DBX S. THE FASTEST, MOST POWERFUL SUV IN ITS CLASS
Marking the return of S. The most powerful SUV in the world using only an internal combustion engine. Amplified DNA brings a suite of performance enhancements. More aggressive with turbochargers taken direct from the forthcoming Valhalla, increasing power by 20PS. More assertive with a unique lower splitter, diffuser and quad stacked exhausts. More attitude with an optional polycarbonate honeycomb grille, carbon fibre roof and 23” magnesium wheels. Lightweighting options that give it the most power-to-weight ratio of any SUV on the planet. A fusion of blistering performance, supreme dynamics, iconic style and benchmark luxury.
EXTERIOR
nhanced muscularity showcases a suite of exclusive performance-first styling and aero-sculpted features including honeycomb front grille, carbon fibre roof, 23" magnesium wheels and quad stacked exhausts. DBX S features new highlights and graphics with contemporary lines born of iconic racing DNA.
INTERIOR
Aston Martin has once again drawn inspiration from the portfolio of Sports and Supercars with the all-new use of Alcantara®, which is synonymous with true sporting prowess and now appointed across many new panels. This lightweight material is embellished with other innovative new materials and precision craft techniques. Performance Herringbone perforation stitching. Sculpted leather headrests with sub-millimetre precision. Signature S embroidery branding to both front seats. Levels of obsessive next-level craftsmanship that take a lifetime to perfect. And a split-second to appreciate.
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.
ROOF
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.
ENGINE
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.
LIGHTWEIGHTING
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.
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.
ONE SUV. 5 THRILLING MODES
A rotary switch on the centre console lets the driver access the five configured drive modes. The DBX S gearbox has been further modified to provide an even more memorable driving experience with enhanced abilities across all modes. Change-up points are adjusted to reflect the car’s extended rev range, while downshifts in Sport and Sport+ modes when the car is in automatic are even more aggressive. Select 'Terrain' for off-road. 'GT' to maximise touring comfort. 'Sport' mode for responsive road driving and 'Individual' to select personal preferences across suspension, steering and exhaust.
0-1,920 PIXELS IN 0.03 SECONDS
DBX S offers the premiere of touchscreens with Pure Black technology. Offering class-leading clarity with its highest definition display. 1,920 x 720 pixels. Instantly enabling fingertip and multitouch control with a blend of touchscreen menus and short keys. Actioning your personal touch in 30 milliseconds.
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.
