Inspected by the Secretary of State for Wales, Simon Hart MP and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales, David Davies MP, the very first DBX707 customer car was completed today, with the benchmark-setting model set to be shipped to more than 50 countries around the world over the coming months.
Proudly hand built at the British
ultra-luxury manufacturer’s facility in St Athan, Wales, the DBX707
elevates Aston Martin to the pinnacle of the luxury SUV segment with a
unique combination of blistering performance, supreme dynamics,
unmistakable style, and absolute luxury.
Providing immense power
with its signature 707 PS, the DBX707 is capable of a maximum speed of
193 mph and can reach 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. The DBX707 is an SUV
like no other, engineered with an abundance of character and compelling
capability, the DBX707 is the ultimate SUV in every respect.
More
than 100 new skilled automotive technicians have been recruited by
Aston Martin at St Athan to support the ramp-up of DBX707 production,
with the DBX model the first Welsh-built production car for almost 50
years.
The Secretary of State for Wales, Simon Hart, said: "It’s great to see the iconic Aston Martin brand roll off the production line in here in Wales, before being exported to countries around the world. The success of the DBX707 is testament to the highly skilled and hard-working team, and it’s fascinating to see how they work. I want Wales to be a highly attractive location for cutting-edge automotive technologies and the UK Government will continue to work to secure and support the investment of companies, like Aston Martin, as they drive economic growth and create jobs."
