Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition unveiled
Limited-run DBX created in partnership with Bowmore whisky distilleryAston Martin's bespoke Q division has released pictures of its new Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition that will be limited to just 18 units and priced from £219,950 ($A395,000) when deliveries begin in late 2021.
Created to pay tribute to the famous Scottish single malt whisky, Bowmore, the special DBX gets cosmetic revisions over the standard Aston Martin DBX that include a set of black brake callipers, smoked alloy wheels and copper-coloured side strakes.
The latter is claimed to be a nod towards Bowmore's copper-pot stills.
The DBX's unique colour, meanwhile, is called Bowmore Blue and has been specially created for the scotch-inspired limited-edition.
Inside, the tweaks continue. The dash and centre console, for example, feature copper foil detailing, while the cup holders are made from polished copper that has been melted down from original Bowmore stills.
Buyers of the special Aston Martin DBX will be offered two leather upholstery options – Obsidian or a blend of Copper Tan and Obsidian. Both are combined with Bowmore tweed that's used on the transmission tunnel, door bins, central storage compartment and glovebox.
A range of accessories will also be offered to match the car, according to Aston Martin Q. These include a Bowmore tweed picnic blanket and branded leather hold-all.
If that's not enough to convince wealthy whisky-loving buyers in the market for a luxury SUV, Aston Martin will also invite new owners on a 270km road trip around Scotland that will take in Lock Lomond and the Trossachs before boarding a ferry to Islay for a VIP tour around the Bowmore distillery.
Once there, each buyer will be offered the opportunity to fill their own bottle of 39-year-old single malt direct from the cask.
Under the bonnet, the Aston Martin DBX remains standard, which means the special-edition comes powered by a Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 (405kW/700Nm). That's enough for a 0-100km/h sprint of just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 291km/h.
The new Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition is expected to be available for all global markets, but there's no word yet on an Australian allocation.
