The new Aston Martin DBX707 can be seen as the last gasp of pure, unfettered combustion, a car that celebrates power, scale, opulence, speed, and drama in their basest forms, with no concession to the change sweeping through the auto industry.\nBut is it a good car? The best tool...
might not be as adept at fording rivers as a Range Rover, but it’ll certainly wade puddles that would put off a conventional sports car. And whilst the full-on, all-out ‘Sport+’ mode is barely suited for the public road, the DBX’s standard levels of refinement and comfort far exceed what you’d experience in a two-seater.
One possible snag – be it personal or political – is the DBX707’s prodigious ability to suck up fossil fuels and pump out CO2 . If your personal creed demands that green trumps mean, then waiting for 2023’s rumoured plug-in hybrid DBX is a more suitable choice.booked out the wild Cala di Volpe hotel built by the Aga Khan in the 1960s, subsequently frequented by Roger Moore and his trouser suit in 1977’s.
In a cinematic twist, Becker’s son Matt was the Aston engineer who fettled the DBX project from the outset . An empty dual carriageway stretching out to the horizon, with no wind, no rain, and perfect visibility, offered a rare chance to explore the higher reaches of the 707’s capabilities. Suffice to say, that distant horizon was reeled in with impressive rapidity, just as the far-off specks resolved into traffic moving at a more conventional speed. Bragging rights are a fundamental, if flawed, part of the luxury car-buying process.
Happily for other road users, the DBX707 can win most of these battles without having to move an inch. §
