Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin couldn’t have imagined, back in 1914, that the name of their automotive adventure would one day be represented on one of the most impressive luxurious buildings in the world.
In 2013, Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler AG agreed to supply Aston Martin Lagonda V8 engines. The partnership has also seen the introduction of a straight-six option for the DBX for the Chinese market.
Some might say the DBX deserves everything bad that happens to it for becoming the model that transformed Aston Martin from a British company that made flawed but ultimately characterful sports cars into yet another builder of SUVs.
Manny Khoshbin’s latest video shows him going to try out yet another car – Aston Martin’s first SUV, the DBX. But this time, it’s not for him or his wife, but for the nanny. And it's a one-of-a-kind model.
The sports utility vehicle (SUV) market is glowing hot right now, and automakers are trying to take advantage of every opportunity this trend has to offer. From regular to luxury or performance vehicles, from gas-powered to hybrid or electric drivetrains, from compact size to enormous seven or eight seaters, one can find an impressive selection out there. Maybe more than in any other automotive category.
