DBX - Q by Aston Martin & JWW

Q by Aston Martin is the ultimate bespoke personalisation service offered by the factory. Every product they create is developed and engineered with the same attention to details as every Aston Martin product. Therefore the unique personalisation applied enjoys the same manufacturer warranty.

The journey of creating a DBX by Q started as a means of celebrating the remarkable ability of this lovingly crafted model. It is also a journey intended to shine a light on the huge scope of work that Q can provide. A bespoke visit can cover anything from a unique stitch to a complete one-off Aston Martin.

Through this DBX Q by Aston Martin project, we wanted to show how you could create a beautiful, balanced and timeless specification. By using carefully considered, hand-selected enhancements, we have designed a DBX that enjoys a carefully judged style whilst remaining a car to be used and enjoyed.

Design Features

Q Exterior Choice

Lennox Green Metallic - a unique colour that is a modification of Slip Stream Green, originally created for the Aston Martin Valkyrie. A silky and highly metallic paint developed to accentuate the lines and style of the DBX

Curtis Black Metallic - another unique colour mixed to create a dark and moody feel to the DBX. The sultry metallic black comes to life in the sun when a bronze metallic fleck comes alive, complimenting those unique Q features throughout the car

Q INTERIOR CHOICE

Pure Black Alcantara

Oxford Tan Leather

Q GRAB HANDLES

Q WHEELS​

A wonderful piece of hand-stitched craftsmanship, a subtle feature that accentuates the bronze theme running throughout the car.

The lightweight Sports wheel have been finished in a combination of gloss black with a bronze tint diamond turned face.

ALCANTARA DIM BINNACLE AND SEATING

Q INTERIOR DETAILING - BILLET MACHINED KNURLING PACK

​This is the first DBX to be offered with Alcantara. A unique feature (not available on standard order cars) giving the driving environment a dynamic and sporty ambience.

A wonderful, hand finished detail providing a dark anodized, tactile aspect to the cabin finish. It accentuates the bespoke craftsmanship of this vehicle tailored Aston Martin.

BLACK ASTON MARTIN WING BADGING WITH BRONZE HIGHLIGHTS

Q FENDER BADGE

It is a rare and enormous honour to be able to assign unique Aston Martin wing badges to this DBX. Hugely protective of their iconic emblem, Aston Martin have granted special approval to create this stunning wing design as the perfect finishing touch to the DBX.

A discreet aluminium Q badge sits on the front fenders, finished in anodised bronze as a nod to the bespoke nature of this DBX.

JWW

Automotive personality, prolific content creator and Sunday Times journalist, JWW has achieved over 130 Million views on his YouTube channel, sharing his experiences of the world’s most prestigious cars with a global audience of car enthusiasts. His passion for Aston's began at a young age: “One of my earliest encounters with an Aston Martin was at my uncle’s engineering workshop, he specialised in the restoration of classic Aston’s when I was growing up and in turn gave me my first work experience changing starter motors on DB5’s. Needless to say that after years of being a fan of this incredible brand, it is an extraordinary honour to partner with Q and Aston Martin on a production series of this truly special SUV”.

HWM Aston Martin

In 1948, HWM moved to Walton-on-Thames, a building which we still occupy today. This was the beginning of success for the brand - we began manufacturing our own race cars, which took the motoring world by storm and paved the way for British motorsport victory. HWM has enjoyed a rich history with Aston Martin. As the world’s longest-serving dealership, we have had the pleasure of handling the most beautiful and rare of Aston Martins for over 7 decades. This experience has equipped us with the knowledge and passion needed to sell special and limited-run models. The DBX – Q by Aston Martin & JWW was an irresistible opportunity. It has been a pleasure to support the creation of such a beautiful and timeless DBX.
