Aston Martin is once again celebrating the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team with the release of an exclusive AMR24 Edition for the world’s most powerful ultra-luxury SUV: the DBX707. Named after the brand’s Formula 1 challenger, the AMR24 Edition is a DBX707 that shares a racing identity with both the AMR24 F1 car and the Official Medical Car of Formula 1. The DBX707 AMR24 Edition raises its road presence even further with a curation of unique colour and trim features.

DBX707 AMR24 Edition exterior styling

Outside, the AMR24 Edition can be ordered with a choice of three exterior paint options, namely Podium Green, Onyx Black or Neutron White paint. These are complimented by Aston Martin Racing Green or AMR Lime brake calipers and paired with the 23-inch Fortis wheel in either satin or gloss black, as well as an exclusive AMR24 engine plaque underneath the bonnet.

The F1 connection between the road car and those on the track is further underlined with the addition of either Lime Green or Trophy Silver accents to the sculptured in either gloss black or carbon, reminiscent of those on both AMR24 F1 car and the Official Medical Car of Formula 1.

Inside the AMR24 Edition, the Inspire Sport trim is available in a choice of two colour-ways: Onyx black (Monotone) with a striking Lime stitch and piping, or Onyx Black / Eifel Green Duotone with a lime contrast stitch. Finer details can be specified with extended carbon fibre and dark chrome jewellery or titanium mesh complimented by satin chrome. The Aston Martin logo is also applied in foil to the dash panel and AMR24 is etched into the door sills, leaving occupants in no doubt of the Aston Martin racing bloodline. This identification is also supported by the application of a unique, lime hand-stitched saddle strap to the wireless charging station.

The AMR24 Edition gets a new sound system developed with Aston Martin’s audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins. Acoustically engineered to the DBX707’s interior volume and shape, this system uses technologies and innovations found in Bowers & Wilkins acclaimed world-class loudspeakers.

DBX707 AMR24 Edition performance

The AMR24 Edition is still powered by a tweaked Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0-litre V8 engine with new ball bearing turbochargers and a bespoke engine calibration to liberate more power and torque. It pushes out a whooping 520kW and 900Nm. It’s paired to a 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ automatic transmission which is said to be capable of managing much increased torque and deliver faster gear changes compared to a regular torque converter automatic. Aston Martin claims the DBX707 will sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 311km/h (193mph) making it the fastest production SUV in the world.
