Mansory Gives Aston Martin DBX Typically Outlandish Treatment

It’s tough to miss a car that’s been given a once-over in the house style of German tuning shop Mansory. A look at the firm’s recent catalog, and the Bentley Bentayga, Ferrari 812 GTS, and wild-child Ford GT that have been dressed up a la mode de la maison Mansory provides a good overview of the theatricality and intensity with which the shop inoculates these production cars.

So Mansory’s announcement of a package for the Aston Martin DBX, the automaker’s concession to the enduring appeal of the SUV body style, wasn’t surprising—it was only a matter of time. Where Aston succeeded with the DBX was in transferring the graceful cachet of its design sensibility to the SUV; the DBX is one attractive SUV, especially in profile, where it evokes both sports car and utilitarian shooting-party vehicle without looking contrived. A neat trick.

In this context, Mansory’s 800-level version comes off a bit like a double-breasted leather topcoat over a single-breasted Savile Row suit. But that’s part of the fun, and the visual busyness of the bumpers, the rear wings, and the big hips (the Mansory DBX comes with a wide-body kit) transform elegance into a track-inspired underdog. Performance tweaks to the DBX’s AMG 4.0L V8 give drivers 800 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to enjoy. The Mansory DBX 800 can hit 62 MPH in 3.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 202, making it faster than the production Lamborghini Urus.

Interior details can be adjusted according to order, but Mansory offers a large catalog of special upholstery and trim materials to customers. And, of course, the generous Mansory badging that identifies this DBX as having been customized.
