DMC Aston Martin DBX: Over 800 hp, some carbon fiber and Spanish passions.

The German tuning studio DMC has presented its vision of a British crossover Aston Martin DBX: updated engine allowed significantly improve dynamic characteristics, but carbon fiber décor may seem a little vulgar.

Presented two years ago, the DBX crossover became the long-awaited «sales steam train» of Aston Martin, but in terms of power and dynamics it yields to top competitors like Lamborghini Urus and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, therefore all kinds of tuning studios try to earn money by «pimping» it.

In November, we told you about the monster-looking Aston Martin DBX from German tuning studio Mansory, and now we present you the competing project from DMC about the same level, but with a little less pretentious design.

Atelier DMC from Ratingen exists since 2009 and makes money mainly on manufacturing and sales of carbon fiber bodykits for Italian and British sports cars, it also has an engineering department for complex tuning of cars.

The German specialists could not ignore the Aston Martin DBX and made it into a Fuerte project, which means «strong, powerful, advanced» in Spanish.

Mercedes 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine (M177), which is equipped in the factory DBX, has received new, more productive turbochargers, sports air filter with reduced drag, sports exhaust system and a new control program, so the maximum output has increased from 550 hp and 700 Nm to 808 hp and 1000 Nm.

The transmission is the same (Mercedes 9-speed hydromechanics), but with new settings. Acceleration time to 100 km/h decreased from 4.5 to 3.8 seconds, the maximum speed rose from 291 to 328 km/h.

Fuerte design is more modest than the Mansory, but no less controversial — black spoilers on the sides of the front bumper and carbon fiber «blades» diffuser in the rear bumper look garish.

The stern, as well as in Mansory, has two spoilers at once, but less relief and without vertical stabilizers.

Openwork wheels PUR Wheels up to 24 inches in diameter complete the image.

For the interior, the author offers carbon fiber plastic decor or wooden inserts, as well as new leather upholstery with contrast stitching. The cost of the modifications has not been named yet.

Let’s add that the company Aston Martin itself cannot or does not want to offer its customers a more powerful DBX, and on the contrary, goes down: in November, the Straight Six version debuted for the Chinese market with a 3.0-liter Mercedes M256 engine (435 hp and 520 Nm) and soft-hybrid extras.

It is known for a long time that power is not the main thing for Chinese, they are ready to take DBX even with 2,0-liter engine, so the British still have where to fall down. And German tuners will always help to rise.
