  "account": "The Aston Martin DBX now comes in a new GT variant, emphasizing luxury and comfort. Aston Martin's luxury SUV was already refined, but the GT version aims to highlight the brand's craftsmanship. The GT contrasts with the performance-focused DBX S model, offering bespoke styling and design elements. Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark noted that the DBX GT caters to customers prioritizing elegance over sportiness and seeking enhanced luxury. The GT features a refined appearance, with a less aggressive look compared to the DBX S. A new double-vaned front grille, daytime running lights integrated into its outer elements, and two-piece metal side strakes with contrasting finishes are some of the GT's signature design features. The rear boasts quad exhaust finishers with polished and satin anodised finishes, and side-by-side tailpipes instead of the vertical stack on the DBX S. The GT retains the same 727hp 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine as the DBX S, delivering identical performance with a 0-60mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 193mph. Larger 22-inch Satin Titanium alloy wheels are standard, though larger 23-inch options are available as add-ons. The interior has been upgraded with memory foam seats, incorporating 10mm of memory foam for added comfort. The cabin uses extensive semi-aniline leather, with 691 meters of thread and 3,297 perforation holes in a single front seat, all handcrafted by Aston Martin's artisans, taking more than 4.5 hours each. Additional sound deadening, improved cabin sealing, and deep-pile carpets contribute to the luxury makeover, enhancing the performance of the premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system. A panoramic sunroof comes standard, featuring anodised metal for the rotary drive controller and other switches on the center console. Aston Martin also tuned the DBX GT's suspension, recalibrated the automatic transmission, and adjusted the exhaust note, giving the SUV a distinct personality. The project aimed to improve comfort and refinement for everyday use without sacrificing the DBX's class-leading performance and handling. John Redfern reports that orders for the Aston Martin DBX GT can be placed now, with deliveries expected before the end of 2026.",
  "summary": "The Aston Martin DBX has gained a new derivative, with the GT version focused squarely on enhanced comfort and refinement. Although Aston Martin’s luxury SUV was hardly a pared-back vehicle to start with, the DBX GT is designed to showcase the levels of craftsmanship offered by the British marque. The new GT acts as a [...]",
