Aston Martin announces world"s most powerful luxury crossover

In February, the British brand will present a new version of the DBX model, which can get a 650-horsepower engine. Aston Martin has announced the premiere of a new car that will be "the world's most powerful luxury crossover".The premiere will take place in two weeks - February 1, 2022. Presumably, the British are referring to a more powerful and faster version of the DBX crossover, introduced at the end of 2019. The standard car is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG eight, which is used on the new generation DB11 and Vantage supercars. The engine, working together with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, develops 550 hp. and 700 Nm of torque. The crossover is capable of accelerating from a standstill to the first “hundred” in 4.5 seconds, and its maximum speed is 291 km/h. At the same time, the Aston Martin DBX is inferior in power to a number of its direct competitors. For example, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, which is considered one of the fastest serial crossovers in the world, is equipped with a 640-horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine. And, say, an engine of the same size in a Lamborghini Urus develops 650 horsepower. Earlier it was reported that the new Aston Martin DBX S could get a larger 5.0-liter V12 engine, but then the British denied this information. It is assumed that the crossover will receive a significantly modified version of the current "eight", the return of which will be brought to 640-650 horsepower.
