Fernando Alonso didn’t just kick back all winter—he splurged on yet another head-turning ride, adding the slick Aston Martin DBX S to his already jaw-dropping garage mere days before Christmas. Monaco’s glitzy streets saw the two-time F1 champ grinning next to his newest toy, a $265,000 beast wrapped in stealthy Ultramarine Black. Classic Alonso: understated but deadly.
This isn’t just some flashy impulse buy. The man’s got history with Aston Martin, and the DBX S slots right into his lineup of automotive gems, from the brutal Valiant to the mad CLK GTR. Sure, it’s an SUV, but don’t be fooled; this thing scoffs at “practical.” Under the hood lurks a snarling 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, ripped straight from Mercedes’ playbook, pumping out 727 horses. Zero to 62 in 3.3 seconds? Yeah, it’s basically a supercar wearing a tux.
For a guy who lives for precision, the DBX S is a weirdly perfect fit—roomy enough for life’s curveballs, yet vicious enough to remind you it’s still Alonso’s driveway. And life’s throwing him a big one right now: whispers say he’s about to be a dad for the first time with partner Melissa Jimenez. Not that he’s blabbing about it—typical Fernando, keeping things close to the vest. But between baby prep and gearing up for another F1 grind, he still found time for a little automotive indulgence.
Because here’s the thing: Alonso never really switches off. Even when he’s not melting tires on track, that obsession with speed, with engineering, follows him home. The DBX S? Just another chapter in a story where the line between race car and daily driver gets gloriously blurred. Monaco’s sunny, the engine’s growling, and Alonso’s still proving that for him, driving isn’t just a job—it’s in the blood.
