  • Aston Martin will show DB12 S, Vantage S and DBX S at Goodwood from 9-12 July.
  • Valkyrie, Valhalla, Vanquish and the AMR25 Formula One car will appear alongside the S models.
  • Aston Martin announced the Goodwood line-up ahead of the 9-12 July festival.

Aston Martin is taking a high-performance family portrait to the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, with three S-badged models leading its factory display.

The British marque says the DB12 S, Vantage S and DBX S will headline its line-up at the annual hillclimb and motoring gathering, which runs from 9-12 July 2026. Aston Martin is framing the event as a showcase for its latest performance-focused road cars.

The S trio gives the stand a neat spread of Aston Martin's current showroom personality: grand tourer, sports car and SUV. The DB12 S represents the sharper side of the brand's front-engined GT formula, while the Vantage S carries the compact two-seat performance brief. The DBX S puts the same badge treatment on Aston Martin's SUV line.

Aston Martin has not used this announcement to disclose New Zealand pricing, launch timing or local allocation details for the Goodwood display cars.

The supporting cast is not exactly shy, either. Aston Martin says Valkyrie, Valhalla and Vanquish will also appear, bringing its hypercar, mid-engined supercar and flagship GT stories into one Goodwood line-up. The AMR25 Formula One car is listed for the event as well, tying the road-car display back to the brand's current grand prix programme.

Rather than a single debut moment, this is a broad reminder of where Aston Martin wants its modern range to sit: luxurious, fast and increasingly centred on models with a more focused edge.

The source announcement describes the DB12 S, Vantage S and DBX S as the brand's most potent, performance-focused set of series-production models yet. It also says the weekend will include hillclimb action from the AMR25, with Jak Crawford and Jessica Hawkins scheduled for festival runs in a Formula One car.

For Goodwood visitors, the appeal is simple. Aston Martin is bringing the elegant stuff, the loud stuff and the Formula One connection, all in one place.
