We've just pitted the new Aston Martin DBX707 against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT. But which would you choose? 🤔
According to a recent article in the New Yorker, cleverly titled 'The Haves and the Have-Yachts', 2022 was the year of the superyacht. But, in our opinion, the must-have purchase for the super-rich in 2023 might be the super-SUV.
Aston Martin has even hinted that it wants to take the DBX 707 to the Nürburgring Nordschleife race track with the aim of demolishing the current 7min 38sec SUV lap record. A record that happens to be held by our second contender: the mightyAs you might have gathered from its brisk 'Ring lap, the Turbo GT is about more than just straight line-speed, although, with its 4.0-litre V8 producing 631bhp, it's certainly not short on poke.
Dive even deeper into the numbers and you'll find that beyond 60mph, the DBX just has the edge over the less powerful Cayenne, but the gap is virtually undetectable from behind the wheel. The most obvious difference between the two cars is the noise they make. With its guttural, race car-aping engine note, even small bursts of acceleration in the DBX is truly theatrical, while the titanium exhaust on the Cayenne emits a more subdued bellow.
