DBX Protoypes

(2018 - 2019)

Quite possibly the biggest and most important car launch for AML was be the much anticipated DBX, the marques first entry into the SUV market. Before any official image of the new car was shown, AML used every possible opportunity to showcase the new car even using disguised prototypes in public. Probably the first view of the car was in a short film with a disguised DBX charging through a Welsh forest, released in November 2018.

Another prototype DBX made a surprise visit to No.10 Downing Street to celebrate St David’s Day in 2019. At the same time, other cars were shown being tested at Pirelli’s official test facility, close to the Arctic Circle in Sweden.

All the photos of disguised prototypes were taken at an event at the Gaydon facility during the autumn of 2019. The yellow car is a much earlier development example whereas the red one is probably a later pre-production prototype and one of the first cars to be built at the new St Athan facility in Wales.

The production of the DBX was slightly affected by the Covid Pandemic but the first true production car came off the line during July 2020.
