Aston Martin

Aston Martin aims to “create the world’s most thrilling and highly desirable electric performance cars” and says its upcoming BEV models will feature P Zero tyres and Pirelli Cyber Tyre. But it is not planning to depart the combustion engine stage quietly, and in celebration of its 110th anniversary has revealed the Michelin-equipped V12 Valour.

The Aston Martin DBX707’s engine generates 707 horsepower and 900Nm of torque, making it the world’s most powerful SUV. To use that power on the road, the model needs high-quality tyres. For its original tyres, Aston enlisted long-term partner Pirelli. The Italian manufacturer will supply specially tuned P Zero and Scorpion Zero All Season ultra-high performance tyres to the DBX707. Pirelli has supplied tyres to many previous Aston models, including the DBS, Vantage, and original DBX models. It is a leading tyre brand in the global performance and luxury car segment.

Aston Martin’s new DBX will be exclusively fitted with a range of three Pirelli tyres – the P Zero for the DBX, the Scorpion Zero AS and the Scorpion Winter. The news follows three years of joint development work that began with laboratory testing before moving on to outdoor testing in varied conditions.
