Fernando Alonso has taken delivery of a spectacular new Aston Martin DBX S, adding yet another high-performance machine from the British marque to his impressive collection.<\/p>\n
The two-time F1 drivers’ champion collected the \u00a3210,000+ performance SUV in Monaco just days before Christmas, posing alongside the Ultramarine Black machine outside Aston Martin’s Monaco dealership. For most, such a delivery would constitute the ultimate festive gift.<\/p>\n
“A festive Christmas to remember for @fernandoalo_oficial, as we just had the pleasure of delivering him his brand new Aston Martin DBX S,” read the dealership’s social media post. “All the Aston Martin Monaco team wishes you a merry Christmas and a happy holiday season!”<\/p>\n
Alonso’s response was characteristically understated: “Outstanding.”<\/p>\n
The timing of this acquisition comes after what proved to be another testing campaign for the 44-year-old Spaniard and Aston Martin in 2025.<\/p>\n
Despite the team’s significant investment and ambitious project, the AMR25 struggled to maintain its hold on fifth in the constructors’ standings, slipping to seventh, behind Williams and Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n
Alonso’s experience and racecraft remained undiminished, extracting maximum performance from machinery that often flattered to deceive. His ability to deliver points-scoring drives when the car showed pace highlighted why Aston Martin secured his services through the current cycle.<\/p>\n
The DBX S, powered by a 727bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 sourced from Mercedes, represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s SUV range. Capable of 0-62mph in just 3.3 seconds thanks to its lighter chassis and nine-speed transmission, it joins an enviable collection that includes an Aston Martin Valiant and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.<\/p>\n
With significant regulation changes looming for 2026, both Alonso and Aston Martin will be hoping the new DBX S proves a fitting celebration of better times ahead.<\/p>\n
The team’s new works partnership with Honda, which begins with the 2026 F1 season, aims to deliver the power unit performance needed to compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n
This strategic alliance, combined with Adrian Newey’s technical expertise, positions Aston Martin for a potentially transformative period as it aims to challenge for championships.<\/p>\n
