Engineering
DBX S is the latest in a long line of ‘S’ high performance Aston Martins and stands at the absolute pinnacle of ultra-luxury SUV performance.
The most powerful on the planet
DBX S packs more surging power and turbocharged performance than ever before. Engineered by Aston Martin, the upgraded 4.0-Litre Twin-Turbo V8 now produces 727PS making it the most powerful SUV in the world using only an internal combustion engine. The exhaust has been specially tailored to the new turbochargers, reducing back pressure and giving even more voice to the thunderous V8. Combined with lightweight options that produce the greatest power-to-weight ratio in the category, it firmly establishes DBX S at the apex of ultra-luxury SUV power and performance.
Reduced Weight. Enhanced Agility
Exclusive to DBX S are a series of optional lightweighting innovations that bring not only assertive looks and sporting character but also remove up to 47kg of mass to deliver supreme dynamic capability. The 3.8 square-metre carbon roof is the largest ever fitted to an Aston Martin. It removes over 18kg of mass from the highest point of DBX meaning a lowered centre of gravity and enhanced dynamic reactions. 23” magnesium wheels liberate up to 19kg of unsprung mass and rotational inertia to improve steering feel, linear predictability and tracking over undulating surfaces to enhance already class-leading DBX steering. The carbon aero winglets around the DRLs and huge single-piece carbon rear panel save another 7kg. Combined with an exclusive and optional gloss black honeycomb polycarbonate grille, which removes 3kg further mass, these elements work together to help further improve weight distribution and handling.
Pure. Powertrain. Punch
The DNA of F1®-derived technology coursing freely and emphatically within the dimensions of an SUV. Equipped with a 9-speed ‘wet-clutch’ automatic gearbox. 30% faster gear changes compared to a traditional automatic clutch. More torque than a typical torque converter. Multi-plated. Oil-cooled. Fast-as-lightning off-the-line speed via Launch Control. The power to feed 100% torque from foot to powertrain to road surface. DBX S is designed to deliver the racing agility, power and feel of a supercar.
A SINGULAR CARBON PROPSHAF
One SUV. 5 Thrilling Modes
Racetrack Reactivity
DBX S combines increased power with set-up changes to further enhance its ceiling-shattering performance. Programmable ESP enables greater driver expression. Finely calibrated electronic dampers and air springs firm up body control. Precision is peaked. Reactions quicken to race levels. A shortened final drive offers extra in-gear punch to place you at the epicentre of the car. And the core of the driver experience.
An Air of Superiority
The lightweight polycarbonate honeycomb grille delivers the massive cooling air flow capacity to keep DBX S performing at optimal temperatures. Its reduced weight also removes mass in front of the axle, helping weight distribution and handling. Increased airflow draws heat away from the 4.0-Litre Twin-Turbo engine, powertrain and brakes to optimise cruising capabilities, and regulate temperatures at high speeds.
A rear diffuser pulls low pressure underneath the SUV while drag reduction comes from the rear wing’s sculpted management of airflow. Brake cooling ducts channel air onto the vast carbon ceramic discs to provide massive braking performance. Time after time.
The quad stacked exhaust is modified to reduce backpressure, supporting higher engine rpm and increasing exhaust sound quality. Noise levels are raised, with a more brutal assertive character. Moving or motionless, the masterfully shaped aerodynamics give instant understanding as to the immense power, purpose and potential that lie within the new DBX S.
Exterior
The DBX S exterior is beyond a centre of attention. It is a centre of gravitas.
Improved Carbon Fibre Optics
The new optional carbon roof has a single weave pattern to add a more performance-focused aesthetic to both exterior and interior of the DBX S. It replaces the standard glass-panel roof with a 3.8 square-metre carbon fibre option, making it the largest all-carbon roof ever to adorn an Aston Martin. Specification of the carbon roof offers a further 18kg of unsprung mass, from the very highest point of the car, reducing its centre of gravity and further enhancing both stability and agility.
A Statement of Intent
The optional gloss-black honeycomb grille creates a formidable look that delivers a clear message of unmistakeable identity and powerful intent. It is intricately designed with over 25,000 individual facets which help shift weight distribution rearward, further aiding handling and traction capabilities. DBX S also offers a dark, double-vaned, all-metal grille as standard. Whatever the preference, form merges with function to take in the huge amounts of air needed to cool the epic powertrain, whilst radiating classic Aston Martin elegance and attitude.
Assertive Aesthetics
New side sills with up-turned winglet profiles help channel air along the side of the car whilst adding further presence to the DBX S profile. The iconic side strake is woven into a new visual language signed off with the unique solid metal S badge. Self-presenting door handles power outwards when the SUV is unlocked. Flush-glass swivel-head door mirrors further finesse both flanks without impacting aesthetics. Attached to the mirror design are fully integrated cameras to support a 3D camera system that offers infinitely viewable 3D modelling of the SUV with associated views.
An Exhilaration of Exhausts
Viewed from behind, DBX S is dominated by quad exhausts which are now stacked vertically. Informed by the potent Aston Martin Vanquish, the quad stacked exhaust finishers are available in both gloss and matt finishes. The unique bumper infill panel is extended to the outer quarter and reimagined with a fully functional rear diffuser and full-width lower wing. The transformed rear bumper and diffuser have been completely reprofiled and, together with the side sills and wings, can be specified in carbon to reduce overall vehicle mass by a further 7kg.
Lightweight Magnesium Wheels
DBX S heralds the first-ever lightweight 23” magnesium wheels* in the luxury SUV segment. Taking influence from the forthcoming mid-engine Valhalla supercar they deliver a fitting visual aesthetic to the astounding S performance. They also liberate up to 19kg of unsprung mass delivering improvements in ride quality, steering precision and feel, as well the SUV’s immediate reaction to directional input. Exclusively available for Aston Martin, these magnesium wheels are the largest ever fitted to an SUV and available in 23” satin black and satin titanium grey. DBX S is also available with 23” forged aluminium wheels as standard in a suite of styles and finishes.
Interior
Take your place in the ultra-luxury cockpit amidst a suite of unique S interior features.
New Heights of Craft
The DBX S interior displays a new bespoke ‘S’ theme throughout the cabin. This includes the highly distinctive herringbone design which comes as standard on the seats. Herringbone lines become increasingly wider as they progress up the seat back, giving an unmistakable and compelling impression of speed. One fitting for the highest performing SUV on the planet. If the optional single-weave carbon roof is selected the design also extends across the headlining of the cabin’s interior roof.
Supercar Qualities in the Body of an SUV
Furnished with the sporting prowess and feel of a true supercar. The height and space of an SUV. The all-focusing precision of a driver-centric position. Perfectly placed at the vantage point of an all-seeing, horizontal vista. DBX S offers enhanced performance without any compromise in comfort and convenience. A new level of ergonomics. Placing every control, dial and pedal within easy reach of the driver. And every time you set foot in the cockpit the ‘S’ branding on the tread plate reminds you that you are entering an SUV designed to defy its category. Ultra luxury seamlessly melded with performance feel.
