Ahead of the start of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship™ season in Bahrain this Sunday, the world’s most powerful ultra-luxury SUV, Aston Martin DBX707, is announced as an Official FIA Medical Car of Formula 1. Aston Martin‘s newest SUV has received significant engine, transmission, suspension, brake upgrades, pin-point dynamics, new commanding body styling, and an upgraded interior. Also key to the dynamic feel of the car, Pirelli, Formula 1® Global Tyre Partner, provides specifically developed P Zero tyres underlining the DBX707’s driver-focused credentials.
Reaching 0-60mph in just 3.1 seconds, DBX707 boasts 707PS with 900NM of torque. Engineered with an abundance of character and compelling capability, the drivers of the Official Medical Car of Formula 1® will now be able to get the medics to where they are needed faster than before.
The DBX707 will be fully adapted and equipped for its role as the Official FIA Medical Car. It will carry the essential equipment like fire extinguishers, medical bags and a defibrillator. The car is fitted with FIA-approved racing seats, each with a six-point racing harness as it will be driven to the limits on the track. The passengers will have access to communications from Race Control, and be able to see not only the FIA Marshalling system but biometric data from the F1® drivers and live television images, which will allow early assessment of any incident.
The now familiar sight of the Aston Martin Vantage FIA Safety Car leading the F1® cars around on the formation lap will remain in 2023 with a specially-adapted and equipped Aston Martin Vantage continuing as the Official Safety Car of Formula 1®. This one-of-a-kind Vantage is the fastest of its kind and equipped with FIA-specified safety equipment for its crucial role in F1®.
The Vantage FIA Safety Car is inspired by Aston Martin’s highly desirable Vantage Formula 1® Edition, which has proved a huge commercial success since being launched in 2021. Customer research shows that more than 72% of Vantage Formula 1® Edition owners have never previously owned an Aston Martin, further demonstrating the importance of Formula 1® as a crucial pillar of Aston Martin’s overall brand strategy.
Both, the Vantage and DBX707 are painted in the same iconic Aston Martin Racing Green colors as the two Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One™ Team cars driven by racer Lance Stroll and two-time F1® World Champion, Fernando Alonso.
