Engineering and Performance

Power & Legacy

The introduction of the DBX S heralds the emphatic return of the storied 'S' badge, a designation that has long signified a special, high-performance evolution within the Aston Martin stable. This tradition mandates that an 'S' model must be lighter, faster, and more dynamically refined than its predecessor. The lineage of the 'S' suffix is prestigious, starting as early as the 1953 DB3S racing car and later adorning celebrated production models such as the original DBS in 1967 and the Vanquish S, which debuted in 2004, establishing a clear link between this flagship SUV and Aston Martin's rich motorsport heritage.

Power & Legacy

The Pinnacle of SUV Power

As the latest chapter in this high-performance narrative, the DBX S stands at the absolute pinnacle of ultra-luxury SUV performance, designed to be the fastest and most powerful SUV in the world using only an internal combustion engine. This position is cemented not only by its sheer power, derived from Valhalla-inspired turbo technology, but also by a comprehensive suite of mechanical enhancements that transform its character. These range from a faster-acting steering rack and finely calibrated suspension to aggressive styling cues like the quad-stacked exhausts and the exclusive option of 23-inch magnesium wheels.
