Aston Martin Teases More Powerful DBX S 

Aston Martin is preparing to unveil a more potent version of its DBX SUV and it’s likely to be called the DBX S. The reveal is expected on 1 February 2022. 

A more powerful Aston Martin DBX will be revealed soon and the British carmaker claims it will be “the world’s most powerful luxury SUV”. 

The firm has released a teaser video and a teaser image of the newcomer.  Aston Martin says,  “The next chapter of the DBX story is about to be told and new performance standards will be set. Are you ready for the world’s most powerful luxury SUV?”

The teaser video is titled “Change is Coming” and briefly shows a few details as well as a sound bite of what the engine sounds like. 

As far as what power source will be found under the bonnet, is up for speculation. The standard Aston Martin DBX, which currently retails for R3 990 000, is powered by a Mercedes-AMG twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine that packs 405 kW and 700 Nm. In all likelihood, Aston Martin will ramp up outputs even further but there have been rumours circulating that this potent DBX S might gain the twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 that powers the Aston Martin Superleggera which offers 534 kW and 900 Nm. Wouldn’t that be tantalising? 

All will be revealed soon though as Aston Martin prepares to show the DBX S to the world on 1 February 2022. We will certainly update this story as soon as that happens, so stay tuned!
