Aston Martin SUV!!....?

Stumbled upon this on the net. Just wondering if there is any truth to it? Even though it's more of a cross-over than an SUV but I'm really liking it. It certainly would be perfect as a family hauler (as opposed to the Rapide) or a companion to a Vanquish, DB11 or even a Vantage. If AM builds it like it is, my check book would be wide open. Note to self: time to start saving up and back to eating those instant ramen noodles again...

SUV- Crossover market has been hot for awhile. People want them and trucks...cars are out of favor.
SUV's make money for the manufacturer's I would believe next step for AM with adding Electric cars... possibly hybrids....
Electric is fast in a sports based car...
I have not read of AM SUV yet...neat find.

Pretty cool photoshop, but that's just someone's interpretation of what an Aston SUV might look like (if Aston were to inflate a DB11 like a balloon).

That said, Mr Palmer did talk about making the "world's first beautiful SUV, since no SUV on the market is truly beautiful" when he spoke at the British embassy a couple days ago - and he didn't call it the DBX, just "SUV".

If they want to stay in business they should make an awesome one, fill the market above the cayenne turbo S range rover and the G wagon but below the bentayga

(and I will look forward to owning a 5 year old one at a greatly depreciated rate )

The DBX wasn't a 'bad' concept AM SUV, but I much prefer the rendering above... I think there is room to easily out do the latest Tesla SUV.


People thought Porsche was nuts making an SUV and look at what a cash cow that was.. AM needs something to sell in volume to float the next coupe development. I wouldn't mind seeing a bunch of AM SUVs out there.. But still have the AM sports cars be super rare.

I think that is the most beautiful SUV to date, but why should we expect less?


FCKerbeck had the lot LOADED with the new Maserati SUV's and the market for upscale models is there, if this can give AM a cash boost I can't wait to see one in the wild.

Did you miss the part about this being a complete photoshop? The DBX concept that was unveiled looks nothing like this, and most consider it pretty strange looking and far from beautiful.

We're in a climate of fake news, but you have to admit it's a really beautiful SUV, and looks like an Aston to me

I think I remember some fugly looking crossover something. But they've got to be seriously considering this kind of design to get a share of this market. Not some fugly looking thing, but one that stirs the passion. I think it looks better than the DB11 it's synthesized from.

Aston will make an SVU. The stars are aligned. The DB11 is an all new design and they have an arrangement with Mercedes. As noted earlier, people thought Porsche had lost it mind when they built one, now it probably makes more money for them than any other model. SUV.s in the US market is huge, and if they do it right and don't screw it up it can be a huge success.

I spent three weeks in Europe recently and saw the Maserati SUV everywhere. Aston Martin could hit a home run with a hand built high end SUV.
