Why the Aston Martin DBX707 AMR24 matters

In the rare air of ultra-luxury performance cars, a link with F1 racing is one of the few associations that’s even cooler. In the second half of the 2023 F1 season and so far in the current season, the two-driver F1 teams from Aston Martin and McLaren Racing have both enjoyed success pushing against Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes, the giants of Formula 1. Aston Martin is comfortably in the top five of the ten Formula 1 teams this season, and in several very real senses, that’s money in the bank.

Aston Martin is shrewdly using its F1 link and the company’s Vantage GT3 race car, which is also new this year. Last month, Aston Martin unveiled the Valiant special edition based on a custom design for a personal car, developed by Aston Martin F1 driver Fernando Alonso and Q by Aston Martin, the brand’s bespoke and limited edition branch.

The DBX707 AMR24 uses the same powertrain and performance mechanicals as the DBX707 SUV Supercar. A twin-turbocharged 40-liter V8 engine cranks out 707 PS (697 hp) and 900 nm of torque (664 lb-ft). The car has a 9-speed wet-clutch automatic transmission, and its all-wheel-drive powertrain accelerates from 0-to-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 193 mph.

The DBX707 AMR24 features unique F1-inspired exterior and interior colorways, finishes, materials, and accents, including special edition badging. The special edition also includes a new Bowers & Wilkins sound system, acoustically engineered for the DBX707’s shape and volume.

Customers can order the Aston Martin DBX707 AMR24 now.

F1: Toyota Gazoo Racing partners with Haas in mutually supportive roles

Haas can benefit immediately while Toyota plays a longer game

There's a new partnership in Formula 1 racing, and it raises at least one significant question. MoneyGram Haas F1 Team and Toyota Gazoo Racing, the motorsport division of Toyota Motor Corporation, announced a new technical partnership today. Ferrari currently supplies the engines for Haas race cars. With Toyota now being the Haas team's official technical partner, does that mean Haas will switch to Toyota power units in the future?
Why this new partnership matters

Haas is a relatively new team in Formula 1, starting in 2016. During its entire F1 undertaking, Haas has used Ferrari power units and transmissions. Haas is the only American team in F1. Haas is currently in seventh position in Constructors' Championship points this season and has its sights set higher. However, it does not have the same resources as several of the much larger teams.

The Ultimate Race: F1 car vs Rally car vs Drift car vs Pro4 Truck

Leveling the strengths of race cars with a custom track

Four-car showdown - four mixed-type Red Bull race vehicles

F1 is the elite motorsport, but does that mean F1 race cars are the fastest overall? Red Bull raced four race vehicle types with pro drivers, including an F1 race car, a drift car, a rally car, and a Pro4 truck. To keep it fair, Red Bull also built a custom hybrid track near Houston, Texas, letting each vehicle use its best capabilities.
The competitors

F1 veteran Patrick Friesacher drove the championship-winning RB7 Formula 1 car. Andrew Carlson showcased his Pro4 off-road truck, designed for short-course racing dominance. Rallycross expert Scott Speed joined in with his Subaru, bringing experience from multiple series. Drift superstar Mad Mike Whiddett added some flair with his custom-built “MADMAC” MacLaren hypercar.

Alpine F1 team and San Antonio Spurs team up to show apparel at the Paris Motor Show for the Austin, Texas Grand Prix of America

Collaborative teamwear blends the excitement of both teams during the F1 Grand Prix in Austin

The San Antonio Spurs and BWT Alpine Formula One Team have teamed up with global lifestyle brand New Era for a new headwear and clothing collection. The five-piece line combines key branding elements from both the Spurs and Alpine, showcasing the Spurs' signature black, white, and silver color scheme. Fans and collectors can purchase the collection online, at the Paris Motor Show, and at Spurs and BWT Alpine Formula One Team pop-up stores during the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix event in Austin, TX.
Why the F1 Alpine team and the Spurs collaborated
F1 teams frequently partner and collaborate with other entities, such as with the Alpine F1 team's one-time livery switch to promote Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine film during the Belgian Grand Prix in July. The Spurs and the F1 Alpine collaboration cross-promotes both teams. New Era has existing relationships with both teams, so it's also a win for the lifestyle sporting apparel brand.

“Racing in Texas is always an amazing experience and to do so while teaming up with one of the State’s top sporting organizations makes it even more special.” said Oliver Oakes, Team Principal of BWT Alpine Formula One Team. “”
