Aston Martin nears completion of its new Welsh factory for the DBX
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2020-aston-martin-dbx-st-athan-wales-factory/
The new facility, located in St. Athan, Wales, is unique because it's built in three converted aircraft super-hangars that were initially owned by the Ministry of Defense. The company has already hired around 150 workers for the facility to work on preproduction for the DBX, but we expect the final headcount to number closer to the four-digit mark.
In case you forgot what the DBX looked like, it's a little different than most other luxury
SUVs that we've seen. It bears a closer resemblance to the Local Motors Rally Fighter than it does a Range Rover, and it seems like it's going to be built for speed rather than comfort. Needless to say, if we don't see an Aston Martin DBX kitted out with rally lights, skid bars and some form of anti-lag once production starts, we'll be very disappointed.
