It’s basically an inevitability that when a car manufacturer enters Formula 1, a special edition road car will follow. Aston Martin’s done it once already with the Vantage F1 Edition, which actually went above and beyond the usual suite of stickers and new paint colours. Its latest effort, though, reverts to type: the Aston Martin DBX707 AMR24 Edition.
Mechanically, it’s unchanged from the standard DBX707, but that still means a thunderous 4.0-litre twin-turbo AMG-sourced V8 pushing out 697bhp and 664lb ft of torque, a 0-62mph time of 3.1 seconds and a 193mph top speed.

Externally, though, it gets some rather brash paint colours inspired by Aston’s F1 team, as well as the 707’s role as the medical car at various Grands Prix. If you want to go full Lancenando Alonstroll cosplay, you’ll need to go for the combo of Podium Green with Lime Green accents seen in these images. If you find that a bit much, though, you can also choose Onyx Black or Neutron White, and pair them with more restrained Trophy Silver highlights.
The interior comes in a choice of two fairly eye-popping schemes, too: black, or a black and green two-tone, both of which get some lurid lime green piping. Should your wallet extend further (and let’s be honest, it probably does if you’re buying one of these), you can spec various interior bits in bare carbon or titanium mesh.

Aston also throws in as standard the excellent 1600w Bowers & Wilkins sound system, an option on the regular DBX707. And that’s about it: it’s a DBX707 with a few options and some spangly colours. Even so, it’s definitely towards the least cynical end of the motorsport special edition spectrum, because it uses a mightily impressive car as its base.
There’s no word on how many will be made, or how much it’ll cost – expect a small increase from the base car’s circa £205,000 entry point – but the DBX707 AMR24 Edition is now available to order.
