The Aston Martin DBX 707 is a truly brutish SUV offering up extraordinary levels of performance housed within an aggressive-looking package that also offers up plenty of luxury. Unfortunately, one example with just 196 miles (315 km) on the clock recently met an unfortunate fate in the U.S. and is now available through IAAI.
IAAI has listed the DBX 707 up for sale through its Long Island, New York branch and while the exterior of the SUV looks pristine, it has found its way to a salvage yard after being flooded. It is unclear if a storm led to the Aston Martin flooding or if the driver perhaps entered water just a little too deep but the result is a vehicle that clearly needs some TLC.

Photos shared online by IAAI show the Aston Martin’s water line but we can’t for the life of us work out what part is shown in this photo. Regardless, it doesn’t appear as though the SUV was fully submerged as the interior looks very clean and there are no signs of the carpets being flooded. Additionally, a photo showing the DBX’s odometer confirms that at least some of its electronic systems remain functional.
As mentioned, the exterior looks as good as it did when the SUV first left the factory. It is bathed in a lovely shade of grey and sits on a set of black wheels over bright yellow brake calipers. It has also been optioned with a host of carbon fiber parts, including the lower portion of the front and rear bumpers, the side skirts, and the wing mirrors.
Driving the DBX 707 is the same basic twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 as the standard model but grunt has jumped by 155 horses and 147 lb-ft (200 Nm) to a cool 697 hp and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm). That gives it an almost 50 hp edge over the Lamborghini Urus but is 18 hp shy of the Ferrari Purosangue’s 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12. However, the Aston does have a significant torque advantage over the Ferrari’s 528 lb-ft (716 Nm).
