Autoworld presents the pop-up exhibition Aston Martin – Elegance in Motion from Friday 24 April to Sunday 21 June 2026.
Through a selection of around fifteen exceptional vehicles, the museum takes visitors on a journey through the rich history of a brand that is globally synonymous with elegance, sportiness and refinement.
Aston Martin was born from the passion of Lionel Martin, who achieved his first victory in 1913 at the Aston Clinton hill climb. That victory also gave the brand its name. What followed was a history characterised by artisanal production, technological refinement and a strong focus on exclusivity. In contrast to mass manufacturers, Aston Martin has always remained true to a philosophy in which quality, personalisation and driving experience are central.
Among the cars on display are a rare 1925 Side Valve, a DB1 Spa commemorating the victory of Horsfall and Johnson, and the elegant DB2/4 that once belonged to King Baudouin. The 1950s and 1960s are represented by iconic models such as the DB3, DB4 and the legendary DBR4 Formula One car.
The exhibition also features exclusive and modern creations such as the Aston Martin Victor, the radical DBR22 and the rare One-77, each embodying the brand’s vision of the future in its own way. Collaborations with renowned design houses are also highlighted, including the DB4 GT Zagato Recreation and the V8 Zagato.
However, the world of Aston Martin extends beyond the road and the racetrack. The brand is inextricably linked with cinema and luxury, and has become a cultural icon thanks to its role in the James Bond films.
A particular highlight is undoubtedly the DB5 James Bond Continuation, a contemporary interpretation of the iconic car from Goldfinger, which firmly established Aston Martin in popular culture.
With thanks to Aston Martin Brussels, Aston Martin Antwerp, and the private owners for making the exhibited vehicles available.
