Aston Martin's 2026 Launch, Dhahran

In brief

  • Livery reveal at Ithra, Aramco's cultural centre - the last of eleven teams to launch
  • The car on display was a show car, confirmed by Motorsport.com
  • Lance Stroll address, a Hans Zimmer cellist, livestreamed worldwide

Aston Martin Aramco closed the 2026 launch season at Ithra, Aramco's cultural centre in Dhahran - a livery reveal with a Hans Zimmer cellist, a Lance Stroll address, and a global livestream.

The car under the lights was a show car, as Motorsport.com noted - the real AMR26, the first of the Newey era, was still under wraps. When a team saves its reveal for last, the stand-in has to be flawless.
