The beating heart of DBX707 is its uprated 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8; the enabler for this car to stake its claim as the most powerful luxury SUV in the world. Enhanced in almost every way compared with the DBX, the engine now delivers 707PS through an all-new nine-speed wet-clutch transmission with faster shifts and quicker launches. As a result, DBX707 is capable accelerating from 0-62mph in just 3.3 seconds. All that prodigious power and performance is kept in check with the standard fitment of Carbon Ceramic brakes, which also help sharpen handling by reducing unsprung mass by more than 40kg.
Key to the DBX707’s exceptional handling is its air suspension system. Retaining the basic architecture and triple volume air chambers of the DBX V8 – already regarded as the best-handling SUV in the market – DBX707 features a dedicated chassis tune optimised for an even more intense driving experience. Starting with the suspension, DBX707 features improved body control and steering response compared with the standard DBX, while the electronic power steering system has also been adjusted to improve steering feel.
