Aston Martin DBX 707: Powertrain

Of course the tastiest thing is the engine, a four-liter V8 Twin Turbo, which is delivered by Mercedes-AMG, but has been given some English tricks and developments, courtesy of Ralph Illenberger, the head of powertrain engineering at Aston Martin. Still, it ranks above the Lamborghini Urus, the Bentley Bentayga Speed, and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT. Of course, it will be necessary to see how it performs together with the Ferrari Purosangue, which, although it did not provide exact figures, declares 715 Hp, a 0 to 100 in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of over 310 km/h.

Twin turbochargers now have ball-bearing turbines, which spin faster and allow for greater elasticity and durability.
The engine was completely recalibrated to get more power.
New nine-speed transmission with wet clutch, which holds more power and has a much more direct delivery:
This box is key, since it is what allows the engine power to increase to 696 Hp and 900 Nm, 200 Nm more than the normal DBX.
With this box, the DBX 707 can reach 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds.
In manual mode, it holds changes just like a traditional box: if you need to go to the cut or bury the revs a little more, no problem.
The Launch Control (Race Start) system is available in GT Sport and Sport+ modes. In addition, electronic traction management and ESP have been improved for a more natural feel.
The rear differential (e-diff) has been strengthened and has a shorter gear ratio (3.27 versus the DBX V8's 3.07) that helps with acceleration.
Although the AWD system maintains its automatic management, it can send 100% of the torque to the rear wheels.
“With this exceptional new model, we have truly unlocked the performance potential within the DBX to create a high-performance SUV that surpasses everything. The huge gains we've found in both power and torque demonstrate not only the inherent prowess of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but also Aston Martin's appetite for and ability to find uncompromising engineering solutions. The combination of this magnificent engine with a new nine-speed wet-clutch transmission lies at the heart of the DBX 707's formidable capabilities and unforgettable character," said Ralph Illenberger, Aston Martin's Head of Powertrain.

“Creating the latest SUV presented formidable challenges for our engineering team. Too often, this class of car is characterized by an obsession with brute force. With the DBX 707, our aim was to match immense performance with impeccable control and precision, combined with a genuine sporty character essential to all Aston Martin models. To this end, we apply an uncompromising approach to every area of the vehicle.

 

 

 

The engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, electronic systems and aerodynamics have all undergone extensive upgrades and meticulous tuning. The result is a car that sets new standards and further distinguishes the DBX from its class rivals,” added Drummond Jacoy, Aston Martin Head of Engineering and Vehicle Procurement.

Better brakes: 420mm carbon/ceramic discs up front and 390mm at the rear, with six-piston calipers, better cooling, and an upgrade to the hydraulics.
It brakes better, has better resistance to temperature and also helps to lose 40.5 kilos.
The brakes take air from the main rack and also from the ground
Better wheels: 22" wheels are standard, with two designs. But you can ask for 23" alloy wheels, which are lighter and allow, depending on the brand, a better balance of the car.
Air suspension, inherited from the DBX, but with adjustments to the damping valves and springs.
The touch of the electric steering was improved, which allows a better reading of what the car is doing and also, being able to better anticipate its behavior in stronger maneuvers.
Thanks to the stiffer car and quicker pneumatic management, the car leans less, sways less and this makes the DBX 707 easier to accommodate.
These improvements also work with the electronic anti-roll system, so they also contribute to safety.
Suspension management, ESP, exhaust sound and transmission are now regulated out of the box with direct access buttons – no more navigating through different menus.
Aston Martin DBX 707: dimensions and design

Length: 5,039mm
Width: 1,998mm
Height: 1,680mm
Between axles: 3,060 mm
Trunk: 632 L
To celebrate all the performance improvements, the DBX 707 differs from the regular DBX with a more aggressive design. To start with, the front is huge, with a large grill, many air intakes and cooling ducts for the brakes. This grill of course also helps in cooling the engine and gearbox. The new DRL lights also contribute to differentiate it from the original model.

In the profile, we see elements in dark satin chrome, which combine with other elements in carbon fiber or piano black. The skirts have also been redesigned to match the more aggressive styling of the 707. To complete the more poised and bulging stance, Aston Martin makes available massive 22" wheels and an optional 23" set.

The rear also debuts important changes. To improve both aesthetic form and aerodynamic function, a new spoiler has been added to reduce lift and increase high-speed stability, to which is added a larger dual rear diffuser that rises to meet the new airfoil system. more aggressive sounding quad exhaust. In turn, the new rear bumper incorporates vents integrated into the side panel.

“Key to the DBX 707's design DNA is capturing the confidence that comes from its dynamic supremacy. When you're the alpha SUV, you don't have to try too hard, so we concentrated on those design areas that would make the DBX 707 instantly recognizable as the top performing model. Function naturally drives some of the changes, most notably the larger grille opening, rear spoiler and optional 23-inch wheels, but in other places, like the side skirts and rear bumper, we express the immense performance of the DBX 707 in ways that create a more aggressive stance and more muscular image. The result is a design that exudes power while maintaining our commitment to clean lines and perfect proportions. DBX 707 is a true performance beast, but retains the beauty and elegance you expect from Aston Martin's DNA," said Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's Creative Director.
