Aston Martin DBX707, the world’s most powerful luxury SUV, has begun to roar off the assembly line at St Athan, Wales.

The first DBX707 customer car was completed, with the benchmark-setting model set to be shipped to more than 50 countries around the world over the coming months.

Hand-built at the British ultra-luxury manufacturer’s facility in St Athan, 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 502kW, DBX707 is capable of a maximum speed of 310km/h and can reach 0-100km/h in just 3.1 seconds. The new DBX707 is an SUV like no other, engineered with an abundance of character and compelling capability, 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.

Michael Straughan, Chief Operating Officer of Aston Martin Lagonda, said: “Aston Martin is immensely proud to be manufacturing industry-leading products like DBX707 from a world-class facility in Wales, and we are delighted to see the very first model completed.

“As the first car delivered through the product development cycle under the leadership of Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin Lagonda, DBX707 is a symbol of the new era for Aston Martin and the brand’s ability to combine ultra-luxury and high-performance.

“The initial reaction from customers and media has been tremendous, and as we ramp up DBX707 production at St Athan, it is fantastic that we have also had the opportunity to grow our team and create more employment opportunities for people from the local community.  Wales has a rich tradition of industrial and engineering excellence and we’re excited to be forging the future and to support that proud heritage.”
