A high-end Aston Martin DBX, valued at over ₦600 million, recently met a tragic end in the Republic of South Africa after colliding with a 40-ton tipper truck. This rare luxury SUV, one of the few of its kind in the entire African continent, was involved in a significant accident, resulting in its complete destruction.
Images from the scene of the crash, shared by mzansiluxury, depict the aftermath of the collision, prompting onlookers to question the circumstances surrounding the incident. Thankfully, despite the severity of the crash, there were no fatalities reported.
In contrast to other luxury SUVs like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and the Bentley Bentayga, sightings of the Aston Martin DBX on Nigerian roads are exceedingly rare, if not non-existent. However, despite its scarcity, the DBX commands a staggering price tag of over ₦600 million in Nigeria, making it a symbol of opulence and exclusivity.
The Aston Martin DBX boasts formidable performance capabilities, driven by a Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine generating 542 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.
With such power under the hood, the DBX can achieve speeds surpassing 180 mph (290 km/h), offering a thrilling driving experience for those fortunate enough to own one.
