its landmark DBX performance SUV, but shortly after, introduced a 707 version, which took this high-riding model's performance and handling to a new level.

Now, there's something else - the DBX S - which tweaks the standard 707 recipe to make this Aston Martin SUV more engaging.

The S badge has a lot of history behind it, with Aston Martin applying this to a variety of its go-faster models. In the DBX S, it brings extra power and a greater quest for lightness, brought through a full carbon-fibre roof and optional magnesium wheels which help to shave off up to 47kg.

Style changes include a larger grille aiming to give this car even more presence.

You'll find the same thumping 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine as you get in the 707, but power has been increased by 20bhp for a total of 717bhp.
