Lumma Design Amps Up Aston Martin DBX Presence
Just this morning we brought you the Aston Martin DBX by Q and now we have a first look albeit digital of Lumma Design’s take on the first-ever SUV from the British manufacturer.
It is called the Lumma CLR AM and as we have come to expect from the German tuner, it packs some serious road presence.
Upfront you will find a redesigned bumper with lip spoiler attached, new air intakes on the hood and a grille frame surround all finished in carbon fibre.

Completing the exterior modifications is a set of rather large wheels with a five-twin-spoke design and a central lock look.

Aston Martin DBX by Q
Aston Martin's DBX has been treated to a touch of personalisation magic through the luxury British brand's bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin, teasing the SUVs darker side ahead of the 2020 Geneva International Motor Show.
Featuring a range of bespoke 'Q by Aston Martin - Commission' and exclusive 'Q by Aston Martin - Collection' design features, this example of the brand's recently unveiled SUV once again highlights the rule-breaking customisation that is achievable through the marque's 'Q by Aston Martin' service.
Marek Reichman, Aston Martin Executive Vice President & Chief Creative Officer said, "While our designer specifications previously demonstrated an incredibly broad range of choice and expression from our existing palette of colours and materials, 'Q by Aston Martin' offers the tools to those who have an uninhibited desire to push the boundaries of what is achievable".
The work of Aston Martin's award-winning in-house design team - led by Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman - DBX manages to bring a level of sculpture and sleekness to a sector perhaps not normally known for elegance. The fastback look of DBX cleverly positions the visual mass of the car over the rear wheels, just as you see in Aston Martin's sports cars, but it does so without compromising ingress and egress. Meanwhile the long wheelbase not only provides excellent interior packaging, but also allows a lower, sleeker roofline, giving elegance to the overall shape. Despite the elegance inherent in this model, Aston Martin's darker side is personified in this unique example, portraying an aggressive, confident side of the marque through a range of bold features.

Lumma Design to give Aston Martin's box-fresh DBX the CLR treatment
Think the Aston Martin DBX could do with more daring styling? Well, Lumma Design has previewed its exclusive new kit for the crossover.
Lumma's version of the DBX will sport new wheelarch extensions and side-skirts with carbon-fibre inserts to lend it a more dynamic profile. Its stance has been further improved with a set of Lumma Sports forged alloy wheels with central locks. The German tuning firm has yet to confirm the wheel and tyre combination.
The front receives more aggressive face by means of a spoiler with a carbon-fibre blade, while the grille and bonnet air intakes are finished in the lightweight material, too. The rear continues the aggressive theme with a redesigned apron hosting a diffuser, spoiler lip and quad-pipe trims mated to a sports silencer. A three-piece spoiler lip and roof spoiler, meanwhile, promise to enhance the SUV’s aerodynamics.

Aston Martin to ditch Mercedes-AMG’s V8 for in-house developed V6
The head of Aston Martin has confirmed the British firm plans to stop using Mercedes-AMG’s V8 engine and replace it with an in-house developed V6 hybrid.
Speaking to Car and Driver, Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer suggested Mercedes-AMG’s rumoured move away from large-capacity engines to electrified four-cylinders would not work for the Gaydon-based firm.
Under a technical agreement between the two companies, many current Aston products – including the base DB11, Vantage and new DBX – employ a version of Affalterbach’s twin-turbo 4,0-litre V8 petrol engine. But that looks set to change.
"Mercedes have made no secret of where their engine technology is moving to, and obviously we don't foresee four-cylinder engines in our Astons. So we’ve got to make our own journey," Palmer told the US-based publication.
He went on to suggest one of the most crucial parts of the new 3,0-litre V6 hybrid to get right was sound.

Aston Martin mulling sportier DBX variant (and seven-seater) – report
A fresh report out of Australia claims Aston Martin is considering expanding its DBX range with a sportier version (designed to tackle the Lamborghini Urus) as well as a seven-seat variant.
According to GoAuto.com.au, the proposed Urus-fighting derivative will feature a “more coupé-like silhouette” and an “aggressively sporty design”. Interestingly, the report makes no mention of upgrades to the DBX’s Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4,0-litre V8, which offers 405 kW and 700 N.m in the standard model.

Aston secures financial future, confirms DBX production and F1 entry
Aston secures the funds to put its DBX SUV into production, while also announcing a works F1 entry under new chairman Lawrence Stroll
Aston Martin claims it now has the funding to last at least the next 12 months as part of a new investment into the company that will also see it enter a works Formula 1 team in 2021.
In a series of announcements this evening (30 March), Aston Martin has now formally confirmed F1 team Racing Point owner Lawrence Stroll will take over as executive chairman on 20 April. A rights issue has raised £536 million and a further £150m will be made available to the company.
That investment will allow Aston to put the DBX SUV into production imminently after the new St Athan facility returns to operation after its COVID-19-enforced shutdown last week, subject to any delays in the production chain. The first customer deliveries are planned this summer should the supply chain function as anticipated.

Aston Martin plots new DBX seven-seater and coupe
British marque will add more versions of SUV next year following healthy demand for the standard car
Aston Martin has confirmed that it plans to add more “derivatives” of its new DBX SUV in 2021, thanks to a healthy book of orders for the standard car.
The announcement was made as part of the firm’s first-quarter financial report, in which new executive chairman Lawrence Stroll said the Porsche Cayenne rival’s launch plan remains on track despite shutdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Stroll said: “With St Athan reopened safely last week, I’m extremely pleased that the DBX remains on track for deliveries in the summer and has a strong order book behind it extending into 2021.
“Based on these successful initial orders for the DBX, we plan to unveil future derivatives starting from 2021.”

Finally! Aston Martin DBX production officially kicks off in Wales
The first full-production version of the new Aston Martin DBX has finally rolled off the assembly line at the company’s St Athan facility in Wales.
The Gaydon-based firm has confirmed first deliveries to customers will take place later in July.
Aston Martin says “around 80 percent” of the DBX units produced in Wales will be exported. South Africa will be one of the markets to which the SUV is shipped, with the brand’s local arm announcing pricing late in 2019. That starting figure, however, has since increased to R3 899 000.
Keith Stanton, Aston Martin’s interim chief operating officer, said it was “a real privilege to be here today to witness the completion of the first production Aston Martin DBX”.

Aston Martin DBX 2020 UK review
Should I buy one?
At this point, I need to stop asking myself which Aston I would rather be driving and wonder which of the DBX’s competitors I would rather be driving instead. The Urus? More dynamic but brittler. The Porsche Cayenne? Bombastic but firm. The Bentayga? Plusher but blunter. The Range Rover? Well, there’s always pleasure to be had driving one, but its character is more 4x4 than SUV.
No, on most given roads, in most given circumstances, the DBX would be the SUV that’s the most pleasing to drive; the one that feels, if anything, most like a taller, rear-wheel-drive, pseudo-sporting luxury saloon but with better visibility. It isn’t perfect – no car is – but what it gets right, it really does get right.
Does it feel like an Aston? Let’s put it this way: it doesn’t not feel like an Aston. Alongside some long-bonnet coupés and short-bonnet supercars, it feels like the right third leg to the brand’s line-up, something that will become an invaluable part of what looks to be shaping into a usefully diverse range. When officials leave office, sometimes they leave a kind note on the desk for their successor. Palmer has been rather more generous than that.
