Tuning an SUV is never a good idea, as the
revised stance could turn it into a confused hatchback-looking thing. We’ve
seen it happen to the Lamborghini Urus, and now it’s time for the Aston Martin
DBX to suffer the same fate. At the hands of Lumma Design, the British model
has been equipped with the CLR AM body kit, whose production will be capped at
20 units and sales will begin in the fourth quarter of the year.
The conversion includes wheel arch
extensions, bulky side skirts, front and rear bumpers, grille frame in visible
carbon, a new rear diffuser and tailgate-mounted spoiler. It also wears red
lipstick at the front, sports more red accents on the lower parts of the body,
and features the ‘Lumma CLR AM’ badging at the rear. Lumma is still trying to
decide on what the best wheel/tire combo is before launching the bundle of
upgrades.
Unfortunately, we cannot show you the
cabin of the tuned DBX yet, but Lumma said that they have added an
ergonomically optimized steering wheel, with carbon fiber inserts, custom pedal
pads and more trim made from the lightweight material scattered throughout the
interior. Aside from the visual makeover inside and out, the tuner will also
launch other components for the British SUV, which will include chassis
modifications and extra power.
The stock variant has a 542 HP and 700 Nm of torque 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, made by AMG,
which rockets it to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and up to a top speed of 291 km/h. It works in conjunction with a 9-speed automatic
transmission and all-wheel drive with active differentials.
