The safety guards at Aston Martin’s Gaydon headquarters have all of it proper.
They patrol the campus from the confines of an understated however fairly fetching white Aston Martin DBX of 2020 classic (silver wheels, too). Except for the truth that their counterparts in Maranello are unlikely ever to seek out themselves luxuriating behind the wheel of a £313k Ferrari Purosangue, there’s nothing uncommon about this.

It’s honest to say that because it was launched in 2019, the DBX has been on a journey. As a driver’s automotive, it has at all times represented an unusually candy mix of consolation and dealing with within the super-SUV sphere, however its final raison d’être has at all times been to promote, promote, promote – to assist the agency’s backside line by efficiently competing in what’s a worthwhile however brutally fierce class.
