Honda reveal details around power unit launch

Honda has announced that its new power unit, exclusively for Aston Martin from 2026, will be unveiled in Tokyo on January 20, 2026. This marks a "new era" as Honda concludes its Red Bull partnership and aligns with Aston Martin for the dramatically reformed regulations, featuring 50% internal combustion and 50% electric power. The event will be livestreamed, with key figures like Honda's President and Aston Martin's Executive Chairman speaking. Aston Martin, currently using Mercedes power, aims to become a frontrunner with this new partnership and the appointment of legendary designer Adrian Newey as Team Principal, optimizing the crucial technical collaboration with Honda.
