Aston Martin is celebrating the successful start of the 2023 Formula One season by releasing a limited-edition version of the DBX707. Called the AMR23 Edition, the 697-horsepower supercar on stilts gets a sleek exterior design inspired by the brand’s Formula One cars. You don’t have to be an experienced car spotter to tell the AMR23 version apart from the regular-production DBX707. Designed by Aston Martin’s in-house personalization division, Q, it is inspired by the podium green paint, lime-colored exterior accents found on the company’s Formula One cars, and Aston Martin Racing Green brake calipers. Subtle fender-mounted Q emblems complete the look. The interior also gets a makeover. The seats are upholstered in two-tone Inspire Sport Duotone Onyx Black and Eiffel Green leather, with lime colored contrast stitching and carbon fiber trim everywhere you look. The door sills also feature the AMR23 logo. Don’t expect to find Formula One-like power under the hood, though the DBX707 isn’t exactly lacking in this department to begin with. Power is a twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 borrowed from Mercedes-AMG and tuned in-house to develop 697 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 663 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. Bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission, the eight-cylinder sends the DBX707 from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 193 mph. A standard carbon fiber driveshaft without a center bearing saves weight. The 2023 Aston Martin DBX707 AMR23 Edition is now on sale. Pricing and production figures haven’t been revealed yet, but don’t expect it to come cheap. For reference, the regular-production DBX707 starts at around $292,000, a $70,000 premium over the regular DBX. And, if the Formula One-inspired look isn’t hardcore enough, there’s always the aftermarket. Mansory builds the DBX with a love-it-or-hate-it body kit that includes massive fenders and two (!) spoilers, and a heavily-modified, 800-horsepower evolution of the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine.
