Aston Martin unveils today the Aston Martin Vantage S Spa-Francorchamps, an ultra-exclusive version of Aston Martin’s revered sports car limited to just 12 examples, created to celebrate the brand’s historic connection with the 24 Hours of Spa. The model will make its public debut during the 2026 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa and will be available exclusively through Aston Martin Dealers in Belgium and Luxembourg.
Inspired by one of the most iconic circuits in the world of motorsport, the Vantage S Spa-Francorchamps pays tribute to Aston Martin’s successes at the circuit. At the legendary circuit nestled in the Ardennes, the British ultra-luxury performance brand has claimed two overall victories, in 1948 and 2024, alongside numerous class wins and podium finishes throughout its rich competition history.
Created through Q by Aston Martin, the brand’s bespoke personalisation service, the Vantage S Spa-Francorchamps reflects a stylish interpretation of a race car. Developed in exclusive collaboration with the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and its CEO, Amaury Bertholomé, this limited series combines unique exterior and interior details that draw on the distinctive character of the iconic Belgian circuit with the meticulous attention to detail that characterises every Q commission.
The Vantage S’s inherently performance focused character is reinforced by its Ceramic Grey paint, mirroring the dark asphalt of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Racing details include two stripes in Trophy Silver running from the bonnet to the rear of the car, complemented by matching silver mirror caps. It also features a bespoke detail on the front fenders, where the layout of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit is elegantly incorporated, paying tribute to the venue where the Vantage GT3, achieved one of the marque’s greatest modern motorsport triumphs in 2025.
The exclusive detailing continues inside with particular emphasis placed on a number of bespoke Q by Aston Martin features celebrating the heritage of Spa-Francorchamps. The seats feature an embroidered silhouette of the circuit together with the Belgian flag and the inscription ‘Est. 1921’, commemorating the year the legendary circuit was established. Another unique feature is the centre console storage compartment lid, which incorporates an elegant interpretation of the Belgian flag, while the armrest features embroidery inspired by the legendary Eau Rouge section of the circuit. The circuit’s exact length is also incorporated into the door sills, providing a further tribute to one of motorsport’s most iconic venues.
The passenger-side dashboard carries a bespoke ‘Spa-Francorchamps’ signature, while the door sill plaques display the iconic Aston Martin Wings logo above the individual numbering of each car, identifying it as one of only twelve examples to be created. Alongside the numbered plaque, an inscription captures the spirit of the legendary Belgian circuit and this exceptional model: ‘7,004 Kilometres of Passion”’.
Owners can further personalise their Vantage S Spa-Francorchamps through a selection of exclusive options. Brake callipers are available in black, yellow, red or silver, reflecting the colours of the Belgian flag and the racing-inspired livery. Carbon ceramic brakes are offered for enhanced endurance and track performance, while the premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system delivers an exceptional in-cabin experience. Completing the package is a specially curated accessory set comprising two bespoke Bell Carbon helmets featuring Q by Aston Martin design elements and matched to the vehicle’s exterior colour, together with a pair of coordinating driving gloves.
Powered by an enhanced 4.0-litre Twin-Turbo V8 producing 680PS, the Vantage S delivers exceptional dynamic performance and connection between driver and machine.
Ivan Kovac, Market Director Aston Martin Europe, said: “Spa-Francorchamps holds a unique place in Aston Martin’s racing history. From our first overall victory in 1948 to our centenary triumph in 2024, this circuit has been the stage for some of our most memorable achievements in motorsport. The Vantage S Spa-Francorchamps is a fitting tribute to that legacy, combining

A unique legacy at one of the world’s most iconic racing circuits
The 24 Hours of Spa has long been an important part of Aston Martin’s racing history. Held at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit since 1924, the race has provided the backdrop for some of the brand’s most memorable successes.
The first came in 1948, during the first edition held after the Second World War and at the dawn of a new era for Aston Martin following David Brown’s acquisition of the company. Racing on the original 15-kilometre circuit through the Ardennes, an Aston Martin DB1, driven by St. John Horsfall and Leslie Johnson, crossed the finish line after 24 hours to secure overall victory by a margin of two laps.
Aston Martin’s second overall victory arrived in 2024, during the centenary edition of the race. Having become a regular front-runner at Spa with multiple class victories and podium finishes since 2000, the British marque finally returned to the top step of the overall podium thanks to the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO entered by Comtoyou Racing and driven by Marco Sørensen, Nicki Thiim and Mattia Drudi.
Aston Martin returns to the 2026 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa with a seven-car entry, including the victorious Comtoyou Racing squad that claimed overall honours two years ago. Alongside the Belgian team’s four Vantage AMR GT3 EVOs, additional entries will be fielded by Walkenhorst Motorsport, Natural Elements by Walkenhorst Motorsport and Écurie Écosse.
Few circuits in the world encapsulate Aston Martin’s motorsport philosophy quite like Spa-Francorchamps, where the marque competes across GT racing, the FIA World Endurance Championship with the Aston Martin THOR Team Valkyrie Hypercar, and Formula One® with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team. Together, these programmes reflect a passion for competition that continues to shape Aston Martin’s identity both on the road and on the track.
