Brace: it’s Lumma Design’s Aston Martin DBX

The DBX isn’t even out yet, but already Lumma Design – you know, one of those mad German tuners like Novitec or Mansory – has had its way with Aston’s first SUV.

Available towards the end of this year for an undisclosed sum (read: lots), Lumma will only ever build 20 ‘CLR AM’ kits. It doesn’t say whether the kit includes any mechanical upgrades, but given the DBX uses the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 as the Vantage and most AMG Mercs, we know there’s more to be had than the standard 542bhp.

As for looks, “carbon as far as the eye can see” says the tuner. Not unlike Aston’s own Q-spec DBX, Lumma’s CLR AM is dripping with the stuff. You get fat wheel-arches hiding “centre-lock-look” wheels, much more aggressive, substantial front and rear bumpers and side skirts, as well as new spoilers and a diffuser.

Though Lumma hasn’t supplied pics, we’re told the interior is a carbon-fest too, with an “ergonomically optimised steering wheel”, carbon pedals and trim.

Aston needs to sell a load of DBXs to keep itself going, meaning all being well, you’ll see loads of them around. Is Lumma’s kit a decent way of setting yourself apart from the crowd? In a word, no. No it is not.
