People have not yet figured out whether SUVs need very strong performance (or even acceleration strength that can cut most sports cars off the horse), the market is already full of all kinds of supercar SUV. Now, let's welcome the new beast to the battlefield, the Aston Martin DBX 707. The 707 stands for its horsepower, which is much larger than the 641Ps of the Cayenne Turbo GT, the new fastest SUV in New North.
Optimised by Aston Martin, the 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine from Mercedes-AMG is equipped with new turbos and other equipment, further unleashing its potential, with a maximum horsepower of 707 Ps and a peak torque of 900 N·m. These two data are 157Ps and 200 N·m larger than the V8 DBX of the ordinary version, which is equivalent to adding a 2.0L Axela to the ordinary version. The result is that the DBX 707's zero-hundred acceleration time is only 3.3 seconds, which is more than 1 second faster than the ordinary V8 DBX.
In response to such a huge torque, the DBX 707's 9-speed automatic transmission replaces the conventional torque converter with a wet clutch, while this change increases the speed of shifting and makes the shift feel more direct. According to the official introduction, this personality change is dramatic, and everyone can make up for the difference between the ordinary BMW 3 Series and M3 gear shift feelings. In addition, the dbx 707 has a final pass ratio of 3.27, which is higher than the 3.07 of the ordinary V8 DBX, which also helps to improve the acceleration ability.
In addition to engine and transmission optimizations, the DBX 707 is equipped with a new electronic limited-slip rear differential, which makes it more agile in fast cornering and closer to a real sports car. The all-wheel drive system automatically distributes the front and rear torque as needed, and under extreme conditions, the rear wheels can get 100% power.
Its spoke rim shape is relatively understated, but because of the contrast between high-gloss silver and black, it looks like a double five-spoke in some light. Although simple, the size is frighteningly large (22 inches as standard, 23 inches can be optional), and the fact that the center of the small ET value is deeply sunken is enough to show that it is not a good color. For such a powerful car, the use of huge rims is not only for handsomeness, the thinner the tire wall, the better the steering response, and the stability of the body is also greatly beneficial.
The chassis is naturally also the ultimate. The new shock absorber valve makes it better resistant to roll and improves steering agility, and vibration absorption in the face of bumpy roads is also optimized. In simple terms, it is faster than the ordinary DBX, and the body posture is more stable.
Run fast and have to brake. The DBX 707 comes standard with carbon-ceramic brakes, which match the front 420mm rear 390mm brake discs and optimizes the foot feel and responsiveness of the pedals, giving the driver greater confidence. In addition, the air introduced through the air intake and the bottom of the car can be used to cool the brake system and ensure stability under high-frequency and high-intensity braking.
So much has been written that nothing has been said about its appearance. In fact, its appearance has not changed much compared to the ordinary version of dbX, and it can be clearly found that the rear bar shape has become extremely complex, and the elegant and smooth body curved surface is incompatible, and even uncomfortable from some angles. However, they exist to provide sufficient downforce when running at high speeds, ensuring that distinguished owners will not hit the wall while enjoying the 707Ps horsepower.
Of course, as an Aston Martin, it has another important selling point – it's powerful and luxurious at the same time. If the Cabanan Turbo GT is affordable, the DBX 707 is a luxury villa. From head-to-toe leather, creating an old-fashioned and luxurious atmosphere, most of the places you can touch with your hands are high-grade leather. All seats are heated and support 16-way electrical adjustment.
Back to the beginning of the topic, an SUV may not need such a powerful performance, but it is this current "abuse" of horsepower that has created this unparalleled monster in front of you.
