Aston Martin's DBX GT Keeps All 717 Horsepower and Softens the Ride

Aston Martin has added a GT variant to its DBX SUV line, and what matters most to anyone weighing one is what it doesn't give up. The GT uses the V-8 from the DBX S, rated at 717 horsepower, with no change in output. The difference lies in how it treats the people on board: the suspension has been set up for a gentler ride, and the interior has been made more luxurious. Aston Martin has kept the power at the top of the range and moved the chassis and cabin toward comfort. For a buyer in Palm Beach or Aspen choosing between the two, the deciding factor is now the kind of ride they want, because both cars have the same engine. We haven't driven the GT. The engine, the suspension and the cabin are the only details reported so far, and this story covers nothing beyond them.
