Aston is out doing performance testing on its
, the
. One of our spy photographers caught it running around the Nürburgring a short while ago, and now we have sound to go along with it. There are also a few shots of the interior that show off some of
‘ contributions to the
. If we had to guess, we’d say Mercedes-AMG is also providing the loud beast hiding underneath the hood, too.
In listening to the DBX pounding around the Ring, it sounds a whole lot like the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 found in all the extra-hot
vehicles, from the
to the
. It’s a guttural, nasty sound we’ve grown accustomed to out of these vehicles, and now that Aston is already using this engine for the

, it’s no stretch to think they’d use it again.
The interior features a lot of Mercedes switchgear upon close inspection. It’s impossible to confirm, but the font, menus and layout of the infotainment system look a whole lot like
. Then the array of climate controls, rotary knob and buttons around it look just like the stuff out of a modern Mercedes. If you zoom way in on the key sitting in the dash, we can even see a little of what might be a three-pointed star on it. At any rate, the key is identical to what new Mercedes keys look like today. Moving on to the steering wheel, we see the exact same setup as what’s on the spokes of pretty much every Mercedes equipped with MBUX. Everything down to the symbols and black touch-sensitive buttons show up here.
It’s important to remember this vehicle is still a prototype, so things could change. As for the exterior, we don’t get to see anything new there beyond what Aston
awhile back. It’s still wearing all the same camouflage, touting sponsors/suppliers to go along with the same zany green, yellow and red look. Aston has previously said the DBX will be officially revealed before the end of this year, and we’ll expect it to go on sale in 2020.
