The Aston Martin DBX707 has bigger numbers than the standard car, but does that make it a match for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT?
, getting up on its toes quicker, revving with a touch more vigour but without trading in the standard V8’s smoothness and calmness. It’s when you cycle through the engine modes that the additional 155bhp and 148lb ft make themselves felt. In Sport the 707 feels as responsive and alert as a DBX does when you select Sport+, there’s an energy to how it climbs through the nine-ratios of its new wet-clutch auto, and there’s more urgency to the shift speed.
Yet it’s not the engine’s reach that impresses the most, it’s the changes made to the DBX’s chassis that focus your attention. Its stiffer suspension top mounts and the fitment of a longitudinal hydrobush on the front axle improve the damper’s stability, and new valves for the aforementioned make for a car that rides with a calmness unexpected of its kind, even when fitted with 23-inch wheels.
Aerodynamic requirements – to reduce lift rather than increase downforce to ridiculous levels – account for much of the bodywork additions. Some are quite subtle such as the opening in the rear arches to draw turbulent air away from those huge wheels and tyres, others less so such as the protruding rear diffuser that features its own secondary wing to accompany the larger roof mounted item.
