The striking Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition will be limited to just 18 units, and lucky buyers will be treated to the trip of a lifetime.

Like literally every other carmaker on the planet, Aston Martin wants some of that sweet, sweet SUV cash. Who am I to argue" If there’s money to be made, you’d be pretty bad at business to pass that by. Aston Martin, being ever so British, is not content to leave well enough alone. Oh no, they partnered with Bowmore to make a limited version of their DBX SUV, the Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition.

An Interesting Partnership

Of course, Aston Martin finds itself in an odd position. The company has long been “More than a Jaguar” but also “Less than a Rolls Royce or Bentley.” In other words, they are oh-so-close to the upper crust and high class, but everyone knows they’re no Rolls Royce et al. Usually, this isn’t a problem, since Aston Martins are classy and fast whereas Rolls Royce cars are classy and fat and slow.
This becomes a problem when you’re trying to make an SUV, which is already quite different from the sports cars Aston is known for. And if Rolls, with the Cullinan, and Bentley, with the Bentayga, are pretty much at the top of the classy, over-stuffed heap, then what should Aston Martin do"
